PROGRAM A

WARM UP
Running Warm Up
Pull Up Warm Up
Squat Warm Up

WORKOUT

Every 5 Min for 4 Rounds:
Run 400 Meters
12 Pull Ups
24 Wall Balls

RX Men: 18-20#ish Ball
RX Women: 13-15#ish Ball

RX+ Men and Women:
18 Pull Ups and 36 Wall Balls

**Strict Pull Up Option: 7-10 Strict Pull Ups Per Round

Score: Fastest Round ONLY - BUT you still have to be able to finish all rounds under 5 min.
Goal: Under 4:00

Even though your score is the fastest round, you still want to finish every round with enough time to take a few breaths and recover just a little bit before going again. Choose a pull up variation that allows you to get all 12 reps in at most 3 sets.

For the 400m run, you're working with 2:00-2:30. Shorten the distance as needed to fit the time window. If unable to run due to space or weather purposes - 2 min double/single unders, low step ups, Mtn Climbers or toe taps or step ups to a low target.

For the pull ups you may do strict, kipping/butterfly or ring/trx row. You may also do a row with the bar on the rack OR do a bent over row if none of those other options are available. You may do banded pull ups but control the descent and be sure to avoid the bounce out of the bottom.

Whatever you choose, make sure that you start all the way at the bottom and either get the chin over or pull the chest all the way up at the top!

For the wall balls, hold the ball at your chest with the elbows tucked in. Feet under the shoulders with heels down. Chest up and belly tight! Reach the butt back and down. Keep the heels down. 
Drive the knees out. Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom. No plopping or rounding! 
Use the power from your legs to help throw the ball!

When you catch it. Catch first and then squat.

For the wall balls the ideal target height is roughly 9-10', but whatever you can make work is fine! If you have low ceilings or no ball you can sub lightweight thrusters. We prefer either a single heavy dumbbell (like the video) or 2 light dumbbells/bar.

Squat Warm Up

SHIFT WORKOUT

4 Rounds
Each Round is a 4 Min AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps in 4 Min)
30 Sec Jog/Run/Walk, Bike, Row, Taps,
Single Unders
6 Ring/TRX Rows or Upright Rows
8 Air Squats
When the clock hits 4 min - REST 1 MIN!!

No weight needed today!

Score: Total Number of Completed Rounds + Any Additional Reps from ALL 4 AMRAPs
Goal: 12 Rounds + (That's 3 Rounds Per 4 Min AMRAP)

For this workout you will go through the 30 seconds of movement, followed by 6 ring rows,  8 air squats for 4 minutes. When the clock hits 4 minutes you will rest 1 minute and then repeat that cycle for a total of 4 rounds or 20 minutes.

For the 30 seconds you can choose between a Jog/Run/Walk, Bike, Row or Taps.

If you are doing the TRX/Ring/Bar in Rack option - just remember that the more parallel your body is to the ground - the more difficult these become. Since it's only 6 at a time - challenge yourself! Make sure you start with straight arms at the bottom - keep the body rigid and belly tight - and pull all of the way to your chest at the top.

For the upright rows you will either have a single DB/KB in both hands or a pair of pretty light dumbbells (one in each hand). The weight will start held at the waist with you standing tall. Shrug the shoulders up - keep shoulder blades pulled back - then pull the elbows high and outside to bring the weight up the body. This should look like you are zipping up your jacket. Elbows should stay back! Make sure not to let the shoulders and elbows roll forward. Bring to chest height. Lower under control.

For the air squats you will have the feet shoulder width apart with the heels down. Lift the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down as you drive the knees out. Ideally you will get your butt lower than your knees at the bottom with the chest up and belly still tight! Drive through the heels and drive the knees out to stand completely.

If you have a tendency to collapse at the bottom you may try using a counter balance. If you have pain or issue in the bottom from current or past injury or issue - you may choose to squat to a slightly higher target.  Still focus on heels down, knees out, chest up!

PROGRAM A*

PROGRAM A

WARM UP
Full Body Simple Warm Up
Box Jump Warm Up

WORKOUT

8 Rounds
8 Devil Lunges
16 Box Jump Overs

RX Men: 40# DBs
RX Women: 25# DBs

RX+ Men: 50# DBs
RX+ Women: 35# DBs

Score: Total Time
Goal: 12-20 Min

You'll want to keep it within the 12-20 minute range here. Not faster or slower. It's a lot of reps so choose a pace, load and a box height that you are able to keep moving without having to stop and stand around while you catch your breath.

For the devil lunges, start standing with the dumbbells on the ground about shoulder width apart. Place your hands on the dumbbells. Jump or step your feet back. Get your chest and thighs to the ground. Press to lockout (top of push up). Jump or step the feet in and stand up with the dumbbells so they are by your sides.

Then, do a reverse lunge on each leg. Make sure you take a long enough step back so that the heel of your front foot is down when the back knee GENTLY touches the ground. Stand all of the way up between reps and alternate legs with each lunge.

So 1 rep = DB burpee + lunge right leg + lunge left leg.

If you need to modify, try a burpee + alternating step up, use a single dumbbell or go unweighted.

For the box jump overs you will choose a box that is roughly 22-24” for Men and 18-20” for Women if you can! You'll just jump onto the box, then step off the other side to complete the rep. If that height is too much for you - go lower! Make sure when you jump and when you land that the knees do not cave in!

If you don't have something to jump on and then over - just find something to jump OVER!

If you are unable to jump at this time - even if you go way low - you may sub step up and overs.  We prefer you to jump if possible!

If jumping is not happening, just do step up and overs.

You'll want to keep it within the 12-20 minute range here. Not faster or slower. It's a lot of reps so choose a pace, load and a box height that you are able to keep moving without having to stop and stand around while you catch your breath.

Burpees start standing. Place your hands on the ground. Jump or step your feet back. Get your chest and thighs to the ground. Press to lockout (top of push up). Jump or step the feet in. Jump up and clap with arms overhead!

For the box jump overs you will choose a box that is roughly 22-24” for Men and 18-20” for Women if you can! You'll just jump onto the box, then step off the other side to complete the rep. If that height is too much for you - go lower! Make sure when you jump and when you land that the knees do not cave in!

If you don't have something to jump on and then over - just find something to jump OVER!

If you are unable to jump at this time - even if you go way low - you may sub step up and overs.  We prefer you to jump if possible!

If jumping is not happening, just do step up and overs.

For these lunges, make sure the bar is resting on the shoulders with a loose fingertip grip and elbows high! Keep the chest up, but do not overextend the back. Keep the belly tight! You may perform forward stepping, reverse stepping, or even walking lunges. Make sure you take a long enough step with the front leg so that your heel can be down on that foot when the back knee GENTLY touches the ground. Stand all of the way up between reps and alternate legs with each lunge. So for each set of 6 you end up doing 3 on each side.

To modify, try a front rack step up (maybe to a lower target), alternating single leg deadlifts, plate hug lunges, or even unweighted lunges.

Score: Total Time
Goal: 12 - 20 Min

You'll want to keep it within the 12-20 minute range here. Not faster or slower. It's a lot of reps so choose a pace, load and a box height that you are able to keep moving without having to stop and stand around while you catch your breath.

For the sandbag burpee plus front rack lunge, start standing with the bag on the ground in front of your feet.  Place your hands on the bag. Jump or step your feet back. Get your chest and thighs to the ground. Press to lockout (top of push up). Jump or step the feet in.

Keep your chest up and belly tight as you stand up hard and fast. Shrug your shoulders and pull the elbows high and outside, then rotate them around the bag to receive it on your biceps with upper arms parallel to the floor.

Then, do a reverse lunge on each leg. Make sure you take a long enough step back so that the heel of your front foot is down when the back knee GENTLY touches the ground. Stand all of the way up between reps and alternate legs with each lunge.

So 1 rep = Sandbag burpee + lunge right leg + lunge left leg.

To modify, try a sandbag burpee + alternating step up on each leg.

For the box jump overs you will choose a box that is roughly 22-24” for Men and 18-20” for Women if you can! You'll just jump onto the box, then step off the other side to complete the rep. If that height is too much for you - go lower! Make sure when you jump and when you land that the knees do not cave in!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

BURPEES - Pay attention to any coning or doming you have in the plank position of the burpee or any sensation of pressure on your pelvic floor as you hop back or hop forward. Feel free to sub: No push up burpee, Elevated burpee, Step back/forward burpee, Air Squat + Elevated Push Up, Table Top (all fours position) + Air Squat, Ball Slams, KB Swings, Farmer/Goblet march, Glute Bridges, Sumo Deadlift High Pull

LUNGE - If you have any pubic symphysis pain or SPD focus on keeping your pelvis neutral and your hips level. You could always do lighter weight, smaller step/less range of motion, or step up or forward instead of step back in the lunge. You can also try stepping laterally onto a stack of plates or something instead of stepping back or up, sometimes this helps create some control in managing the position of the pelvis. Feel free to sub a squat or goblet squat for the lunges.

BOX JUMP/JUMP/SKIP OVERS - This is going to be all about managing the impact and pressure to your core and pelvic floor. The SHIFT options for smaller Jump/Skip Overs are good for helping you achieve the stimulus with a little less impact. You can ALWAYS substitute Step Ups if you want zero impact or even KB Swings if you want to get a little more explosive with your hips. For pregnant mamas, please remember that if you are unsure if you can complete the movement because of balance, strength, or coordination it may not be worth the risk of potentially falling or busting up your shins! For mamas further along in their Postpartum you can try a lower height of box to practice that two foot take off and landing without the extra impact. Focus on your breath and posture throughout the movement and do less reps if that helps you concentrate on good technique and awareness in your body.

SHIFT WORKOUT

12 Min AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible in 12 Min)
4 Burpees
6 Alternating Unweighted Lunges
8 Jump Overs / Plate Hops / or KB Swings

No weight needed!

Score: Total Number of Completed Rounds + Any Additional Reps
Goal: 8 Rounds+

For this workout you will go through the 4 burpees, 6 alternating unweighted lunges, and 8 jump overs for 12 minutes.

For the burpees you may do regular, knee push up burpees, no push up burpees, or even an elevated burpee!

The lunges should be unweighted and alternating. This means you end up doing 6 per leg per round. These may be forward stepping, reverse stepping, or walking lunges. Make sure you take a long enough step each time that the front heel stays down, with the knee out, when the back knee lightly touches (or comes close).  Keep the chest up and drive through the heel to stand completely between reps. You can even use a little bench, box or wall for assistance.

If you are unable to lunge you may swap out single leg alternating toe touches (like a single leg deadlift with no weight) - or alternating step ups.

For the Dumbbell/KB hop over you will stand facing the Dumbbell/KB and jump over it. Then you will turn around and jump back over the object. You can scale to a line if you are intimidated to go over something. You can also sub a little skip over.

If you are performing the plate jump you will jump with two feet onto the plate - make sure you get your whole foot on the plate. Then step down. You can even sub a little skip if you want.

If you are not able to jump the sub today is a KB swing. For the swings you will hold the weight with both hands at the waist. Feet are about shoulder width apart. Heels are down. Hinge forward at the hips and bend the knees slightly. Keep the chest lifted and heels down. Belly tight and arms straight. Pull the weight back through the legs. Stand up HARD and FAST to make the bell weightless and then (keeping the belly tight) guide the weight to shoulder height. Allow gravity to bring it back down and back between the legs. Don't allow it to pull you forward. Keep those heels down!

Ideal weight for Men: Single 25-50# KB/DB
Ideal weight for Women: Single 12-30# KB/DB

Score: Total Reps From All 3 Stations for All 7 Rounds Combined
Goal: 250-350+ Reps

(Each Alternating Press Counts as 1 Rep - so Right Press = 1, Left Press = 2...and so on)

Choose a load you can get at least 10 reps on the shoulder press each time, so either use lighter dumbbells or use a single dumbbell with both arms, go for it and use both dumbbells for the squats.

Those of you who are super proficient with double unders are likely going to have a much higher rep count on this one. Keep that in mind when assessing the goal!

Set up for the strict press with the DBs on the shoulders with elbows high. Keep the rib cage down and belly tight. Press one dumbbell straight up until your elbow is locked out with bicep by the ears. Bring the dumbbell all the way down to the shoulder then press with the other arm. Each time you press is one rep so 6 reps is 3 on each arm.

For these squats hold the DBs at the shoulder. The feet should be shoulder width apart. Heels down. Raise the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down and drive the knees out. Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom. No collapsing or rounding the back at the bottom! Stand all the way up at the top.

For the double unders, your rope will pass two times under your feet for every one jump. Keep your chest up and your landing soft. It's just like a single under but you jump a little higher and spin the rope faster using your wrists, not your arms!

For this workout you will want to choose a jumping variation that will not be super broken up. You can of course use this opportunity to practice this skill but to get the desired effect from the workout you might go with the hop overs or single unders instead.

Score: Total Reps From All 3 Stations for All 7 Rounds Combined
Goal: 250-350+ Reps

Lots of ways to tackle this one in terms of loading so make sure you note how you did it in the comments. Choose a load you can get at least 10 reps on the shoulder presses in the first few rounds.

Those of you who are super proficient with double unders are likely going to have a much higher rep count on this one. Keep that in mind when assessing the goal!

Shoulder press starts with the bar on your shoulders, full grip with elbows in front. Feet are hip to shoulder width apart. Squeeze your butt, your quads and your belly. Keep your chest up, ribcage down. Press the bar straight up so you have to pull your face out of the way to clear a path. Finish with arms locked out overhead, biceps by the ears.

To lower, move your face out of the way and keep your elbows in front of the bar.

These squats start with the bar on the back. The feet should be shoulder width apart. Heels down. Raise the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down and drive the knees out. Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom. No collapsing or rounding the back at the bottom! Drive through the heels, lead with the chest, keep the belly tight, and push the knees out as you come up! Stand all of the way up at the top.

For the double unders, your rope will pass two times under your feet for every one jump. Keep your chest up and your landing soft. It's just like a single under but you jump a little higher and spin the rope faster using your wrists, not your arms!

The SHIFT options for smaller Jump/Skip Overs are good for helping you achieve the stimulus with a little less impact. You can ALWAYS substitute Step Ups if you want zero impact or even KB Swings if you want to get a little more explosive with your hips. For pregnant mamas, please remember that if you are unsure if you can complete the movement because of balance, strength, or coordination it may not be worth the risk of potentially falling or busting up your shins! For mamas further along in their Postpartum you can try a lower height of box to practice that two foot take off and landing without the extra impact. Focus on your breath and posture throughout the movement and do less reps if that helps you concentrate on good technique and awareness in your body.

SINGLE UNDERS - To avoid the added pressure to the pelvic floor that DUs/SUs can create, sub: Taps, Row, Bike, Quick Step Ups, Calf Raises. If you're postpartum and working towards rehab-ing your core and pelvic floor you can choose from the same subs for pregnancy and/or scaling the number of DUs/SUs down to a number that is realistic for you to practice proper positioning and pressure. Any leaking or heaviness in the pelvic floor is a sign that you need to adapt your approach or change the movement to less impact.

Station 2: Goblet Squat
Station 3: Single Unders / Taps

Flow:
30 Seconds Max Overhead Press
30 Seconds Rest

30 Seconds Rest

Ideal weight for Men: Single 30-50# KB/DB - or - Pair of Lighter Dumbbells
Ideal weight for Women: Single 12-30# KB / DB - or - Pair of Lighter Dumbbells

Score: Total Reps from All 3 Stations and All 5 Rounds Combined
Goal: 180-250 Reps!

For this workout you will perform 30 seconds of movement, followed by 30 seconds of rest for 5 rounds or 15 minutes total.

For the shoulder press you can use two DB on the shoulders or one DB/KB at the chest. Focus on keeping the rib cage down as you go to press up. Press the object until it’s completely locked out overhead with the biceps in the ears! Then bring the dumbbells all the way down to the shoulders each time.

For the Goblet Squat you will hold the weight at the chest/shoulders. Feet are shoulder width apart with the heels down. Lift the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down. Keep the heels down as you drive the knees out. Ideally you will get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom with heels down, knees out, and chest up! Drive through the heels to stand!

If you need to - you can do these with no weight in order to get all of the way down and keep good position.  Or if injury/issue prevents this you may squat to a slightly higher target!

For the taps /single unders you will pick one where you can move for the whole 30 seconds. You may also choose to do low step ups if jumping or skipping is not an option.

**Only go up to RX+ if you can still hit the goal rounds with those reps and won't have to break a ton!

Score: Total Number of Completed Rounds + Any Additional Reps
Goal: 7-12 Rounds

Set yourself up for 90 second rounds or less. Choose a load on the snatches and variation on the bodyweight movements that will allow you to go unbroken most of the way if not ALL THE WAY!!

Toes to bar starts with you hanging from the bar with hands slightly wider than shoulders, shoulders drawn down away from your ears and arms straight. Think about pushing the bar out in front of you so your shoulders travel back behind the bar as you raise your toes up to touch bar between your hands.

If you don't have a pull up bar, sub with V-Ups.

Or, modify to Knee-Ups, Supine Toe Touches holding a single dumbbell over the chest or regular sit-ups if you need to!

For the push up, we want to see a rigid body position with shoulders above or beyond the wrists and hands just wider than shoulder width. Squeeze your butt, your thighs and your belly. No sagging hips or snaking.

Keep your elbows within 45 degrees to the body as you lower your chest and thighs to make contact with the floor. Stay engaged. Press back up to the the top until arms are totally straight.

To maintain these good positions throughout, you may need to go from the knees or elevate your hands.

For the single DB Hang Power Snatches you will bring the dumbbell to the waist. You will hinge forward slightly while keeping the chest up and belly tight. Keep the heels down and knees out - arm straight. Stand up hard and fast - shrug the shoulder - punch the working elbow out to the side to keep the dumbbell close to the body as it travels UP! From here you will either punch to lockout or punch to lockout WHILE punching yourself UNDER slightly. Get the bicep by the ear and stand completely with it still there to complete the rep!

Lower back to the waist and switch hands. You will alternate hands with each rep for these, so you end up doing 4 per arm per round.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

TOES TO BAR - This movement and its scaled version of Knee Raises or V-Ups puts A LOT of pressure on the core and pelvic floor. Please consider risk vs. reward when deciding if this movement is right for you. If you feel confident with your core and pelvic floor health you can always try fewer reps to notice and manage any symptoms. You can also SUB: Functional Progressions (Choose any from 1-4), Ball Slams, KB Swings, Overhead Plate Hold/March, Palloff Press, Banded/Wallball Woodchop, Standing Cross Body Wallball Throws, Goblet Hold/Squat, or Waiter Walks. See MAMA MODS MOVEMENT LIBRARY FOR DEMOS.

SIT UPS - Sit ups are a really big demand for the core and pelvic floor and for the most part are not recommended during pregnancy and the rehab/rebuilding stages of postpartum. If you are ready to start incorporating them you can try less reps, less range of motion (i.e. with pillows behind you), or supported with a band. However you can always sub one of the following movements: Functional Progressions (Choose any from 1-4), Ball Slams, KB Swings, Overhead Plate Hold/March, Palloff Press, Banded/Wallball Woodchop, Standing Cross Body Wallball Throws, Goblet Hold/Squat, Waiter Walk (SEE MAMA MODS MOVEMENT LIBRARY FOR DEMOS)

PUSH UPS - If you notice coning/doming in the plank position or if you find yourself straining to breathe or bearing down forcefully into your belly or pelvic floor, sub an elevated push up with hands on box, bench, wall, table, etc. or sub floor press, or bench press.

KB SWING - If you notice any coning or pulling in the overhead position of the swing, sub shoulder height or eye level swings and focus on posture and breathing mechanics. If the shape of your body (preggo bellies!) is making the bottom position a little too tight for comfort, you can sub a single arm swing!

Ideal weight for Men: Single 25-40# KB/DB
Ideal weight for Women: Single 12-25# KB/DB

Score: Total Number of Completed Rounds + Any Additional Reps
Goal: 9-14 Rounds

For this workout you will go through the 6 Sit Ups, 8 Push Ups, and 10 KB/DB Swings for 12 minutes.

For the sit ups you can do whatever you like with your feet, but we would love to see you come all of the way up at the top and touch your toes. If you need to, you can use a stretchy band or rope attached to something for a little assistance to  pull yourself all the way up.

No sit ups or crunching right now? You may try a dead bug or slam balls.

For the push ups you may do regular push ups, knee push ups, or even elevated push ups. Choose a type of push up that you can't just bust out 10 reps. It's ok if you need to break them up a bit.

Make sure the elbows go back and that the hands are just wider than the shoulders. No flaring elbows. Keep the belly tight and avoid worming or snaking. Go all of the way down to touch the chest at the bottom, come all of the way up at the top.

For the swings you will hold the weight with both hands at the waist. Feet are about shoulder width apart. Heels are down. Hinge forward at the hips and bend the knees slightly. Keep the chest lifted and heels down. Belly tight and arms straight. Pull the weight back through the legs. Stand up HARD and FAST to make the bell weightless and then (keeping the belly tight) guide the weight to shoulder height. Allow gravity to bring it back down and back between the legs. Don't allow it to pull you forward. Keep those heels down!

You are shooting for 2-3 minute rounds here. If it is any faster than that, you are probably rushing the get ups. Take your time on those and focus on quality!

Hitting every position in the Turkish get up is extremely important so take your time on these and go as light as you need to. Use a shoe if you need to!

Start on your back. Holding the weight in your right hand, extend your arm straight up in the air. Bend your right knee so your right foot is flat on the floor.

Bring your left arm out to the side about 45°. Keep your right arm vertical for the entire movement. Roll onto your left forearm, then up to your left hand. Sweep your left leg under and behind your right leg so some of your weight is on your left shin.

Raise your left hand off the floor and come up into a lunge position. Stand up all the way.

To complete the rep, retrace your steps back down until you are lying on your back.

For these burpees, start standing next to your dumbbells (not facing), bend your knees, hinge forward at the hips and plant your hands on the floor. Step or jump your feet back to a plank position. Lower knees, hips, and chest all the way down to the floor then press back up. Jump or step your feet in - then jump over the dumbbells. The rep is complete when you land on the other side.

**Want to use a sandbag? Swap the dumbbells out for one and put your score in this version!

Score: Total Time
Goal: 15-21 Min

Choose a load that would allow you to get at least 20 unbroken lunges if you wanted to, although you'll probably want to break it up sooner so you don't fall apart at the end!

All 150 reps of the weighted movements should take you 8-12 minutes.

For the 600m run, you're working with 3-4 minutes. Shorten the distance as needed to fit the time window. If you choose RX+, it should still be in this range.

If unable to run due to space, weather, or anything else, switch to:
5 Rounds
90 Seconds low step ups, taps, singles, doubles, or skip overs
10 Front Rack Lunge
10 Power Clean
10 Front Rack Lunge

For these lunges, make sure the dumbbells are resting on the shoulders with the elbows high! Keep the chest up, but do not overextend the back. Keep the belly tight! You may perform forward stepping, reverse stepping, or even walking lunges. Make sure you take a long enough step with the front leg so that your heel can be down on that foot when the back knee GENTLY touches the ground. Stand all of the way up between reps and alternate legs with each lunge. So for each set of 50 you end up doing 25 on each side.

You can also switch these to shoulder racked step ups if that feels better.

DB power clean starts with the DBs on the ground just outside your feet, which are positioned hip width apart. Bend your knees and keep your heels down. Allow a slight hinge at the hips, arms straight. Keep your belly tight and your back flat.

Stand up hard and fast. Shrug the shoulders. Pull the elbows high as you pull yourself down. Shoot the elbows around and through FAST to allow the DBs to land on the shoulder with the elbows high. Catch in just a partial front squat with the heels down, knees out, chest up. Stand to complete the rep and then lower the weight back to the ground for the next rep.

Score: Total Time
Goal: 15-21 Min

Choose a load that would allow you to get at least 20 unbroken lunges if you wanted to, although you'll probably want to break it up sooner so you don't fall apart at the end!

All 150 reps of the weighted movements should take you 8-12 minutes.

For the bike/row, you're working with 3:30-4:30. Shorten the calories/distance as needed to fit the time window. If you choose RX+, it should still be in this range.

For these lunges, make sure the bar is resting on the shoulders with a loose fingertip grip and elbows high! Keep the chest up, but do not overextend the back. Keep the belly tight! You may perform forward stepping, reverse stepping, or even walking lunges. Make sure you take a long enough step with the front leg so that your heel can be down on that foot when the back knee GENTLY touches the ground. Stand all of the way up between reps and alternate legs with each lunge. So for each set of 50 you end up doing 25 on each side.

You can also switch to front rack step ups if that feels better.

Power Cleans start with the bar on the ground. Hands will be outside of the legs. Feet under the hips roughly. Knees are bent, bar is close to the body, chest is up, arms are straight. Stand by driving the heels down and lifting the chest. Stand up hard and fast (jump) SHRUG the shoulders. Pull the elbows high and outside to keep the bar close. Shoot the elbows around and through FAST to get the bar on the shoulder with the elbows high. As you shoot the elbows around you will pull yourself under into a partial front squat. Stand fully to complete the movement.

For these lunges, make sure the dumbbells are resting on the shoulders with the elbows high! Keep the chest up, but do not overextend the back. Keep the belly tight! You may perform forward stepping, reverse stepping, or even walking lunges. Make sure you take a long enough step with the front leg so that your heel can be down on that foot when the back knee GENTLY touches the ground. Stand all of the way up between reps and alternate legs with each lunge.

You can also switch these to shoulder racked step ups if that feels better.

DB power clean starts with the DBs on the ground just outside your feet, which are positioned hip width apart. Bend your knees and keep your heels down. Allow a slight hinge at the hips, arms straight. Keep your belly tight and your back flat.

Stand up hard and fast. Shrug the shoulders. Pull the elbows high as you pull yourself down. Shoot the elbows around and through FAST to allow the DBs to land on the shoulder with the elbows high. Catch in just a partial front squat with the heels down, knees out, chest up. Stand to complete the rep and then lower the weight back to the ground for the next rep.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

LUNGE - If you have any pubic symphysis pain or SPD focus on keeping your pelvis neutral and your hips level. You could always do lighter weight, smaller step/less range of motion, or step up or forward instead of step back in the lunge lunge. You can also try stepping laterally onto a stack of plates or something instead of stepping back or up, sometimes this helps create some control in managing the position of the pelvis. Feel free to sub a squat or goblet squat for the lunges.

POWER CLEAN - You could also try less weight, going from the hang position or starting with the dumbbells between your feet. For pregnant mamas with bellies that interrupt the most efficient path of the bar, be sure to sub DBs for the bar so you are not training inefficient movement patterns.

RUN/JOG - To avoid the added pressure to the pelvic floor that the impact from running can create, sub: Taps, Row, Bike, Farmer Carry, Sled Push/Drag, Quick Step Ups. If you're postpartum and working towards rehab-ing your core and pelvic floor you can choose from the same subs for pregnancy and/or scaling the distance that you run so that you can focus on your posture, breathing mechanics, and managing the pressure of your or and pelvic floor.
