PROGRAM A*

PROGRAM A

WARM UP
Full Body Simple Warm Up

WORKOUT

4 Rounds (For Time)
Each Round is to Be Performed as Fast as Possible

20 Weighted Step Ups
20 Devil Press

Rest 2 Min Between Rounds

RX Men: 40# DBs / 22-24" Box(Step)
RX Women: 25# DBs  / 18-20" Box(Step)

RX + Men and Women: Go Faster! Ha ha.

Score: Total Time INCLUDING REST!!
Goal: 18-24 Min (This is around 3-5 Min per Round not including rest)

No RX + - because we just don't feel it's necessary. You are big boys and girls - if you really want to go heavier that's up to you.

Set yourself up for 3 minute rounds at the beginning. You are going as fast as you can each round, so expect the times to fall off. Choose a load that allows you to complete the Devil Presses in less than 2 minutes with minimal breaks.

For these step ups you can hold the dumbbells at your waist or on your shoulders. Make sure you step up with your foot completely on the box. Drive out of the heel for each rep and avoid the knee caving in. Stand up all the way at the top of the box and make sure both feet are planted.

Rather than a DB in each hand, you can lower the weight by holding a single dumbbell or kettlebell at the chest.

If you don't have something to step up onto, or if you are uncomfortable stepping up right now you can sub alternating lunges. Each lunge counts as one rep.

A devil press is BASICALLY a burpee with dumbbells in your hands. You do a push up with hands on the dumbbells, jump or step the feet in. Pick the dumbbells up from between the feet with heels down and arms straight (keep the back flat!!). Use the power from the legs and the hips to basically complete a combination KB Swing - clean and jerk - snatch.

The movement finishes with the elbows locked and biceps by the ears! Control the lower and keep the back flat as you set up for the next rep!

You can also switch this to a burpee + dumbbell or kettlebell swing.

WORKOUT

4 Rounds (For Time)
Each Round is to Be Performed as Fast as Possible

30 Weighted Step Ups
30 Plate Burpees

Rest 2 Min Between Rounds

RX Men: 35-45# Plate(s)
RX Women: 25# Plate(s)

Men: 22-24"
Women: 18-20"

RX + Men and Women: Go Faster! Ha ha.

Score: Total Time INCLUDING REST!!
Goal: 18-24 Min

Set yourself up for 3-4 minute rounds at the beginning. You are going as fast as you can each round, so expect the times to fall off. Choose a load that allows you to complete the Plate Burpee in less than 2:30 with minimal breaks.

For these step ups, hold the plate at your chest. Make sure you step up with your foot completely on the box. Drive out of the heel for each rep and avoid the knee caving in. Stand up all the way at the top of the box and make sure both feet are planted.

If you don't have something to step up onto, or if you are uncomfortable stepping up right now you can sub alternating lunges. Each lunge counts as one rep.

Make sure you choose a weight and a height that you are comfortable stepping up AND down.

A plate burpee step up is a burpee with your hands on the plate (touch your chest to the plate at the bottom). When you stand up from the burpee you bring the plate with you. Make sure you lift your chest, keep your back flat, and drive through your heels. Bring it to the chest. Step up onto the box. Stand all of the way up on your box/bench. Step off. Plate back to the ground - new burpee.

If you have a smaller plate like a 2.5 or 5lb, place one side of your big plate on there during the burpee so you can slide your fingers under without smashing them.

You can also switch this to a burpee + dumbbell or kettlebell swing.

WARM UP
Full Body Simple Warm Up

WORKOUT

4 Rounds (For Time)
Each Round is to Be Performed as Fast as Possible

20 Sandbag Step Ups
20 Sandbag Burpees

Rest 2 Min Between Rounds

Idea Sandbag Weights:
Men: 50-70#
Women: 25-45#

Box Height:
Men: 22-24"
Women: 18-20"

Score: Total Time INCLUDING REST!!
Goal: 18-24 Min (This is around 3-5 Min per round not including rest)

Set yourself up for 3 minute rounds at the beginning. You are going as fast as you can each round, so expect the times to fall off. The sandbag burpees should take less than 2 minutes at the beginning. If much more than that, or a much heavier bag, you might drop the reps down to whatever you get in that first 2 minute window.

For the sandbag step-ups. Choose a box that is roughly 22-24" for men and 18-20" for women. You can clean the bag to the front rack, or pop over the head and use the back rack. You can also clean the sandbag to either shoulder and perform your step-ups this way. Facing the box you will step up with one leg, with the whole foot on the box and drive through you heel! Stand all the way up onto the box, then back down, alternate legs each rep.

If you find yourself leaning forward a lot when stepping, try lowering the height.

You can also switch to alternating lunges.

For the Sandbag Burpee, the bag will start right in front of your feet. Plant your hands on the bag a bit wider than shoulder width apart. Step or jump your feet back to a plank position and lower your chest to the bag, knees/thighs to the floor. Press back up to straight arms and step or jump your feet back in.

Grab hold of the overhand handles, bend your knees and lift your chest up. Keep the heels down. With your back flat and belly tight, stand up with the sandbag by driving through the heels and lifting the chest. Explode UP with the legs and hips. Shrug the shoulders. Pull the elbow high and outside. Then PUNCH the sandbag to lock out finishing with the biceps by the ear!

You can also switch this to a burpee + dumbbell or kettlebell swing.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

DB STEP UPS - 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 or shorter step/less range of motion. You can also try stepping laterally onto a stack of plates or something instead of stepping forward and up, sometimes this helps create some control in managing the position of the pelvis. Option to sub: Single Leg Glute Bridge, Hip Thrusts, Air Squat, Goblet/DB Squat

DEVIL PRESS - If you feel a lot of pressure in your belly or pelvic floor in the plank position or hopping forward/back, you can step back/forward to a table top or low bear pose or skip the plank/push up. You can also use less weight. If you have to modify the movement too much you may want to sub KB Swings, Sled Push/Pull, Farmer Carry, Thrusters, Wall Balls or Ball Slams so that you can keep moving and keep the heart rate up!

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

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!

Make sure to put your WHOLE foot on the step each time. Don't allow the knee to cave in and drive out of the heel to stand completely. Lower under control and switch feet. Each set of 10 you will do 5 per leg.

You may sub alternating lunges for the step-ups. These can be forward, reverse, or walks lunges.

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

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!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

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.

DB SQUATS - If you have a hard time maintaining control and a stable midline in the bottom of the squat or if you find yourself bearing down to get out of the bottom, try subbing a target or assisted squat to shorten the range of motion. A box squat is always a great idea especially during pregnancy to strengthen the posterior chain and balance out the growing belly.

TUESDAY SHIFT 05/26/2020
SHIFT WARM UP
SHIFT WORKOUT

8 Rounds
30 Seconds Jog, Row, Bike, Taps, Single Unders, or Low Step Ups
10 Air Squats

That's it!
Push the pace!

Score: Total Time
Goal: Under 11 Min

For this workout, you will move for 30 seconds followed up by 10 air squats until you've completed 8 rounds total.

The goal here is to do the first part at an uncomfortable pace - so don't use it as recovery. It's only 30 seconds!

If finish under 8 min - go up to 10 rounds.

For the first part you will choose from a jog/run, row, bike, taps, single unders (jump rope), or low step ups,

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

WARM UP
Box Jump Warm Up
Pull Up Warm Up

WORKOUT

Consider supine rows, bent over rows, or V-ups as a sub if you did Murph over the weekend!

3 Rounds (For Time)

20 Pull Ups
30 Box Jump Overs
20 Toes To Bar / V- Ups

Rest 1 Min Between Rounds

RX Men: 20-24in Box
RX Women: 16-20in Box

RX+ Men/Women: 4 Rounds - ONLY IF - you finish first 3 Rounds UNDER 17 Min (Including Rest)

Strict Pull Up Option: 10-15 Strict Pull Ups per Round (depending on Strict Pull Up ability)

Score: Total Time (including rest)
Goal: 16-21 Minutes

Choose a pull up variation that allows at least 5 reps at a time with short breaks in between.

Box jump overs should take less than 2 minutes. Lower the height if you need to.

Break up the toes to bar to save your grip. Shoot for 1:30-2:00 to get through them.

For the pull ups you may do strict, kipping/butterfly or ring/trx row. You may also do a row with the bar in 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 box jump overs, choose a box that is roughly 22-24in for men and 18-20in 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!

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 or regular sit-ups if you need to!

Mamas, go with ball slams or Russian KB/DB swings. Check out members only for a full list of mama modifications.

Box jump overs should take less than 2 minutes. Lower the height if you need to.

Break up the toes to bar to save your grip. Shoot for 1:30-2:00 to get through them.

A muscle up is a combination of a big pull up, a transition, and a dip. Make sure you are proficient with pull ups and dips before attempting a muscle up in a workout. You may modify with jumping, banded, foot assisted etc. versions to practice the transition from the pull up into the dip. Make sure you still choose something challenging.

For the box jump overs, choose a box that is roughly 22-24in for men and 18-20in 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

PULL UPS - For managing the pressure of the core and pelvic floor during Early Pregnancy or later on in the Rebuilding stages of PP sub: strict pull ups or banded pull ups. To avoid any coning in the belly during 2nd/3rd Trimester or Rehab stage of PP, while hanging from the bar sub: Ring Rows, Bent Over Rows, Banded Lat Pull Downs, Banded Woodchop, Banded Lat Pull Downs, DB/KB Front Raises. Kipping Pull Ups should only be added back into the later stages of Rebuilding in PP once the rehab is complete and athlete shows proficiency in strict movements.

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.

TOES TO BAR - This movement and it's 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)

WEDNESDAY SHIFT 05/27/2020
SHIFT WARM UP
SHIFT WORKOUT

12 Min AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible in 12 Min)

10 Ring/TRX Rows, or Bent Over Rows
10 Jump Overs
10 Sit Ups

No weight needed! (If doing bent over rows - go with something you can complete 10 reps in no more than 2 sets)

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

For this workout, you will perform 10 rows, 10 jump overs, and 10 sit-ups for 12 minutes!

If you are doing the TRX/Ring Row - just remember that the more parallel your body is to the ground - the more difficult these become. 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. You can also sub these with bar in rack rows, too!

For the bent over rows you can do them with one or two dumbbells. If you choose the single DB, you will lean over against the wall, on a bench, the back of the couch - whatever. Hold a single dumbbell/kb in one hand and let it hang from the shoulder, but pull the shoulder back. Then with the chest lifted - pull the weight to the rib cage area with the elbow going back. This isn't meant to be done fast and jerky. Control the up and then show control as you lower down.

For two dumbbells - keeping the torso position set and the chest lifted - you will pull the elbows back and bring the dumbbells to just below the chest. Keep the belly tight. Bring the dumbbells back to just below the knee with the arms straight at the bottom. No kipping or pulling your CHEST down!

For the Jump 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 jumping or skipping is out of the questions you can perform a low alternating step up or a KB/DB swing.

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 add a little assistance like a stretchy band or rope attached to a pole to come all the way up - go for it!

No sit ups or crunching right now? You may try a dead bug, slam balls or an eye level KB Swing (IF you haven't subbed swings for the jump over!!)

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

PULL UPS - For managing the pressure of the core and pelvic floor during Early Pregnancy or later on in the Rebuilding stages of PP sub: strict pull ups or banded pull ups. To avoid any coning in the belly during 2nd/3rd Trimester or Rehab stage of PP, while hanging from the bar sub: Ring Rows, Bent Over Rows, Banded Lat Pull Downs, Banded Woodchop, Banded Lat Pull Downs, DB/KB Front Raises. Kipping Pull Ups should only be added back into the later stages of Rebuilding in PP once the rehab is complete and athlete shows proficiency in strict movements.

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.

TOES TO BAR - This movement and it's 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)

WORKOUT

3 x 4 Minute AMRAPs
(As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible in 4 Minutes...3 times)

12 Front Rack Lunges
10 Alternating Hang Dumbbell Snatch
2 Wall Walks

Rest 2 Minute Between Rounds

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

RX Plus Men: 50# DBs / 3 Wall Walks
RX Plus Women: 35# DBs / 3 Wall Walks

Score: Total Combined Rounds and Additional Reps From All 3 AMRAPs
Goal: To get at least 2-3 full rounds each time, so at least 6-8 rounds total!

Set yourself up for 1:20-2:00 minute rounds. Choose a variation on the wall walk that you can complete in about 30 seconds or less each time.

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 so that your front heel is firmly planted when the back knee GENTLY touches the ground. Stand all the way up between reps and alternate legs with each lunge. So for each set of 12 you end up doing 6 on each side.

Sub with alternating weighted step ups or single leg deadlifts if you have knee issues or if it just feels better.

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 5 per arm per round.

Set up for wall walks in the bottom of a push up with feet against the wall. Walk your feet up the wall as you press to the top of a push up then back toward the wall. Keep your belly tight and do not overarch you back. Touch your chest to the wall then walk your hands out and feet down to the floor.

Don't slide or flop!

Modify by going only part of the way up or doing pike up on the box, push up + tap tap or even inchworms.

You can also do alternating single arm shoulder presses. 3 per arm per wall walk.

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 12 you end up doing 6 on each side.

Sub with alternating weighted step ups or single leg deadlifts if you have knee issues or if it just feels better.

For the hang power snatch, start with a wide grip and deadlift the bar up to the waist. Feet should be under the hips with the heels down. Arms are long and straight. Dip by bending the knees slightly and hinging at the hip slightly (keep the back flat and chest lifted). Keep the bar close to the body and let it slide down the leg. Stand up hard and fast. Shrug the shoulders (keep the bar close)! Pull the elbows high and outside (scarecrow) as you pull under the bar slightly. Catch the bar in a partial overhead squat. Stand fully to complete the rep. Lower the bar back to the waist.

Set up for wall walks in the bottom of a push up with feet against the wall. Walk your feet up the wall as you press to the top of a push up then back toward the wall.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

FRONT RACK 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.

DB SNATCH - You can always choose a lighter weight or go from the hang position. If you're not comfortable going over head right now or find that you are coning during the movement sub KB SWINGS.

WALL WALKS - Please measure risk vs. reward when considering if you can/should perform this movement. If you are unable to maintain midline stability and proper breathing mechanics throughout the duration of the entire movement please sub: Inchworms, Box/Pike Walk outs, Shoulder Taps

SHIFT WORKOUT

12 Min AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible in 12 Min)

12 Alternating Unweighted Lunges
6 Hang Dumbbell Snatch Right
6 Hang Dumbbell Snatch Left
4 Inchworms

Idea Weight for Men: Single 20-40# DB/KB
Idea Weight for Women: Single 12-20# DB/KB

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

For this workout, you'll do 12 alt. lunges, 6 hang DB snatch on each arm, and 4 inchworms for 12 minutes!

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. If you have trouble standing, try assisted lunges.

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

For the Hang DB Snatch, 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 repeat until 6 reps are complete. You will then do 6 reps on the other side.

For the inchworms you will place the hands on the ground in front of the feet. Walk them away from your hands until you are in a plank (top of a push up) position. From here, perform a push up by either going to your knees, or staying on your toes. Either way make sure that the elbows go back and that the hands are just wider than the shoulders. No flaring out!

Keep the belly tight and avoid worming. Press back up to the top of the push up, then walk the hands back to the feet and stand.

If you need to take out the push up completely - that is fine. You may also sub a push up + 10 elevated shoulder taps for 1 inchworm.

10 shoulder taps = 5 on each side

**If single leg deadlifts are a no go do 12 regular DB deadlifts per round!

Score: Total Time
Goal: 8-14 Minutes

Choose a load and jump rope variation that allows you to keep the pace between :50-1:20 per round. Stay relaxed. Focus on smooth transitions and great positions!

For the single leg deadlift you will hold a dumbbell in each hand. Shift your weight into one foot and raise the other foot off the floor behind you.

Fight not to twist. Allow a slight bend in the knee as you hinge forward at the hip and touch one head of the dumbbells to the floor. Keep the back flat and belly tight and squeeze the butt to stand up. You can always modify to a single dumbbell or even regular deadlifts if you need to.

Remember 8 reps = 4 on each leg.

Switch to a single dumbbell if you need to or do 12 regular dumbbell deadlifts per round.

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 type/number of double unders that will allow you to finish that part in less than 40 seconds each time. Consider lowering the reps to fit that time window or go with dumbbell hop overs, skip overs, or double rep single unders.

Stand all of the way up at the top. Squeeze the butt. Don't lean back.

To lower - reach the butt back and slide bar down the legs. Keep the knees out of the way. Keep the chest lifted and belly tight. Keep those heels down. Once past the knees you will re-bend the knees and bring the bar back to the starting position under control.

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!

Adjust the reps for heavier bags and choose a jump rope variation that allows you to keep the pace between :50-1:20 per round. Stay relaxed. Focus on smooth transitions and great positions!

For the sandbag over the shoulder - technique will vary slightly depending on what type of bag you have. BUT - in general you want the bag between your feet. Feet are roughly shoulder width apart with the heels down. Hinge at the hip and bend the knees enough to try and get at least your hands and part of your forearms under the bag. Lift your chest and tighten your belly. Drive through your heels as you lift the bag. Pull it in close to your body. Stand up hard and fast and roll the bag over your torso - finishing over the shoulder. USE THE POWER FROM YOUR LEGS!!!

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 type/number of double unders that will allow you to finish that part in less than 40 seconds each time. Consider lowering the reps to fit that time window or go with sandbag hop overs, skip overs, or double rep single unders.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

SINGLE LEG DEADLIFT - This can be such a great movement for mamas! Focus on good posture, breathing mechanics, and midline stability. If you're pregnant and balance is a struggle because of changes in center or gravity, feel free to sub Sumo Deadlifts or Split Stance Deadlifts.

DOUBLE/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 try scaling the number of DUs/SUs down to a number that is realistic for you to practice proper positioning and managing 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.

KB/DB DEADLIFT - If you’re pregnant and the shape of your belly is making reaching the floor difficult or if you're postpartum and managing core rehab through practice of proper posture, sub: Sumo Stance KB/DB Deadlift or elevate the DBs/KB so its not so low to the ground when you pick it up. If you are working on healing any pelvic floor dysfunction make sure you are able to breathe properly throughout the entire range of motion and that you are not bracing or bearing down.

Goal: 20-28 Minutes

32 Min Cut Off

No one station should take longer than 3 min. Choose a load and movement variations that allow you to keep moving at a steady pace!

For the bike/row, you're working with 2:00-2:30. Reduce the calories/distance as needed to fit the time window.

For the air squats - set up with feet shoulder width apart. Reach your butt back and down, with heels down, drive your knees out and keep your chest up. Get your butt below your knees at the bottom and stand all the way up at the top of each rep.

For the hang power clean you will deadlift the bar to the "hang" position at the hips with straight arms. You will have the hands just outside of the legs and the feet are under the hips. You will bend the knees and keep the heels down. Allow a slight hinge at the hips. Keep the arms straight and the bar close to the body. Stand up hard and fast. Shrug the shoulders. Pull the elbows high and outside to keep the bar close as you pull yourself down under it. Shoot the elbows around and through FAST to allow the bar to land on the shoulders with the elbows high. You will catch in a partial front squat with the heels down, knees out, chest up. Stand to complete the rep and then lower the bar back to the hips for the next rep.

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!

Set up for the push press with the bar on your shoulders and elbows high. Feet hip to shoulder width apart. Chest up, belly tight. Keep your heels down, let your knees track forward as you dip your hip. Chest stays lifted. Stand up fast. As the bar pops up off the shoulders, press straight up to lock out.

Finish standing tall, arms straight, biceps by the ears. Squeeze your butt and keep your belly tight.

40 Min Cut Off - OUCH!

No one station should take longer than 4 min. Choose a load and movement variations that allow you to keep moving at a steady pace! If you are short on time, cut it off after the second 400m run.

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 for any reason - 2 min jump rope, low step ups, or toe taps to a low target.

For the air squats - set up with feet shoulder width apart. Reach your butt back and down, with heels down, drive your knees out and keep your chest up. Get your butt below your knees at the bottom and stand all the way up at the top of each rep.

For the hang power clean, deadlift the bar to the "hang" position at the hips with straight arms. Position hands just outside of the legs and feet under the hips. Bend the knees and keep the heels down. Allow a slight hinge at the hips. Keep the arms straight and the bar close to the body. Stand up hard and fast. Shrug the shoulders. Pull the elbows high and outside to keep the bar close as you pull yourself down under it.

Shoot the elbows around and through FAST to allow the bar to land on the shoulders with the elbows high. You will catch in a partial front squat with the heels down, knees out, chest up. Stand to complete the rep then lower the bar back to the hips for the next rep.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

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.

HANG POWER CLEAN - 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.

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

JERK/PRESS - Focus on proper alignment of your pelvis and spine. If you find yourself over extending in your back or coning in your belly sub less weight, Strict Press, Seated Strict Press, or even Front Raises.

AIR SQUATS - If you have a hard time maintaining control and a stable midline in the bottom of the squat or if you find yourself bearing down to get out of the bottom, try subbing a target or assisted squat to shorten the range of motion. A box squat is always a great idea especially during pregnancy to strengthen the posterior chain and balance out the growing belly.
