PROGRAM A

WARM UP
Full Body Simple Warm Up
Squat Warm Up

WORKOUT

Street Parking Vault: Dumbbell "VEINTICINCO"

25 MIN AMRAP
(AS MANY ROUNDS AND REPS AS POSSIBLE IN 25 MIN)


10 DEVIL PRESS
20 AIR SQUATS
30 DUMBBELL HOP OVERS

RX MEN: 40# DBs
RX Women: 25# DBs

RX+: Do more rounds

** We don't feel there is a need to do this heavier. Swapping double unders IS allowed, but this is written
with hop overs on purpose

Score: Total number of completed rounds + any additional reps

Goal: 7-10 Rounds

This is a 25 minute grind, so try to set a pace at the beginning you can stay pretty close to maintaining throughout. You are shooting for about a round every 2:30-3:30.

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!

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 hop over, stand next to one dumbbell and hop laterally over the narrow side, then hop back. Each hop is one rep.

Ideally this is 2 feet hopping and landing together, but if you need to do a little skip/shuffle instead for your knees, go for it.

You can even do a line hop over a pvc or imaginary line. And, if you're not comfortable jumping sideways, try plate hops or forward line hops!

WORKOUT

Street Parking Vault: Sandbag "VEINTICINCO"

25 MIN AMRAP
(AS MANY ROUNDS AND REPS AS POSSIBLE IN 25 MIN)


10 SANDBAG BURPEES
20 AIR SQUATS
30 DUMBBELL HOP OVERS /
SANDBAG SKIP OVERS

IDEA SANDBAG WEIGHTS:
MEN: 50-70#
WOMEN: 25-45#

RX+: Do more rounds

Score: Total number of completed rounds + any additional reps

Goal: 7-10 Rounds

This is a 25 minute grind, so try to set a pace at the beginning you can stay pretty close to maintaining throughout. You are shooting for about a round every 2:30-3:30.

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!

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 hop over, stand next to one dumbbell and hop laterally over the narrow side, then hop back. Each hop is one rep.

Ideally this is 2 feet hopping and landing together, but if you need to do a little skip/shuffle instead for your knees, go for it.

If jumping over your sandbag, you can do a skip over.

You can even do a line hop over a pvc or imaginary line. And, if you're not comfortable jumping sideways, try plate hops or forward line hops!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

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 or sub an Elevated Devil Press. 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!

AIR SQUAT - 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.

JUMP/SKIP OVERS - To manage the added pressure to the pelvic floor that the impact from jumping and hopping can create, sub: Skip Overs, Row, Bike, Farmer Carry,Taps, Quick Step Ups,Sled Push/Drag.

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, Bear Pose Burpee, Table Top (all fours position) + Air Squat, Ball Slams, KB Swings, Farmer/Goblet march, Glute Bridges, Sumo Deadlift High Pull

WARM UP
Running Warm Up
Dumbbell Clean Warm Up

WORKOUT

4 Rounds

Each Round is:

20 Dumbbell Hang Power Cleans
Run 200 Meters
20 Dumbbell Step Up Overs
Run 200 Meters

Rest 1 Min Between Rounds

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

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

**Can also use your sandbag with this version.

Score: Slowest Round ONLY

Goal: 4-6 Min

Choose a load on the hang cleans that allows for minimal breaks. At most 3 sets each time. Try to keep your breaks short. Step up overs should take about a minute.

For the DB hang power clean, deadlift the DBs to the "hang" position at the hips with straight arms and hands just outside of the legs. Feet are under the hips. Bend the knees, keep the heels down, and slightly hinge at the hips.

Keep the arms straight. 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 shoulders with the elbows high.

Catch in a partial front squat with the heels down, knees out, chest up. Stand to complete the rep, then lower the weight back to the hips for the next rep.

For the 200m run, you're working with a minute or less. Shorten the distance as needed to fit the time window. If unable to run due to space or weather purposes - 1 min double/single unders, low step ups, Mtn Climbers or toe taps to a low target.

For these step up and overs 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. You may step off of the front if you are comfortable or turn around on top of the box and step off that way.

For the box height roughly 24" for fellas and 20" for ladies. If you don't have a box, use a bench, if you don't have a bench, you can step up on to a stair as you would a normal step up or use a stack of plates.

Nothing to step on at all? Sub lunges!

Feel free to lower the weight all of the way down to nothing if you need to!

Barbell Clean Warm Up

WORKOUT

4 Rounds

Each Round is:

20 Barbell Hang Power Cleans
Run 200 Meters
20 Dumbbell Step Up Overs / Barbell Step Ups
Run 200 Meters

Rest 1 Min Between Rounds

RX Men: 75#-95#
RX Women: 55-65#

RX+ Men: 115#+
RX+ Women: 75#+

Score: Slowest Round ONLY

Goal: 4-6 Min

Choose a load on the hang cleans that allows for minimal breaks. At most 3 sets each time. Try to keep your breaks short. Step ups/overs should take about a minute.

Remember you can mix and match equipment with this one. Barbell is step up only, not over!

For the hang power clean, deadlift the bar to the "hang" position at the hips with straight arms. Hands just outside of the legs and feet are under the hips. Bend the knees and keep your 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. Land 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.

For the 200m run, you're working with a minute or less. Shorten the distance as needed to fit the time window. If unable to run due to space or weather purposes - 1 min double/single unders, low step ups, Mtn Climbers or toe taps to a low target.

For the step ups you will have the barbell on your back. Height for step up should be 22-24" for Men and 18-20" for women. If you can make that happen and it is a safe and challenging but comfortable height for you - go for it! Otherwise, lower the height of the box or switch to lunges.

Place your WHOLE foot on the box when stepping up. Make sure you drive through the heel and stand all of the way up - don't allow your knee to cave in as you stand. Alternate feet at the BOTTOM of each step. Each time you step up counts as 1 rep. So for a set of 20 you end up doing 10 per side.

Note that you could also use your sandbag for these or do DB Step Up OVERS like in Program A.

Modify to back rack lunges if those feel better.

For these step up and overs 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. You may step off of the front if you are comfortable or turn around on top of the box and step off that way.

Feel free to lower the weight all of the way down to nothing if you need to!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

POWER CLEAN - You could 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.

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 an Outside KB Swing or a Single Arm Swing.

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, High Knee Step Overs, Elevated 1 Legged Plank Rock. 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.

STEP UPS/DB STEP UP OVERS - 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

Customize with elevated burpees or a no-push-up variation.

For the squats, all the way down to where the butt is below the knees. All the way standing at the top!

7 Rounds

15 KB/DB Swings
10 Box Jump Overs

RX Men: 40-55# KB/DB
RX Women: 25-35# KB/DB

Score: Total Time

Goal: 12-17 Min

Each round should take 1:45-2:25. That's about 30-45 seconds per movement not accounting for transitions between movements. Choose a load on the swings you could go unbroken at least for the first 3-4 rounds.

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 take about 45 seconds. Consider lowering the reps to fit that time window or go with mountain climbers, dumbbell hop overs, skip overs, or double rep single unders.

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

If you are newer to this movement, or if it feels more comfortable, just swing to about eye level.

For the box jump overs, choose a height that you are comfortable with and you can complete the 10 reps in roughly 30 seconds. 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!

WORKOUT

200 KB Swings
150 Box Jump Overs

Every time you want to switch:

BOTH partners must do 20 Double Unders/DB Hop Overs or Mountain Climbers

RX Men: 40-55# KB/DB
RX Women: 25-35# KB/DB

**Could also do this with Barbell (100 Hang Power Snatch) or Sandbag (150 Hang to Overhead)

Score: Total Time

Goal: 15-20 Min

Only one person works at a time on the swings and box jump overs. Switch back and forth on the swings until you've reached a combined 200 reps, then move on to the box jump overs. Remember that every time you switch, both partners will complete 20 double unders, hop overs or mountain climbers.

Choose a load you could do at least 15 swings at a time.

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

If you are newer to this movement, or if it feels more comfortable, just swing to about eye level.

For the box jump overs, choose a height that you are comfortable with keeping a steady pace for at least 10-15 reps at a time. 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!

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 version, the double unders should take no more than 30 seconds. Consider lowering the reps to fit that time window or go with mountain climbers, dumbbell hop overs, skip overs, or double rep single unders.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

DOUBLE/SINGLE UNDERS - To avoid the added pressure to the pelvic floor that DUs/SUs can create, sub: Taps, Row, Bike, Quick Step Ups, One Legged Plank Rock, High Knee Step Up Overs, or 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.

MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS - If you notice any coning in the plank position or feel pressure in your belly or pelvic floor during this movement you can sub Elevated Mountain Climbers, Side Plank Step Throughs, Reverse Plank Step In/Out, High Knee Step Up Overs, Heel Taps

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 an Outside KB Swing or a Single Arm Swing.

BOX JUMP/JUMP/SKIP OVERS - This is going to be all about managing the impact and pressure to your core and pelvic floor. If you feel any heaviness or pain in the pelvic floor or surrounding areas (i.e. tailbone, lower back, pubic symphysis) or if you notice symptoms like leaking pee, please consider adapting your approach or modifying the movement. 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.
