COACHES NOTES
If you are unable to run for space or weather reasons - you may choose to do the following instead:

3 Rounds
20 Alternating Dumbbell Snatch
1 Min Taps, Single/Double Unders, Low Step Ups
10 Dumbbell Clean and Jerks

You're shooting for the Snatches and the Clean & Jerks to take 3-5 minutes EACH (6-10 minutes total). Choose a weight that you know will allow you to stay within that 5-minute window. Break up the reps however you need to to maintain proper form - and again - to stay within the goal time. The run section should take between 3:30-5:00 so shorten the distance if you need to!

DUMBBELL POWER SNATCH
The dumbbell will start on the ground, feet on either side about shoulder width apart. Hinge at the hips and a bend at the knee. Chest stays lifted, arm straight and back flat. To lift drive the heels down and lift the chest. Once past the knees think - jump - shrug - pull the elbow high and outside (to keep the dumbbell close) - pull under the dumbbell slightly as you punch to lock out with the bicep by the ear. In the catch the heels are down, knees out, chest up. Stand to finish. Alternate hands with each rep. So for each set of 8 you end up doing 4 per side.

Start with dumbbells on the gorund just outside of the feet. Hinge at the hips, bend the knees slightly but keep the chest lifted and back flat. Arms are long and straight.

Lift the weight by digging the heels into the ground as you lift the chest. Once past the knees, pick up speed, jump and shrug the shoulders. Keep the dumbbells close to the body as they travel UP - try to avoid a massive bicep curl!

Pull yourself down and under as your elbows spin forward and up FAST. Catch the dumbbells on the shoulders in a partial squat with the elbows in front. Make sure heels are down and knees are out.

Feed this partial dip position into the jerk. Stand up hard and fast to pop the weight off the shoulders - press the dumbbells up as you press yourself back down. Lock out over your head with the biceps by the ears and the belly tight in a partial squat position.

Make sure the heels are down and knees are out. Stand to finish!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

Run/Jog

To manage or 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.

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.

Jerk

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.

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.

WARM UP
FULL BODY DYNAMIC WARM UP

WORKOUT

6 Rounds

Each Round is on a 2:30 Clock

30 Dumbbell Hop Overs
15 Wall Balls
Max Reps Push Up + Pull Across

Rest 30 Seconds Between Rounds

Suggested Weight Men: 40-50# DB / 18-20# Ball
Suggested Weight Women: 25-35# DB / 13-15# Ball

Extra Challenge Men: 40 Hop Overs / 20 Wall Balls (Same Goal Reps)
Extra Challenge Women: 40 Hop Overs / 20 Wall Balls (Same Goal Reps)

Score: Total Push Up + Pull Across Reps ONLY

Goal: 70-110 Reps

COACHES NOTES
The hop overs should take less than 30 seconds. The wall balls will take :30-1:00. That gives you 1:00-1:30 for the push up + pull across. The goal is to get 12-18 reps per round, choose a weight that allows you to do so. To clarify, a new round starts every 3 minutes. Each round is 2:30, giving you 30 seconds to rest between rounds:

0:00-2:30 - Work
2:30-3:00 - Rest
3:00 - 5:30 - Work
5:30-6:00 - Rest
6:00-8:30 - Work
8:30-9:00 Rest
9:00-11:30 - Work
11:30-12:00 - Rest
12:00-14:30 Work
14:30-15:00 Rest
15:00-17:30 Work

Choose a wall ball weight (if possible) or target height that allows you to complete 15 reps in 1-2 sets.

DB 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 shuffle instead for your knees, go for it.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Skip Overs
Line Hops
Double Unders

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.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Lower Target Height
Single DB Thruster
Empty Barbell Thruster

PUSH UP + PULL ACROSS
You will start in a plank position with your dumbbell just to the outside your right hand. First you will do a push up, then with your left hand you will reach under and across and drag the dumbbell to the left side of your body. Keep the belly tight and butt down. Do another push up then reach under and across with your right hand and drag the dumbbell back to the right side of your body. If you can't quite get the DB all the way across, do a little plank side step so you can start the next pull in a good position. One push up + one pull across = 1 rep.

SANDBAG GENERAL WARM UP

WORKOUT

6 Rounds

Each Round is on a 2:30 Clock

30 Sandbag Hop Overs
15 Sandbag Thrusters
Max Reps Push Up + Lateral Drag

Rest 30 Seconds Between Rounds

Suggested Weight Men: 50-70# Sandbag
Suggested Weight Women: 25-45# Sandbag

Score: Total Push Up + Later Drag Reps ONLY

Goal: 54-90 Reps

COACHES NOTES
The hop overs should take less than 30 seconds. The thrusters will take :45-1:15. That gives you :45-1:15 for the push up + lateral drag. The goal is to get 6-10 reps per round, choose a weight that allows you to do so. To clarify, a new round starts every 3 minutes. Each round is 2:30, giving you 30 seconds to rest between rounds:

0:00-2:30 - Work
2:30-3:00 - Rest
3:00 - 5:30 - Work
5:30-6:00 - Rest
6:00-8:30 - Work
8:30-9:00 Rest
9:00-11:30 - Work
11:30-12:00 - Rest
12:00-14:30 Work
14:30-15:00 Rest
15:00-17:30 Work

Note that the goal reps for this workout are lower for this version as the push up + lateral drag is likely more challenging that with the dumbbell. If you are working with a heavier bag, reduce the reps to something that you can get in that :45-1:15 window for the whole workout. You can also mix and match if you have the equipment, and do wall balls instead of thrusters.

SANDBAG HOP OVERS
Stand next to your bag and hop laterally over the narrow side. You may also do a lateral shuffle. Think fast toe taps on the bag as you step laterally on and over to the other side.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Sandbag Shuffle
Skip Overs

SANDBAG THRUSTER
The sandbag will be on the biceps with the elbows high. Feet under shoulders, heels down. You will reach the butt back and down and get to the bottom of the squat with the sandbag on the biceps and keeping the elbows high. Stand hard and fast to pop the sandbag off of the body. Move the face out of the way and press the sandbag straight up. Keep belly tight and finish locked out overhead.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Adjust reps to fit movement time window
Side to Side Thruster

PUSH UP + LATERAL DRAG
Start in a plank position with your bag just to the outside your right hand. First you will do a push up, then with your left hand, reach under and across and drag the bag to the left side of your body.

Keep the belly tight and butt down. Do another push up then reach under and across with your right hand and drag the bag back to the right side of your body. If you can't quite get the bag all the way across a little plank side step so you can start the next pull in a good position. One push up + one drag = 1 rep.

Extra Challenge Men: 50# DBs
Extra Challenge Women: 35# DBs

Score: Total Time

Goal: 13-18 Minutes

COACHES NOTES
The goal would be to stay in the range of 1:30-2:15 per round for this one. Choose a load you can complete the lunges in 1-2 sets the whole way. It is a lot of lunges so choose wisely and know that they will definitely make the box jump overs quite challenging as you approach those last few rounds. Stay focused on the box and pick up your feet. Try to find a smooth pace on the box jump overs that doesn't involve a lot of stopping and starting.

FRONT RACK LUNGES
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 16 you end up doing 8 on each side.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Goblet Lunges
Alternating Weighted Step Ups
Single Leg Deadlifts

BOX JUMP OVER
Choose a height that you are comfortable jumping to and stepping down from. Facing the box with feet about hip width apart, swing the arms up as you jump to the box. Land with both feet all the way on 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!

COACHES NOTES
The goal would be to stay in the range of 1:30-2:15 per round for this one. The lunges should take :40-1:00. You may need to adjust the reps to fit that window if you are working with a heavier bag.

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.

Box Jump

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.

Jump/Skip/Hop Overs

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

Goal: 12-18 Minutes

COACHES NOTES
This version has 110 squat clean thrusters in it so make sure you are taking the time to do them properly and pace accordingly. Choose a load that you could definitely do 20 unbroken reps of if you wanted to. In the workout however, probably a good idea to break up those first few rounds into 2-3 sets. If the first 20 squat clean thrusters takes longer than 2:30, lower the weight or customize so you can take less breaks or shorter breaks. Know that after the round of 16 squat clean thrusters, you are about halfway done with them! Choose a burpee variation that you can do 6 reps in less than :40 each time.

SINGLE ARM DB SQUAT CLEAN THRUSTER
Start with the dumbbell on the ground between your feet. Hinge at the hips but keep the chest lifted and back flat. There should also be a bend in the knees, but not so much you are squatting. Your arm should be straight as you grip the dumbbell.

Lift the weight by digging the heels into the ground and lifting the chest. Once past the knees you will pick up speed and jump and shrug the shoulders! Keep the dumbbell close to the body as it travels UP - try to avoid a massive bicep curl! Pull yourself down and under catching the dumbbell on one shoulder in the bottom of the squat with the elbow high. Make sure the heels are down and knees are out.

From there you will perform a single arm thruster which is standing from the squat and accelerating as you go up so that you use the drive from the legs to aide in a press overhead.

For this movement, keep the chest up and heels down/knees out in the squat. Use the legs to drive up and finish with the bicep next to the ears and elbow completely locked out.

After completion of the press, all you have to do is bring the dumbbell back down to the ground, switch hands and repeat!

COACHES NOTES
Break up the reps on the squat clean thrusters early. Think something like 6-5-5, 5-5-4, and 4-4-4 for the first three rounds. Break it up into 2 sets for the next few rounds. Hold on for the last 2! When you finish the round of 12, you'll be well over half way done. If at that point, the clock is past 10 minutes, lower the weight or customize another way. Choose a variation on the burpee that you can complete 9 reps in a minute or less each time.

BARBELL CLUSTER (SQUAT CLEAN THRUSTER)
You will start with the bar on the ground. Hands will be outside the legs with about a hip width stance with the feet!

You will have a slight bend in the knee, heels down, arms straight, bar close to the body, chest up.

Stand keeping the arms long and bar close to the body. Drive through the heels and pick up speed after you pass the knees. Almost jump with the bar as you shrug the shoulders, and pull yourself underneath as the elbows shoot through and the bar lands on the shoulder. You will land in the bottom of the squat with the elbows high. Knees are out, heels are down, chest is up. Feet are now about shoulder width apart.

Stand fast out of the squat driving through the heels and pop the weight off of the shoulder. Move your face out of the way as you press the bar up, drive the head through as you press out to finish with the bar completely locked out and over the middle of your body. Keep the ribcage pulled down and belly tight!

Start with the sandbag on the ground. You will have a slight bend in the knee, heels down, arms straight, sandbag close to the feet, chest up.

Stand keeping the arms long and sandbag close to the body. Drive through the heels and pick up speed after you pass the knees. Almost jump with the sandbag as you shrug the shoulders, and pull yourself underneath as the elbows shoot through and the sandbag lands on the biceps. You will land in the bottom of the squat with the elbows high. Knees are out, heels are down, chest is up. Feet are now about shoulder width apart.

Stand fast out of the squat driving through the heels and pop the weight off of the biceps.

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.

DB/Back/Front/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.

Thruster/Wallball

To focus on managing proper posture, breathing mechanics, core pressurization, and/or joint stability, sub: DB/WB Thruster, Lower Target Wall Ball Toss, Box/Target Supported Squat for Wall Ball, DB Goblet Squat + Press, or Air Squat

Burpee

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

COACHES NOTES
Make sure you warm up those shoulders a lot today, there is a lot of pulling and pushing in this one. The goal for each part is to complete a round every :50-1:20. Choose a variation on the pull up, you can complete 7 reps in 1-2 sets the whole way through. Choose a load on the push presses you can go unbroken most, if not all the way. Try not to sprint out of the gate on this one, the shoulders fatigue fast so it's better to pick a smooth pace that won't drop off too much by the end.

Break up the toes to bar early. Your grip will be affected by part 1 and by the kettlebell swings. Choose a variation that you can complete 7 reps in under :40 the whole time. Dig deep and hold on during the swings, they should be unbroken the whole way!

PULL UPS
You have the option of strict, kipping, butterfly pull ups, or choose one of the customizations below. Grip the bar a little wider than shoulder width. Fire up the lats by drawing the shoulders down away from the ears. Keep the belly tight. 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! If you choose to use a band, stay in control and avoid the bounce out of the bottom.

COACHES NOTES
Glory Days Option! Make sure you warm up those shoulders a lot today, there is a lot of pulling and pushing in this one. The goal for each part is to complete a round every :50-1:20. The muscle ups should take no more than :45 every time. Choose a load on the push presses you can go unbroken most, if not all the way. If you go with handstand push ups, depending on your proficiency, you might want to break them up early. They shouldn't take more than :40 seconds each time, 1-2 sets is ideal. Try not to sprint out of the gate on this one, the shoulders fatigue fast so it's better to pick a smooth pace that won't drop off too much by the end.

Break up the toes to bar early. Your grip will be affected by part 1 and by the kettlebell swings. Choose a variation that you can complete 7 reps in under :40 the whole time. Dig deep and hold on during the swings, they should be unbroken the whole way!

MUSCLE UP
This 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. If you want to use this as an opportunity to practice, check out one of the customizations below and focus on the fast transition over the bar or rings out of the pull up into the bottom of the dip.

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, Barbell Pull Ups 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.

Overhead 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.

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, DB Windmills, Overhead Plate Hold/March, Pallof Press, Banded/Wallball Woodchop, Standing Cross Body Wallball Throws, Side Plank Step Throughs, Heel Taps, Goblet Hold/Squat, or Waiter Walks. See MAMA MODS MOVEMENT LIBRARY FOR DEMOS.

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.

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, DB Windmill, Palloff Press, Banded/Wallball Woodchop, Standing Cross Body Wallball Throws, Goblet Hold/Squat, Waiter Walk (SEE MAMA MODS MOVEMENT LIBRARY FOR DEMOS)

COACHES NOTES
Choose a weight on the snatches that you can definitely do unbroken when fresh and shoot to break no more than once per round through the entire workout. You're shooting for the first part (2-round section) and the last part (4-round section) to each take around 3-5 minutes to complete. The middle part (3-round section) has a few more total reps than the others so that one should be closer to 4-6 minutes. If the first part takes you longer than 5 minutes, consider lightening the load on the snatches or reducing the reps of both movements in the following parts.

If hopping laterally with both feet is sketchy, you can always do a little skip over or do hops over a line. You CAN customize to double unders if you're feeling it but for those who are proficient at double unders, we find the hop overs offers more opportunity to improve fitness!

DUMBBELL POWER SNATCH
The dumbbell will start on the ground, feet on either side about shoulder width apart. Hinge at the hips and a bend at the knee. Chest stays lifted, arm straight and back flat. To lift drive the heels down and lift the chest. Once past the knees think - jump - shrug - pull the elbow high and outside (to keep the dumbbell close) - pull under the dumbbell slightly as you punch to lock out with the bicep by the ear. In the catch the heels are down, knees out, chest up. Stand to finish. Alternate hands with each rep. So every time you bring the dumbbell from the ground to over your head is 1 rep toward your total.

COACHES NOTES
Choose a weight on the ground to overhead that you can get 15 reps done in 1 minute or less. Consider reducing the reps in each section if you're struggling to complete 1 ground to overhead every 3-4 seconds. You're shooting for the first part (2-round section) and the last part (4-round section) to each take around 3-5 minutes to complete. The middle part (3-round section) has a few more total reps than the others so that one should be closer to 4-6 minutes. If the first part takes you longer than 5 minutes and you've already reduced the ground to overhead reps, customize or reduce the hop overs, as well.

If hopping laterally with both feet is sketchy, you can always do a little skip over or do hops over a line. You CAN customize to double unders if you're feeling it but for those who are proficient at double unders, we find the hop overs offers more opportunity to improve fitness!

SANDBAG GROUND TO OVERHEAD
Grab hold of the overhand or neutral 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.

The way this one works is Partner 1 will start on the 65 DB snatches while Partner 2 waits. At 30 seconds, Partner 1 will rest and Partner 2 will pick up where they left off. So if Partner 1 did 14 DB snatches, Partner 2 will start at rep 15. At 1:00, they'll switch again. Continue in this format until you've completed 4 rounds of 65 snatches and 130 hop overs.

Choose a weight for the DB snatches that you can complete unbroken reps for 30 seconds at least for the first half of the workout. Shoot to break no more than once in the later parts of the workout.

If hopping laterally with both feet is sketchy, you can always do a little skip over or do hops over a line. You CAN customize to double unders if you're feeling it but for those who are proficient at double unders, we find the hop overs offers more opportunity to improve fitness!

DUMBBELL POWER SNATCH
The dumbbell will start on the ground, feet on either side about shoulder width apart. Hinge at the hips and a bend at the knee. Chest stays lifted, arm straight and back flat. To lift drive the heels down and lift the chest. Once past the knees think - jump - shrug - pull the elbow high and outside (to keep the dumbbell close) - pull under the dumbbell slightly as you punch to lock out with the bicep by the ear. In the catch the heels are down, knees out, chest up. Stand to finish. Alternate hands with each rep. So every time you bring the dumbbell from the ground to over your head is 1 rep toward your total.

DB 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 shuffle instead for your knees, go for it.
