MAMA MODIFICATIONS

Power Clean

Having to move the bar out and around your belly can add a lot of extra strain to the lower back, so we recommend using dumbbells instead of the barbell during the later stages of pregnancy or as your belly grows and you're no longer able to keep the bar moving in a straight line. It may also be more comfortable to start from the hang position or to adjust your stance slightly.

Jerk

If you’re trying to manage the pressure on your core and pelvic floor during this movement, you can start by simply doing something different with the way you’re breathing or how you’re holding tension in your body throughout this movement. If you feel like you need or want to customize further but still want to practice, you can try less reps or less weight. Some other options for customizing are Strict Press, Seated Strict Press, or even Front Raises.. Please visit the Mama Modifications Movement Library for more options and demonstrations.

Thruster/Wallball

If you're trying to manage the pressure on your core and pelvic floor, you can start by simply doing something different with the way you’re breathing or how you’re holding tension in your body throughout the movement. If you feel like you need or want to customize further you can minimize some the demand by shortening the range of motion or using a target for your squats. Another option for customizing is separating the movement into a goblet squat and a strict press. Please visit the Mama Modifications Movement Library for more options and demonstrations.

DB/Back/Front/Goblet/Air Squat

If you're trying to manage the pressure on your core and pelvic floor, you can start by simply doing something different with the way you’re breathing or how you’re holding tension in your body throughout the movement. If you feel like you need or want to customize further you can minimize some the demand by shortening the range of motion, using a target, or holding on to something for assistance. Another option for customizing is a Box Squat which can be especially helpful for building posterior chain strength. Please visit the Mama Modifications Movement Library for more options and demonstrations.

Shoulder Press

If you’re trying to manage the pressure on your core and pelvic floor during this movement, you can start by simply doing something different with the way you’re breathing or how you’re holding tension in your body throughout this movement. If you feel like you need or want to customize further but still want to practice, you can try less reps or less weight. Some other options for customizing are Seated Shoulder Press or Front Raises..

Run/Jog

If you're trying to manage the pressure on your pelvic floor, you can start by simply doing something different with the way you’re breathing or how you’re holding tension in your body throughout the movement. You can also shorten the distance, lower the speed, or reduce the overall intensity to the point that you feel is still within your current threshold. Check out the SP Mamas Resources blog post on Urinary Leakage with Exercise Troubleshooting for more information and strategies. Some other options for customizing are Taps, Row, Bike, Quick Step Ups, One Legged Plank Rock, High Knee Step Up Overs, or Calf Raises. Please visit the Mama Modifications Movement Library for more options and demonstrations.

Toes to Bar

If you’re trying to manage the pressure on your core and pelvic floor during this movement, you can start by simply doing something different with the way you’re breathing or how you’re holding tension in your body. If you feel like you need or want to customize further but still want to practice, you can try less reps, less range of motion like knee raises, or lying leg lifts. Some other options for customizing are Functional Progression 1, DB Windmills, or KB Swings. Please visit the Mama Modifications Movement Library for more options and demonstrations.

Lunge/Weighted Lunge

If you're managing pubic symphysis or SI joint pain try focus on keeping your pelvis neutral and your hips level. Adjusting how your breathe, your posture, and where you're holding tension in your body throughout the movement may help as well. If you feel like you need or want to customize further but still want to practice, you can try less reps, less range of motion, or stepping laterally onto something. Some other options for customizing are goblet squat, glute bridge, or split squats. Please visit the Mama Modifications Movement Library for more options and demonstrations.

Sit Up

If you’re trying to manage the pressure on your core and pelvic floor during this movement, you can start by simply doing something different with the way you’re breathing or how you’re holding tension in your body. If you feel like you need or want to customize further but still want to practice, you can try less reps, less range of motion, banded or foot assisted. Some other options for customizing are Functional Progression 1, DB Windmills, or KB Swings. Please visit the Mama Modifications Movement Library for more options and demonstrations.

PROGRAM A

WARM UP

WORKOUT

5 Rounds

25 Kettlebell Overhead Swings
15 Box Jump Overs

Suggested Weight
Men: 40-55# KB/DB / 22-24" Box
Women: 25-35# KB/DB / 18-20" Box

Extra Challenge
2 Options:
Men/Women: Increase Reps to 30/20
OR
Men/Women: Use a heavier KB/DB and higher box keeping the reps at 25/15

Score: Total Time
Goal: 12-18 Minutes

Simple and effective couplet today. This is a great combination of movements that both require an explosive hip action. We are shooting for 2:30-3:30 per round. So, choose a weight and variation on the swing that you can complete 25 reps in 1-3 sets the whole way. They should take less than 1:30. For the box jump overs, try to step down off the box so that your feet are set up to go right into the next rep. These should take about a minute to complete. Remember that because the swings are going to wear on your hip extension, you may need to be a bit more aggressive on the jumps. If you think you'll just crush the goal time for this one, consider going with one of the extra challenge options today.

KB Swing

If you're trying to manage the pressure on your core and pelvic floor, you can start by simply doing something different with the way you’re breathing or how you’re holding tension in your body throughout the movement. If you feel like you need or want to customize further you can minimize some the demand by shortening the range of motion to an eye level swing or using a lighter weight. Some other options for customizing are single arm swings, KB Deadlift, or Sumo Stance Deadlift. Please visit the Mama Modifications Movement Library for more options and demonstrations.

Box Jump

If you’re trying to manage the pressure on your pelvic floor during this movement, you can start by simply doing something different with the way you’re breathing or how you’re holding tension in your body on the take off or landing. Check out the SP Mamas Resources blog post on Urinary Leakage with Exercise Troubleshooting for more strategies. If you feel like you need or want to customize further but still want to practice jumping and landing with two feet you could try doing fewer reps or use a lower height box or step or even use an imaginary line. Some other options for customizing are Step Ups, Box Squats, or KB Swings for minimal impact. Please visit the Mama Modifications Movement Library for more options and demonstrations.

Score:
Round 1 Time
Round 2 Time
Round 3 Time

Goal: 7-10 Minutes

A good amount of running today. Make sure you warm up thoroughly. Each round should take 7:00-10:00 but expect that round 1 is going to be a bit faster than round 3. Chances are, you will have to break up one or more movements as the workout progresses. The runs should take 2:00-2:30 each time. Choose a variation on the pull ups that you can complete them in 1-3 sets the whole way. If you are breaking into multiple sets, keep the breaks short - they should take a minute or less each time.

Break up the push ups early. We don't want them to completely fall apart at the end. Make sure you can do at least 6 reps at a time the whole way. For the wall balls, your arms are going to be fatigued from the preceding upper body movements so put a little more explosiveness in the hips coming up out of the squat. Then, use the first 20-30 seconds of the last run to shake out the legs before you pick up the pace and get a little (or a lot) uncomfortable. Go with a weight or target height that allows you to complete the wall balls in under 2 minutes - think 1-3 sets.

This is a VERSION of a workout we have done on the last day of the year for the past few years. The original version is BRUTAL - and this one is a little more realistic. But, will put the original version in Coaches Notes if you REALLY want to give it a go (or a re-test).

Keeping with the theme of 12 for this though - to represent the last 12 months! Happy final day of 2021!

Final workout of the year y'all! Let's put a bow on 2021 with this one. You will definitely have to keep moving to stay within the goal range today. Set yourself up with weight and movement customizations that you won't have to be breaking up a lot. We are shooting for roughly a round a minute.

For the snatches, go with a weight that you can go unbroken for at least the first 8 rounds, if not the whole way. These should take around 30 seconds. Ideally the farmer steps are also unbroken. Consider also, breaking them into 2 quick sets from the beginning to avoid lighting that fire in your legs until later on in the workout. Make sure you check out the customizations if you are unable to perform step ups today.

DB Snatch

If you're uncomfortable with the overhead position or are trying to manage the demand on your core, you can start by simply doing something different with the way you’re breathing or how you’re holding tension in your body throughout the movement. If you feel like you need or want to customize further you can minimize some the demand by lowering the amount of weight used or repetitions done. Another good option for customizing would be an eye level KB/DB swing. Please visit the Mama Modifications Movement Library for more options and demonstrations.

Step Ups/Weighted Step Ups

This can be a great movement to help build strength and stability to return to running postpartum! If you have any pubic symphysis pain or SPD you may want to modify to something that allows you to move pain free. Try to focus on keeping your pelvis neutral and your hips level. You can always adjust the height, load, or how you're carrying it. Some other options for customizing are lateral step up, single leg glute bridge, or single leg box squat for more support. Please visit the Mama Modifications Movement Library for more options and demonstrations.

Coaches Notes
Wow! What a way to kick off 2022. You're looking to finish each round in1:30-2:00. It's likely that your first few rounds will be quicker than that but over 12 rounds, your pace is bound to slow down a bit. For the plank pull across, really focus on keeping your hips down as you reach across your chest. It helps if you squeeze your butt and quads. Each rep counts toward the 12 so you're doing 6 on both sides. Choose a weight for the hang power cleans that you can do unbroken for at least the first half of the workout and then at most, break once. Find a steady pace on the squats so that you aren't starting/stopping a ton. You should be getting those done in around a minute or less - definitely no longer than 1:15.

It's likely that your first few rounds will be quicker than that but over 12 rounds, your pace is bound to slow down a bit. For the plank lateral drags, it helps if you lift up on the side of the bag that you grab so that there's less friction holding the bag "back." Each rep counts toward the 12 so you're doing 6 on both sides. The hang power cleans should take 25-40 seconds. If the 12 reps are taking you much longer than that, consider reducing the reps.

100 Plank Pull Across (Combined)
100 Dumbbell Hang Power Clean (Combined)
200 Air Squat (Combined)

**One person works at a time throughout.

**This version can also be done with sandbag or barbell as seen in Programs B/C.

Score: Total Time
Goal: 25-30 Minutes

Coaches Notes
Wow! What a way to kick off 2022. So while one person works, the other person rests. Make sure that each time it's your turn to work, you are pushing the pace since you get rest throughout the workout while your partner works. For both the plank pull across and the hang cleans, you and your partner should be working to get each of those 100 reps done in 2:30-3:00. Be sure to choose weight(s) and/or customizations that allows for that pace. Each plank pull across rep counts toward the total. So right arm = 1, left arm = 2, right arm = 3, so on and so on. On the air squats, you're shooting to finish the 200 reps in 4:30-6:00. That means knocking out 35-45 squats per minute.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

Plank Hold

If you’re trying to manage the pressure on your core and pelvic floor during this movement, you can start by simply doing something different with the way you’re breathing or how you’re holding tension in your body. If you feel like you need or want to customize further but still want to practice, You can always modify with an Elevated Plank Hold, Bear Hold, or Overhead Plate Hold. You could also do a timed set or certain number of reps/distance of Waiter Walks, Farmer Carry/March, or Bear Crawl. Please visit the Mama Modifications Movement Library for more options and demonstrations.

Power Clean

Having to move the bar out and around your belly can add a lot of extra strain to the lower back, so we recommend using dumbbells instead of the barbell during the later stages of pregnancy or as your belly grows and you're no longer able to keep the bar moving in a straight line. It may also be more comfortable to start from the hang position or to adjust your stance slightly.

DB/Back/Front/Goblet/Air Squat

If you're trying to manage the pressure on your core and pelvic floor, you can start by simply doing something different with the way you’re breathing or how you’re holding tension in your body throughout the movement. If you feel like you need or want to customize further you can minimize some the demand by shortening the range of motion, using a target, or holding on to something for assistance. Another option for customizing is a Box Squat which can be especially helpful for building posterior chain strength.
