It's Day 5 of Project April! Today's Program A or SHIFT will count toward the Project April Badge in the Trophy Case!


PROGRAM A

PROGRAM A

WARM UP

WORKOUT

Every 3 Minutes for 24 Minutes (8 Rounds Total)

12 Wall Balls / Single Dumbbell Thrusters
Run 200 Meters
8 Burpees

Suggestions
Men: 40#DB - or - 20#ish Ball
Women: 25# DB -or- 13-15# Ball

Extra Challenge
Men/Women: Increase Reps to 18 Wall Balls / 12 Burpees

Score:
Fastest Round
Slowest Round

Goal: 2:00-2:40

Coaches Notes

The idea here is to have at least 20 seconds to rest between rounds, even before the last round. Set yourself up so that you can complete your first couple of rounds on the faster side of the goal window so that as fatigue sets in in the later rounds, you'll still be able to get that necessary rest.

Choose a weight (if possible) and a target height on the wall balls that you can perform all 12 reps unbroken for at least the first 4 rounds. After that, they should be completed in no more than 2 sets.

Push an uncomfortable pace on the run. We are shooting for a minute or less each time.

It's a fairly low number of burpees, and you get to rest after them, so send it. Make sure you are breathing throughout and don't stop moving!

Thruster/Wall Ball

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.

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.

Burpee

If you’re trying to manage the pressure on your core or 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 the movement. If you feel like you need or want to customize further you can minimize some of the impact by stepping out and stepping in or manage some of the pressure along the abdominal wall by using your knees or with an elevated burpee. Some other options for customizing are Bear Pose Burpee, KB Swing, or Ball Slam. 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.

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.

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.

Jump/Skip/Hop Overs

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.

Goal: Challenge yourself but complete all work each minute!

Coaches Notes

Challenge yourself with weight today. Go with something that you will have to break up into two sets but still have 15-20 seconds rest each minute.

Focus on getting tall on the hang power cleans. We want that good hip and leg extension to send the weight up rather than a lot of swinging action. Keep the weight close to your body on the way up and back down.

Elbows high is the name of the game on the lunges. The weight should remain basically over the hips throughout each rep. If you drop the elbows or look down, it will be much harder to keep your torso upright and more likely to light up the lower back.

Hang Clean

Having to move the barbell out and around your belly can add a lot of extra strain to the lower back, so we recommend using dumbbells instead 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.

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.

Coaches Notes

You're shooting for 3:30-5:00 per round today. Find a steady but mildly uncomfortable pace on the air squats. Of the three movements today, this one is one you can really challenge yourself to push the pace on.

Don't peacock the pull ups. Break with a few reps left in the tank each time you hop up on the bar. You should definitely be able to perform at lest 5 reps of whatever variation you choose, even under fatigue. If you don't have a pull up bar, a great customizations for those would be 20 Dumbbell Bent Over Rows or 15 Single Arm Bent Over Rows on both arms.

Choose a weight and pace on the devil press that allow you to get those 10 reps done in 1:15-2:00. Use the warm up to gauge how long 2-3 reps will take you then do the math to ensure you'll fall within that time frame.

Goal: 24-30 Minutes

Coaches Notes

You guys can split up the work however you like. The reps are listed as total combined between the two of you. While one partner works, the other rests. You shouldn't move on to the next movement until all reps of the previous movement are complete.

Find a steady but uncomfortable pace on the air squats. You can really afford to push the pace on this movement since you're resting while your partner works. Don't peacock the pull ups. Even with rest, these will get tough just with the high volume you have to work through before moving on. The variation you choose should allow you to do at least 5 at a time.

Choose a weight for the devil press that allows you to perform 7-10 reps within a minute. Use the warm up to gauge how long 2-3 reps will take you then do the math to ensure you'll fall within that time frame.

Devil Press

If you feel a lot of pressure on your abdominal wall 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!
