Score: Total Time
Goal: 12-17 Minutes

Choose a load that you could go unbroken for sure in the first round or two. Then you might need to break up the push presses into two sets in the remaining rounds. Stay focused on the box jumps and pick up your feet!

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 push press hold a dumbbell in each hand at the shoulders. Feet are between hip and 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 DBs pop up off the shoulders, press straight up to lock out.

Finish with biceps by the ears. Standing tall. Locked out elbows. Belly tight.

For the box jumps choose a height that you are comfortable jumping on after lots of air squats!

Make sure when you jump and when you land that the knees do not cave in! Stand all of the way up on your box/bench. You may also sub step ups or lunges. Or, if you don't have something to jump ON - find something to jump OVER!

We would love to see you actually jump if possible! Even if you are jumping on a few stacked bumper plates or over your laundry basket!

You MUST complete the  first 4 rounds under 11 min to be eligible for a 5th round. Just note if you did 5th round in comments.

Score: Total Time
Goal: 12 -17 Minutes

Choose a variation on the handstand push up that you can still hit the time goal. They should take at the most 90 seconds so you can complete each round in 3-4 minutes.

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 handstand push ups, hands should be slightly wider than shoulder width and about 8-12 inches from the wall. When you lower to the floor, your head should be closer to the wall than your hands. Keep your belly tight to avoid over extension of your spine. You may perform them strict or kipping. Control your descent down and lock out your arms at the top!

Modify this by doing pike presses with your feet on a box.

For the box jumps choose a height that you are comfortable jumping on after lots of air squats!

Finish with biceps by the ears. Standing tall. Locked out elbows. Belly tight.

For the box jumps choose a height that you are comfortable jumping on after lots of air squats!

Make sure when you jump and when you land that the knees do not cave in! Stand all of the way up on your box/bench. You may also sub step ups or lunges. Or, if you don't have something to jump ON - find something to jump OVER!

We would love to see you actually jump if possible! Even if you are jumping on a few stacked bumper plates or over your laundry basket!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

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.

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.

(Only need weight for the overhead press)

Score: Squat and Press Reps Combined for all 8 Rounds.
Goal: 130-180 Reps

For this workout, you will perform 30 seconds of jogging, 30 seconds of squats, 30 seconds of jogging, and 30 seconds of presses for 8 rounds or 16 minutes total.

For the first part you will choose from a Jog, Row, Bike, Taps, Single Unders, MTN Climbers, 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!

For the shoulder press you can use two DB on the shoulders or one DB/KB at the chest. Focus on keeping the rib cage down as you go to press up. Press the object until it’s completely locked out overhead with the biceps next to the ears! Then bring the dumbbells all the way down to the shoulders each time.

If you need to - you can sub push-ups for the shoulder press. You may do regular push ups, knee push ups, or even elevated push ups.

4 Rounds (Not for Time)
15 Good Mornings
15 Roll Up with Slow Lower
15 Single Leg Deadlift Right
15 Single Leg Deadlift Left
1 Min  Plank Dumbbell Pass Reps

Score is  Good Morning Weight -

You may use a band or you may start with 95# for Men, 65# for Women and go up from there as comfort allows.

For the good mornings, the bar will be on the back in a similar position to the back squat. From here you will reach the butt back and lower the chest - maintaining the arch of the back. Knees will soften and bend, but only slightly. If you can maintain positions, you will want to go to 90 degrees. If back starts to round - do not go that far!

Squeeze the butt to stand up.

For the roll ups - You can do this on a bench or on the ground - you just need something behind your head to hold on to.

Keeping your legs straight and laying on your back - raise the legs, then the hips, press the low back into the ground/bench as you roll up - one piece at a time until all but your head and shoulders are up. SLOWLY roll yourself all the way back down.

For the single leg deadlifts - you will hold the weight in the opposite hand of the working leg. You will fight to keep the chest up and heel down. Allow a slight bend in the knee. Stand up completely at the top.

For the plank dumbbell pass reps you will be in the push up position. You will grab a dumbbell with the right hand and pass it to the left hip. Then you will grab another dumbbell with the left hand and pass it to the right hip. Then by again reaching across you will bring the dumbbells back up.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

GOOD MORNINGS - This can be such a great movement for mamas! Focus on good posture, breathing mechanics, and midline stability. Feel free to use a band, lighter weight, or no weight at all.

ROLL UP WITH SLOW LOWER - This movement can put a lot of pressure on the core and pelvic floor. If you're healing diastasis or need to modify try using the Functional Progression Warm Up video for options on rehabilitiative movements and move slowly and with intention. You could also sub Dumbbell Windmill, Banded Woodchop, Overhead Plate Hold, Waiter Walks (See Mama Modifications Movement Library for demos)

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.

PLANK DUMBBELL PASS - If you notice coning in the plank position try using the Functional Progression Warm Up video for options on rehabilitative movements and move slowly and with intention. You could also sub Bear Pose DB Drag, Lateral Bear Crawls, Dumbbell Windmill, Banded Woodchop, Overhead Plate Hold, Waiter Walks, or Farmer Carry/March (See Mama Modifications Movement Library for demos)

3  Rounds
Each round is a 5 Min AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible 5 Min)
20 Sandbag Power Cleans
15 Front squats
10 Bent over Slams

Rest 1 Min between rounds

Idea Weight for Sandbags:
Men: 50-70#
Women: 25-45#

Score: Total Number of Completed Rounds from all AMRAPs combined + add up all additional reps.
Goal: 6 Rounds +

Start over at the beginning for each AMRAP. One minute will go by fast in that minute break, focus on long exhales to help you recover. Move well, and take the time to find good set up positions!

For this movement, the sandbag will start on the ground. Feet under the hips roughly. Knees are bent, sandbag is close to the body, chest is up, arms are straight. Stand by driving the heels down and lifting the chest. Stand up hard and fast (jump) SHRUG the shoulders. Shoot the elbows around and forward FAST to get the sandbag on the biceps with the elbows high. As you shoot the elbows around you will pull yourself under into a partial front squat. Stand fully to complete the movement.

For these squats, make sure the sandbag is resting on the biceps with the elbows high! Keep the chest up, but do not overextend the back. Keep the belly tight!

Reach the butt back and down trying to keep the elbows and chest up as you descend. Drive the knees out and keep the heels down throughout. The bottom position should be where the butt is lower than the top of the knee. Do not collapse in this position. Do not go so low that the back starts to round.

To stand, lead with the chest and elbows - keeping the sandbag on the biceps and elbows high. Stand fully for each rep.

For the bent over slams, set up with your feet shoulder with apart. Push your hips back, chest up slightly, belly tight and back is flat. Take a neutral grip or no-handle grip on the bag. You will maintain a hinged position as you pull the bag to your chest. Keep your belly tight as you aggressively extend your arms toward the floor and slam the bag back to the ground. The power comes from the speed at which you can push the bag away from you. So keep your base tight and think FAST with the arms.

Front Squat (5 x 3 (One Set Every 3 Min for 15 Min))
Take at least 3 warm up sets to build up to your working weight on the front squats.

These should be heavy but not so heavy that your core collapses, elbows drop or back rounds. Make sure you maintain correct form on every rep!!

For front squats, 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!

Reach the butt back and down trying to keep the elbows and chest up as you descend. Drive the knees out and keep the heels down throughout. The bottom position should be where the butt is lower than the top of the knee. Do not collapse in this position. Do not go so low that the back starts to round.

To stand, lead with the chest and elbows - keeping the bar on the shoulder and not out in front. Stand fully for each rep.


Part 2
Complete 60 Strict Pull Ups in as few sets as possible.
Modify appropriately and rest enough between sets so that you can perform sets of at least 5 reps the whole way. Shouldn't take more than 15 minutes.

So we want to keep these pull ups strict. If you are unable to perform 12 sets of 5 pull ups, no problem! Just use a band, put the bar in a rack and do supine rows, do trx/ring rows, or even bent over rows.

If you choose bent rows, they should be heavy but not necessitate any action or momentum from the hips. If you are feeling too much stress in the lower back, try single arm bent rows with the other hand and knee planted on a bench or box.

Headstand Press to Support Practice
Put 7 Min on the clock and practice one of the variations of a controlled raising of the lower body into a headstand position.

The ultimate goal of this would be to eventually be able to do all of this stuff in a handstand, but here we are working toward first getting a free standing headstand and learning body control through these drills.

If you have injuries or issues going upside down, be careful with this one and go at your own pace!

Make sure hands and head are in a tri-pod position (Hands more in front of the face as if you had a barbell in the front rack). All of you yogis out there may also choose to lay the forearms on the ground instead of the hands.

If doing these free standing you will place head and hands on the ground and then pike the feet out straight. From here you can keep the legs straight and squeeze the butt to bring the feet up - or you may tuck the knees in and then press the legs straight. Make sure if you are doing these free standing that you are comfortable rolling out of it if possible.

Otherwise you may do one of the variations on the wall. Do not do these fast and hold the top position for a few seconds before coming down!


7 Min EMOM
3-6 of the following complex performed every minute for 7 min:
2 Second L Hold
1 Kip Swing
1 Toes to Bar

So one time through that is 1 rep. Repeat for 3-6 reps each minute. You will hang from the bar and lift the legs into an L position. Hold for 2 seconds.

From here you will lower the legs and pull your head and chest through in an arch position. Then you will press against the bar and swing the feet forward into a hollow position. That is 1 kip swing.

From there you will once again pull the head and chest through as the feet go behind and press into the bar as you bring the toes up!

If you are unable to do the L hang you may do a knee tuck hang.

If you are unable to do toes to bar you may do a knee up or knee to elbow.

Your score is how many total reps you did through out.

So if you did 5 per min for 7 min your score is 35. Write what version you did in the comments.


Accumulate 3 Min in a Pike Plank Hold
Start the clock. Hold for as long as possible. Make a note of how long. Rest as needed. Go up again and hold...

Once your total "HOLD" time = 3 min you are done.

Your score though is your TOTAL time.

RX + - Put your feet in or on something unstable like in your rings or TRX bands or on a stability ball.

For this it is NOT a normal plank. We want to be even a little more hollow and we want to see the hands more out in front instead of stacked perfectly under the shoulders. Use the abs to pull UP! Push the ground away with the shoulders.

12 Sets Total
3 sets of 8-10 Z Press
then
3 sets of 12-15 Standing Upright Rows
then
3 sets of 10 Left/10 Right Lying one-arm Lat Raise
then
3 sets of 8-12 Front Raises

Rest as needed between sets and movements.

Score: Weight used for Z Press

Do all 3 rounds of each movement before moving on to the next one. Go LIGHT on the lying lat raises and front raises. Each movement should be slow and controlled with a 1 second pause at the top.

For the Z press you will sit on the floor with legs extended in front of you. Sit up very tall with the DBs on the shoulders with elbows high. Keep the rib cage down and belly tight. Press straight up until your elbows are locked out with biceps by the ears. Bring the dumbbells all the way down to the shoulders each time.

For the upright row, stand up tall with a dumbbell in each hand. Keep your chest up and belly tight as you pull the dumbbells up to your chest. They should stay close to your body. Elbows shouldn't really go higher than your shoulders. Lower back to your waist with control.

For the lying lat raise, lay on your side on a bench or the floor with your head supported by your bottom arm. Holding a dumbbell out in front of in your top hand, raise your arm until it is perpendicular to the floor. Keep a slight bend in your elbow the whole time and try to keep your hips from shifting during the lift.

For the Dumbbell Front Raise both arms move together. Allow a slight bend in the elbow and avoid using any "kipping" or bouncing to move the weight. You will raise your arms up in front of you with wrists facing down until arms are parallel to the ground.

WARM UP
Overhead Warm Up

Tall Jerk (3 x 7)
Starting with the bar just above the head - push under to lockout - stand. This will need to be done extremely light. After you unrack the bar or clean it to the shoulder - you will press it up so it's JUST above your head. Belly tight and rib cage down. Pause for a moment in that position.

Then as you press the bar UP press yourself down fast! You may move feet out to squat stance as you go down - or to a split stance. Finish in a partial squat or split position with the biceps by the ears, bar over the middle of the body, belly tight.  Stand to complete.

Lower back to the shoulders. Each set is 7 total reps. This is WAY more about technique and speed than going heavy.


Push Jerk (16 Min EMOM - 2 Reps)
You will do 2 reps every minute for 16 Min!

These should not be re-racked but an actual set of 2 each time.

The bar will start up high on the shoulders with the elbows in front. You may clean the bar from the ground or take it from the rack. Your feet are under your hips and your heels are down. Stand tall, belly tight.

Dip keeping the heels down, allowing the knees to come forward and out, and hips staying back. Keep the chest up and do not let the weight pull you forward. From here you will stand up hard and fast. Drive the power from the legs into the bar. Move your face out of the way and think of pressing the bar up as you press YOURSELF DOWN under it. Feet may move slightly wider - but no wider than your squat stance (shoulder width).

You will land with your weight in your heels, knees bent and out, butt back, and bar locked out over the middle of your body. Press into the bar and keep the belly tight. Stand completely.

When lowering the bar back to the shoulders absorb with the knees and either go into the next rep or re-set for the next rep.


Push Jerk (3 sets Max Reps - 70% of last lifts from EMOM)
Whatever was the heaviest set of 2 you were able to do in the EMOM - you will use 70% of that weight and do 3 sets of max reps with that weight.

Rest 2 Min between sets.

RX+ Option: Heavier Dumbbells
(Note weight used in comments)

SCORE: TOTAL TIME
GOAL: 15-22 MIN

This one is a peacock's paradise so be warned! It is 30, yes Three Zero rounds. Make sure you pace yourself. Focus on breathing throughout the burpees and moving smoothly throughout the lungesters.

Do a test round or two in your warm up to make sure the load you choose will allow you to consistently complete each round in 45 seconds or less.

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!

You can also sub to "no-push-up" burpees or even do them with your hands elevated on a bench or box if you need to.

Dumbbell Lungesters begin with the dumbbells on the shoulders with the elbows in front. You may perform the lunges portion as reverse stepping or forward stepping. Make sure you take a long enough step that your front heel stays down when your back knee LIGHTLY touches the ground. Don't allow the forward knee to cave in. Keep the belly tight and chest up. You will perform a lunge on each side.
AND THEN
Put the feet at shoulder width apart. Heels down. Dumbbells still at the shoulders with the elbows high. Reach the butt back and down. Keep the heels down and drive the knees out. Keep the chest up and belly tight. Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom. Drive up hard and fast out of the squat. Pop the dumbbells off of the shoulders. Keep the belly tight and press the dumbbells straight up to lock out - finishing with the biceps by the ears!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

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

LUNGESTERS - 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. Option to sub: Thrusters, Weighted Step Ups, Weighted Lateral Step Ups, Lunge + Lunge + Air Squat, Goblet/DB Squat

Strict Pull Up Option:
First Set each Round: 6-8 Reps
Second Set each Round: 4-6 Reps

Score: Total Time (Including Rest)
Goal: 15-21 Min

This is a lot of pulling, which means it is going to get grippy and you want to make sure to keep your lats fired up aka broad chest!

Each round should take 4-6 minutes not including the rest. Keep a good pace on the run!

DB power clean starts with the DBs on the ground just outside your feet, which are positioned hip width apart. Bend your knees and keep your heels down. Allow a slight hinge at the hips, arms straight. Keep your belly tight and your back flat.

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 shoulder with the elbows high. Catch in just a partial front squat with the heels down, knees out, chest up. Stand to complete the rep and then lower the weight back to the ground for the next rep.

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 400m run, you're working with 2:00-2:30.  Shorten the distance as needed to fit the time window. If unable to run due to space or weather purposes - 2 min double/single unders, low step ups, Mtn Climbers or toe taps to a low target.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

POWER CLEAN - You could also 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.

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, BIRTHFIT 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.

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.

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 it’s 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.

SHIFT WORKOUT

6 Rounds
12 Deadlift
8 Ring/TRX or Bent Over Row
1 Min Jog, Row, Bike, Taps, Single Unders, Skip Overs, Low Step Ups

Idea Weight for Men: Single 35-55# KB/DB - or - pair of lighter dumbbells
Idea Weight for Women: Single 12-30# KB/DB - or pair of lighter dumbbells

Score: Total Time
Goal: Under 14 Min

For this workout, you'll do 12 deadlifts, 8 ring/TRX rows OR bent over rows, and a 1 minute jog for 6 rounds. If you finish in under 10 minutes, turn it into a 10 minute AMRAP.

For the deadlifts you will either have a single KB/DB between the feet or a pair of lighter dumbbells on the outsides of the feet. Make sure the knees are bent, chest is up, arms are straight, and heels are down in the set up. Lift the chest and squeeze the butt to stand! Lower by reaching butt back and bending the knees while you keep the belly tight and chest up!

If you are doing the TRX/Ring/Bar in Rack option - 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.

For the bent over rows, you will deadlift the dumbbells to just below the knee. From here, 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 arm straight at the bottom. This isn't meant to be done fast and jerky. Control the up and then show control as you lower down.

If you choose to do the bent over row and only have a single DB or KB, just do 8 on each side.

For the 1 minute job, you can sub with row, bike, taps, single unders (jump rope), skip overs, or low step ups!

Gunnie was 11 Years Old. He was born on Sept 13. This is how we will honor him. Going to be an emotional one for us...

For the dumbbell squats choose  a weight that you think you will try to do all 13 unbroken each time.  If you end up having to break them a little bit toward the later rounds - that is ok, but this weight should be relatively light for you.

For these reps the dumbbells will be at or on the shoulder.  Reach the butt back and down, keep the heels down, drive the knees out, fight to keep the chest up.  Butt should be lower than the knees at the bottom.  Stand all of the way up at the top of each rep.

For the jump overs the goal is to jump COMPLETELY over something!  So find a height and object you are comfortable with.  You can even just set up a broomstick between 2 chairs or something!  Get creative!  If possible, this should be higher than just your bar with the plates on it.

If you cannot jump for injury or other reasons you will sub 9 no push up burpees.

DB/GOBLET 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.

JUMP/SKIP OVERS - To 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.

12 Min AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible in 12 Min)
10 Air Squats
10 Jump Overs, Skip Overs (facing), or Plate Hops

No Weight needed!

Score: Total Number of Completed Rounds + Any Additional Reps
Goal: 10 Rounds +

For this workout, you will do 10 squats followed by 10 jump or skip overs (facing) - OR - 10 plate hops for 12 minutes!

For these squats, keep the chest up, but do not overextend the back. Keep the belly tight!

Reach the butt back and down trying to keep the chest up as you descend. Drive the knees out and keep the heels down throughout. The bottom position should be where the butt is lower than the top of the knee. Do not collapse in this position. Do not go so low that the back starts to round.

To stand, lead with the chest. Stand fully for each rep.

NO PLOPPING. Show control throughout! If you are not able to go all of the way down without collapsing - don't go as low and squat to a target still focusing on heels down, knees out, belly tight, and chest up.

You may also choose to hold onto something for a bit of stability to allow you to go a bit lower.

For the jump/hop/skip over. The idea is to jump completely over something - even if that means a chalk like on the ground. You will face the object or line and jump over. You may also choose to jump onto something that is just a couple of inches high as well (like a bumper plate).

If you are unable to even do the skip you may sub low step ups or KB/DB Swings with a light to moderate load.

Weighted Sit Up Loading:
Men: 20-40#
Women: 12-25#

Score: Slowest Round ONLY
Goal: Under 1:45

The first few rounds should be under 90 seconds for sure. If that is not happening straight away, lower the load or choose a different movement variation with the rope and/or toes to bar!

Log your time between rounds to keep track.

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.  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 30 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.

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 7 per arm per round.

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 weighted sit ups.

Or, modify to V-Ups, Knee-Ups, Supine Toe Touches or regular sit-ups if you need to!

Pregnant/postpartum modifications include Russian kettlebell swings or ball slams. See Members Only for even more options!

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.

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 30 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.

The sandbag hang to overhead starts at the top of a deadlift with an overhand or neutral grip. Shift your hips back, bend your knees slightly 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!

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

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.

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, Overhead Plate Hold/March, Palloff Press, Banded/Wall Ball Woodchop, Standing Cross Body Wall Ball 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/Wall Ball Woodchop, Standing Cross Body Wall Ball Throws, Goblet Hold/Squat, Waiter Walk (SEE MAMA MODS MOVEMENT LIBRARY FOR DEMOS)

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

For this workout, you'll do 20 single unders or taps, 10 KB/DB swings, and 10 sit-ups for 12 minutes total.

For the single unders / taps / line hop overs, you will do 20 per round! You may also choose to do low step ups if jumping or skipping is not an option.

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!

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 or slam balls.

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.

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.

1 rep of the renegade row = push up + row right + row left.

For the push up we want to see a rigid body position.  No sagging hips or snaking.  Hands are on the dumbbells.  Go to the knees if you need to.

For the rows, stay in the plank/top of the push up.  Row one dumbbell to the rib cage by pulling the elbow back.  Try to avoid rotating too much.  Pull the dumbbell all the way up for each rep then lower under control.

If you are struggling to maintain a tight plank position as you pull, trying lowering the weight or modifying to shoulder taps.

For the Farmer Carries, you will hold a dumbbell in each hand.

For 100m, it should take about a minute.  If it's much slower or you are breaking a lot, go to a single dumbbell and switch hands at the halfway point.

If you can't get outside, accumulate 1 minute of march in place or really low step ups holding the DBs.

For the thrusters the DBs will be on the shoulders 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 DBs on the shoulders and elbows high.  Stand hard and fast to pop the DBs off of the body.  Press the DBs straight up. Keep belly tight and finish locked out overhead - biceps by the ears.

For the barbell front rack step ups, choose a height that will not pull you forward as you step, keep your chest up, elbows high, and belly tight!

Step your whole foot onto the box.  Drive through the heel of the box planted foot and step your other foot on to the box.

Stand all the way up on the box. If you don't have a box you may do this on a bench or something similar.

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.

For the push up, elevate your hands a few inches on some plates or other objects. We want to see a rigid body position with shoulders above or beyond the wrists and hands just wider than shoulder width.  Squeeze your butt, your thighs and your belly. No sagging hips or snaking.

Lower your chest and thighs to make contact with the floor.  Stay engaged.  Press back up to the the top until arms are totally straight.

Go from the knees or elevate the hands and remove the deficit if you need to!

Set up for the bent over row by deadlifting the bar to just below the knee. From here, keeping the torso position set and the chest lifted - pull the elbows back and bring the bar to just below the chest.  Keep the belly tight. Bring the bar back to just below the knee with the arm straight at the bottom. No kipping or pulling your CHEST down!

For the front rack carry, fingertips on the bar upper arms parallel to the ground.

If space is an issue, accumulate 1 min of marching in place or low step ups.

For the thrusters the bar will be on the shoulders with the elbows high.  Feet under shoulders, heels down.  You will reach butt back and down and get to the bottom of the squat with the bar on the shoulders and keeping the elbows high.  Stand hard and fast to pop the bar off of the body.  Move the face out of the way and press the bar straight up.

Just try to keep moving on this one!

For the sandbag step-ups, 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, 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.

Nothing to step up onto? Switch to alternating sandbag lunges. Each lunge is one rep.

For the push up and lateral drag you will 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 you will reach under and across and drag the bag to the left side of our 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 he way across a little plank side step so you can start the next pull in a good position. One push up + on drag = 1 rep.

The suitcase carry is like it sounds. Walk with the bag in one hand by your side. Switch hands at 50m.

If it is banging against your leg or otherwise uncomfortable, switch to a bear hug carry.

For space limitations, march in place or do super low step ups with the carry for 1 minute.

For the thrusters 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.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

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

PUSH UPS - If you notice coning/doming in the plank position or if you find yourself straining to breathe or bearing down forcefully into your belly or pelvic floor, sub an elevated push up with hands on box, bench, wall, table, etc. or sub floor press, or bench press.

RENEGADE ROW - If you notice coning in the plank position you may want to do an elevated (i.e. hands on box or bench) renegade row. Or Separate the movement into an elevated push up and then a traditional DB Bent Over Row or even change it to shoulder taps or elevated shoulder taps. If you are later in your pregnancy or in the rehab phase of postpartum you may want to train with intention and sub any of the BIRTHFIT Functional Progressions. You could also sub BIRTHFIT Dumbbell Windmill, BIRTHFIT Bandeed Woodchop, Overhead Plate Hold, Waiter Walks, or Farmer Carry/March.

GOBLET 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.

Idea Weight for Men: Single 30-50# KB/DB - or - pair of lighter dumbbells
Idea Weight for Women: Single 12-30# KB/DB - or - pair of lighter dumbbells

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

For this workout, you will do 12 alternating step-ups, 10 push-ups, 8 goblet squats, and 6 overhead presses for 15 minutes total.

For the step ups, you will choose a height that will challenge you, but that you feel comfortable stepping up and down. If possible this should be at least 12"+.

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 12 you will do 6 per leg.

You can sub the step-ups with unweighted lunges!

For the push ups you may do regular push ups, knee push ups, or even elevated push ups. Choose a type of push up that you can't just bust out 10 reps. It's ok if you need to break them up a bit.

Make sure the elbows go back and that the hands are just wider than the shoulders. No flaring elbows. Keep the belly tight and avoid worming or snaking. Go all of the way down to touch the chest  at the bottom, come all of the way up at the top.

For the Goblet Squat, you will hold the weight at the chest/shoulders or if you have 2 DBs, you can hold them at your shoulders like a DB front squat. Feet are shoulder width apart with the heels down. Lift the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down. Keep the heels down as you drive the knees out. Ideally you will get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom with heels down, knees out, and chest up! Drive through the heels to stand!

If you need to - you can do these with no weight in order to get all of the way down and keep good position. Or if injury/issue prevents this you may squat to a slightly higher target!

For the shoulder press you can use two DB on the shoulders or one DB/KB at the chest. Focus on keeping the rib cage down as you go to press up. Press the object until it’s completely locked out overhead with the biceps by the ears! Then bring the dumbbells all the way down to the shoulders each time.
