Score: Total Time

Goal: 10-15 Min

To hit the goal, you'll need to keep a pace of 3:30-5:00 per round. Thrusters do not need to be unbroken, but they should take 1:00-1:30. It's ok if you have to break into 2-3 sets. Choose a load that allows you to keep your breaks short.

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.

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.

Set up for wall walks in the bottom of a push up with feet against the wall. Walk your feet up the wall as you press to the top of a push up then back toward the wall. Keep your belly tight and do not overarch you back. Touch your chest to the wall then walk your hands out and feet down to the floor.

Don't slide or flop!

Modify by going only part of the way up or doing pike up on the box, push up + tap tap or even inchworms.

Pike up on the box starts in the top of a push up with toes on a box. Keep your toes planted and walk your hands toward the box until you are in a 90° pike position at the top. Then, walk your hands back out.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

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.

FRONT/GOBLET SQUATS OR THRUSTERS - 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.

JERK/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.

WALLWALKS - Try to measure risk vs. reward when considering if you can/should perform this movement. If you are unable to maintain midline stability and solid breathing mechanics throughout the duration of the entire movement you may need to sub: Inchworms, Box/Pike Walk outs, Seated Shoulder Press, or Shoulder Taps

INCHWORMS - If you struggle with coning in the plank position or if this movement is uncomfortable with a growing belly, you can try subbing: Bear Pose Shoulder Taps, Bear Crawl, Elevated Shoulder Taps, Seated Alt Strict Press,or Kneeling Inchworms.

SHIFT WORKOUT

5 Rounds

1 Min Jog/Run, Row, Bike, Taps, Single Unders, or Low Step Ups
10 Squat + Press
5 Inchworms

Suggested Weight Range Men: 20-40# Single DB/KB - or - pair of lighter dumbbells
Suggested Weight Range Women: 12-30# Single DB/KB - or - pair of lighter dumbbells

Score: Total Time

Goal: 15 Min or Less

For this workout, you'll perform 1 minute of movement, 10 squat + press, and 5 inchworms for a total of 5 rounds!

For the first part you will choose from a jog/run, row, bike, taps, single unders (jump rope), or low step ups. Whichever you pick, you will perform until 1 minute is complete. You may change which movement you pick from round to round.

For the Squat portion of the Squat + Press, you will hold the weight at the chest/shoulders. 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 Press portion, after you've stood out of the squat, 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.

For the inchworms, you will place the hands on the ground in front of the feet. Walk them away from your hands until you are in a plank position. From here you will perform a push up by either going to your knees, or staying on your toes. Either way make sure that the elbows go back and that the hands are just wider than the shoulders. No flaring out! Keep the belly tight and avoid worming or snaking. Press back up to the top of the push up, then walk the hands back to the feet and stand. You can also take out the push up completely.

You may also sub a push up + 8 elevated shoulder taps in place of each rep.

(No push ups in the first minute)

RX+: 10 push ups per minute /
50 Strict Pull Ups - OR - 70 Supine Rows

Score: Total Time

Goal: 12-18 Min

The 75 Swings should take 5 minutes or less. Pull ups no longer than 6-8 min. Fast singles are okay but you should be able to do at least 4-5 per minute.

Supine rows should be feet elevated if possible, using rings or a racked bar. Make them hard!

Do NOT do bent over rows as a sub with KB swings. Instead, go to 150 swings - 10 push ups per minute and ditch the pull.

For the swings, 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, keep the belly tight and guide the weight overhead! Allow gravity to bring it back down and back between the legs. Don't allow it to pull you forward. Keep those heels down!

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

For strict pull ups, you'll need to keep your whole body engaged and avoid using any momentum or swing. Grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder width and draw your shoulders down away from your ears. Arms should be completely straight. Squeeze your belly, your butt and your legs to create a tight position. Pull your body up until your chin is above the bar. Lower with control until arms are straight.

For the push up 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.

Keep your elbows within 45 degrees to the body as you 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.

To maintain these good positions throughout, you may need to go from the knees or elevate your hands.

The 75 Swings should take 5 minutes or less. Muscle ups, no longer than 6-8 min. Fast singles are okay but you should be able to do at least 4-5 per minute.

Muscle Up scales are suggested below but consider the strict pull up option if you would be scaling heavily and want to get more out of this workout.

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 dumbbell weightless and then (keeping the belly tight) guide the weight all of the way overhead! Allow gravity to bring it back down and back between the legs. Don't allow it to pull you forward. Keep those heels down!

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

A muscle up 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. You may modify with jumping, banded, foot assisted etc. versions to practice the transition from the pull up into the dip.

For the push up 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.

Keep your elbows within 45 degrees to the body as you 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.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

KB SWING - If you notice and 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 a single arm swing!

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, or a more upright bar in rack pull up. To manage 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, 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 or once you're more confident with managing the pressure in your core.

So much work in 30 minutes!!

Score is weight you used for Reverse Lunges...this way you don't have to worry about counting reps the WHOLE time!

For the side step ups you want between 16-24" depending on how tall you are. You will start standing on the box, facing the side so that one foot is suspended off the side of the box. Hold a dumbbell or kettlebell in each hand at your sides like a Farmer Carry. Or if you only have one DB/KB, hold the weight at your chest. Lower the suspended foot to the ground under control. Pause a bit at the bottom. Use no rebound. Focus on driving off of the heel and standing all the way up. You don't want the weight to be super heavy for this so you can keep moving the whole 30 seconds.

The reverse lunge is just on the ground (no box). You will take a big step back, kiss the back knee on the ground, and then drive off of the front foot to stand. Hold a dumbbell or kettlebell in each hand at your sides.

For the opposite arm opposite toe weighted crunches, you'll start lying on your back with your arms overhead and legs straight. The working arm should hold the small plate (2.5-5lb). Press your lock back into the ground and raise your working arm and opposite leg. Touch the weight to the toe each time. Keep the arms and legs PRETTY straight. Complete 30 seconds using the R arm and L leg. Then for the next 30 seconds, switch to L arm and R leg.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

REVERSE 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.

WEIGHTED CRUNCH - Functional Progressions (1-4) would be great here! Visit the Members Only Warm Up videos for demos. We especially love the Banded Crossover version of Functional Progression 1! You can also try Overhead Plate Hold/March, Farmer Carry March, Palloff Press, Dumbbell Windmill, Banded Woodchop. Visit the Mama Modifications Movement Library for Demos.

Full Body Simple Warm Up

15 Min AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible in 15 Min)

16 Drag and Pull (Alternating)
12 Suitcase Lunge (Left)
12 Suitcase lunge (Right)

Idea Sandbag weights:
Men: 50-70#
Women: 25-45#

Score: Total Time

Goal: 4 Rounds +

For the drag and pull you will start in a plank position with the bag down between the legs by the hips. Grab with right hand and drag it up until it is past your head in front of you. With that same hand - pull it back to where you started. Then switch hands. Each drag + pull = 1 rep. You will alternate right and left per rep for a total of 8 drag + pulls per arm per set.

The goal here is to keep a solid plank position, and allow a slight rotation in the drag and pull. Don't allow the butt to get too high or the hips to sag. Keep the belly tight!

The idea of the suitcase lunge is just that. Hold it like a suitcase and lunge (we love the reverse lunge the best for this). You will hold the bag in the same hand as the forward foot. So for example - you will hold the bag in your right hand and step back for a reverse lunge with your left. The bag is next to the front leg/knee at the bottom of the lunge.

If you are not tall...and the bag hits the ground - you have 3 options. Go with it, bend the arm a bit at the bottom (this is what Julian is doing in the demo video), or if it's all a big hassle based on your height and bag - just throw it up on your shoulder and do them that way!

Power 11120

Squat Warm Up

Front Squat (4 Set of 4 Tempo Squats)

Take about 12 minutes to complete this. So one set every 3 minutes or so. Tempo is TOUGH so you'll likely need to go lighter on this one. Ideally, you will stay at the same weight across all 4 sets but you're allowed one adjustment in case you went too heavy or too light!

--- THE TEMPO IS 33X1 ---

This means lower for 3 seconds, active hold in the bottom for a full 3 seconds, drive hard back up to standing, pause for one second at the top and repeat for the remaining reps.

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.

Every 3 Minutes for 15 Min

5 Bench Press
12 Bench Jump Overs

These should be heavy, unbroken sets. You can keep the load the same or add load between sets.

All 5 sets of the bench should be a challenge. Start somewhere around 80% and either keep it the same or add a small amount of load each time.

Lying face up on the bench, pull the bar from the rack out over your chest so your arms are vertical. Push your feet down into the floor. Draw your low back, shoulders and the back of your head down into the bench. Lower the bar straight down with control until it touches your chest an inch or two above the sternum. Keep your elbows about 45 degrees from your torso, wrists straight. Press the bar all the way back up until your arms are straight to complete the rep.

The bench jump overs are just like they sound. Two foot take off and two foot landing, jump over the bench. Then, turn and jump over again. Each jump is one rep.

7 Min EMOM

3-7 Butterfly Pull Up

Butterfly Pull Up Drill Option

Choose number and option based on your ability right now!

For these you can just do butterfly pull ups if you already rock them! Or you can even do butterfly or kipping chest to bars if you want to work on those.

Other options are one foot on the box practice - see video demo.

Or just practicing the small circles without worrying about getting the chin over the bar - also in video demo.

For Time (but also QUALITY)

20 Total Reps

Wall Walk In
6 Shoulder Taps
Wall Walk Out

Rest as needed between

Try to go about every 30 seconds or so

You will start with the chest and thighs on the ground at the bottom with the feet against the wall. Walk your feet UP the wall and walk your hands back until your chest touches.

From here you will keep the belly tight and squeeze the cheeks. Pick up one hand at a time and tap the shoulder. Each tap = 1 rep. Complete 6 taps.

Then walk the hands back out and feet down. Keep the belly tight and don't allow the hips to sag!

You may scale to knees or feet on box for the whole sequence!

7 Min
30 Seconds on 30 Seconds Off

Weighted or Non Weighted Hollow SWIM!

For this you can hold LIGHT weight (like 2.5 lbs plates) in each hand OR you can do it with no weight.

You will hold a hollow position with your spine pressed against the ground and shoulders lifted. Point the toes and work to keep the legs straight.

See video for exactly how the arms move but basically they move together to make large circles in a swimming type motion.

You may scale to bent knees or even feet on the ground if you need to!

Move SLOW. Quality over quantity here.

Part 1 - Back and Bis!

4 Rounds NOT FOR TIME

Max Set of Strict Pull Ups
As soon as you drop off
10 Barbell or Dumbbell Bent Over Rows

Rest as needed between sets

Score is total number of strict pull ups. (Do NOT go for a score with the scaled options!!!)

If you choose the option to do this workout without a scale for the pull ups - you should be able to do a minimum of 5 Strict Pull Ups each time.

For these pull ups - they should be strict - with complete extension of the armpit and elbow at the bottom - chin over the bar at the top. They need to be strict - but that doesn't mean super slow or anything.

Scaling options are either 7-10 banded strict pull ups - or 7-10 jump up with a slow negative. Do not exceed those numbers at least for this first session. We want to control the soreness.

As soon as you either can no longer do the regular pull ups - or you complete your 7-10 reps of scaled - you will come over and do either barbell bent over rows or dumbbell bent over rows.

For the barbell you will load it up for men somewhere between 115-185# depending on strength and experience. Ladies between 75-125#. These should be difficult but nowhere near failure and no need to break.

You will keep the back flat and pull the bar to the chest - just below the nipple. Keep the gaze up slightly and belly tight. Pull the elbows back.

If you choose the dumbbell rows - you will not go as heavy - but will do 3 second slow negatives. Men between 50-70# DBs and Women between 30-50# DBs.

Part 2 - Chest and Tris

4 Rounds NOT FOR TIME

Max Dumbbell or Barbell Bench
straight into
Max Set Regular Push Ups

Rest as needed between sets

Score is total number from both movements.

RX Men: 115# Bench
RX Women: 65# Bench

RX+ Men: 135#+
RX+ Women: 85#+

If you cannot complete at least 8-10 bench reps with those weights (for the first round at least) then scale it down a bit. We also don't want you getting more than 15 per round or so either.

Same for the push ups. If you can't get at least 8-10 - go to the knees.

This is not a "girl" push up - it is a scale push up that will lower the amount of your body weight you are pushing up and allow you to do more reps! That is the POINT of this session.

For the bench reps the hands should not be too wide. Just outside the shoulders. Keep the butt on the bench and pull the shoulder blades back and down as you unrack the bar. Do NOT go to failure - especially if you do not have a spot! Be smart. Come all of the way down and lock out completely for each rep!

Once you can no longer complete any of those you will move on to the  push ups.

No rest between MOVEMENTS.

Rest as needed between ROUNDS.

For both - NO sagging or snaking!

Good Luck!

Sotts Press (5 x 3)

From the bottom of the squat you will press the bar up into locked out position to mimic bottom of overhead squat or snatch catch position.

These are not meant to be done super heavy. This is more of a warm up and mobility drill for the catch position for the snatch or for the bottom of your overhead squat. So stick with the same relatively light weight for all 5 sets.

You will place the bar on your back and go down to the bottom of your squat.

From there - with your hands in your snatch or overhead squat grip - you will press the bar straight up into a locked out position right over the center of the body.

Focus on keeping the heels down, the belly tight and driving the armpits forward.

Hold the position for just a second before lowering back down for next rep.

Start with empty bar and only add weight if you feel good. Some of you may have to even start lighter - like with your broomstick - and that's ok.

Pause Overhead Squat (7 x 2)

Go down to the bottom of your overhead squat. Pause for 3 seconds before you stand up.

Get the bar overhead with a grip wide enough that you can stay locked out with it slightly behind your head at the bottom of the squat and even dump it behind you if you need to.

Reach the butt back and down until your butt is all of the way below the knees. Heels should stay down. Fight to keep the chest up and armpits forward. Keep pressing into the bar to keep back and shoulders engaged as well as elbows locked.

Count to 3 in this bottom position before you stand.

Repeat for 1 more rep.

Start somewhat light and add weight each round as possible. If you find a sticky weight - stay there!

Every Min for 10 Min
1 Hang Squat Snatch
+
1 Overhead Squat

This doesn't need to be super heavy. This is more to really take advantage of your body being super primed to find a good catch position after the Sotts Press and the Pause OHS work.

Focus should be more on these being pretty than being heavy today. If you're feeling good, increase load here and there. If not, stay at a weight that allows you to move well.

For the hang squat snatch - use a small dip - drive and then focus on QUICKLY pulling yourself down into a solid overhead squat position.

In fact, pause down there until you are in a good position before standing up. Then perform a second overhead squat.

WORKOUT

Street Parking Vault: Dumbbell "Diecisiete"

Every 2 Min for as long as you can last OR 30 Min...

Run 200 Meters
10 Dumbbell Hang Squat
Clean Thrusters

RX Men: 40# Dumbbells
RX Women: 25# Dumbbells

RX Plus Men: 50#+ Dumbbells
RX Pus Women: 35#+ Dumbbells

Goal: Get to at least 16 minutes (8th Round)

Score: Is total rounds (each 2 minute section is 1 round) completed + reps into the next round.

* Count the 200m run as 2 reps, 1 rep for making it 100m out and 1 rep for getting all the way back

**If you make it 30 Min your score would be 15 Rounds. If you make it 20 full min + the full run and 8 reps into the next minute - your score would be 10 + 10.

Make sure that you adjust the run as needed so that you can complete it in a minute or less. Similarly, choose a load on the hang cluster that you can do all 10 reps unbroken for most if not the whole way.

Set yourself up so that at MINIMUM you can go 8 rounds / 16 minutes. If for some reason, you are unable to make it, turn this into a 16 minute AMRAP and keep working! Put in the last full round completed in the appropriate minutes as your score.

For example, if you were unable to complete all 10 hang clusters in the 12th minute (6th round), keep working until the 16 minute mark but your score would then be 5 because that was the last round you completed according to the time constraints.

For the 200m run, you're working with a minute or less. Shorten the distance as needed to fit the time window.

If unable to run due to space or weather purposes - 1 min double/single unders, low step ups, Mtn Climbers or toe taps to a low target.

The hang squat clean thruster (cluster) will start with the dumbbells at your waist. You will perform a hang squat clean by dipping slightly, standing up hard and fast, shrugging, and pulling down into a squat with the dumbbells landing on the shoulders.

From there you will perform a 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 biceps next to the ears and elbows completely locked out.

After completion of the press, all you have to do is bring the dumbbells back down to the hang (the waist) and start there for your next rep!

If unable to run due to space or weather purposes - 1 min double/single unders, low step ups, Mtn Climbers or toe taps to a low target.

For the hang squat clean thruster - deadlift the bar to the waist. Hinge at the hip slightly and bend the knees. Keep the weight in the heels, arms straight, and chest lifted. Pull the bar in to keep it close to the body. Stand up hard and fast, shrug the shoulders. Pull yourself down under the bar and rotate the elbows around quickly so that you land in the bottom of the squat with the bar on the shoulders.

Heels are down, knees out, butt lower than knees. Keep the chest up, belly tight and back flat. Stand up hard and fast. Drive through the heels and pop the bar off of the shoulders. Move the face out of the way and press straight up.

Finish with a press to lock out with the biceps by the ears at the top! Keep the belly tight! Lower back to the waist for the next rep!

Goal: Get to at least 16 minutes (8th Round)

Score: Is total rounds (each 2 minute section is 1 round) completed + reps into the next round.

* To make this line up with the other versions - count the full bike/row as 2 reps. So if you finish 125 M on the row that's 1 rep. If you finish 8 Cal Bike or 6 Cal Bike you can count that as 1 rep. (This only matters if on your last round if you don't make it all of the way to 30 min).

**If you make it 30 Min your score would be 15 Rounds. If you make it 20 full min + the full row/bike and 8 reps into the next minute - your score would be 10 + 10.

Make sure that you adjust the bike/row as needed so that you can complete it in a minute or less.

Be mindful of the amount of pulling involved if you choose the rowing version. This can really fatigue the biceps so focus on quality movement and active shoulders.

Choose a load on the hang cluster that you can do all 10 reps unbroken for most if not the whole way.

Set yourself up so that at MINIMUM you can go 8 rounds / 16 minutes. If for some reason, you are unable to make it, turn this into a 16 minute AMRAP and keep working! Put in the last full round completed in the appropriate minutes as your score.

For example, if you were unable to complete all 10 hang clusters in the 12th minute (6th round), keep working until the 16 minute mark but your score would then be 5 because that was the last round you completed according to the time constraints.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

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.

GOBLET SQUATS OR THRUSTERS - 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.

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.

SHIFT WORKOUT

Street Parking Vault: SHIFT "DIECISIETE"

10 Rounds

1 Min: Row, Bike, Jog, Taps, Single Unders, Low Step Ups, Single Unders
10 Goblet Squats
10 Press

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

Score: Total Time

Goal: Under 25 Min

For this workout, you will perform 1 minute of row/bike/jog/taps/single unders/low step-ups, 10 goblet squats, and 10 presses for 10 rounds total.

For the first part you will choose from a row, bike, jog, taps, single unders, or low step-ups.

For the Goblet Squat, you will hold the weight at the chest/shoulders. Reach the elbows toward each other to support the weight. 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 or perform an assisted squat!

For the 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 dumbbell(s) all the way down to the shoulders each time.

You may also perform the presses from a seated position as an added challenge!

Deadlift Option: Swap to 12 Alternating Single Leg Deadlifts

Score: Total Number of Completed Rounds + any Additional Reps

Goal: 7-10 Rounds

Each round should take around 1:10-1:35. If you have lighter dumbbells and want to go heavier, try the single leg deadlifts. This will challenge your balance as well and after a couple rounds, they should feel pretty solid!

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, or just prefer to do weighted sit ups, go for it.

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

Mamas, sub with eye level KB/DB swings, ball slams or check the Mama Mods on Members-Only for more options.

For the deadlifts the DBs will start on the ground. Feet are under the hips. Heels are down. Hips and knees are bent. Hands and grip are outside of the legs. Arms are straight. Chest is up. Belly tight. Back flat! To lift the DBs drive your heels into the ground and lift your chest. Keep arms straight, chest up and belly tight as you stand all the way up at the top.

To lower - send your butt back. Keep your chest lifted and belly tight. Keep those heels down. Once the DBs go below your knees, re-bend them and bring the DBs back to the starting position under control. Only one head of each dumbbell needs to touch at the bottom!

For this workout you will want to choose a type/number of double unders that will allow you to finish that part in roughly 30-40 seconds or less each time. Consider lowering the reps to fit that time window or go with dumbbell hop overs, skip overs, or double rep single unders.

Stand all of the way up at the top. Squeeze the butt. Don't lean back.

To lower - reach the butt back and slide bar down the legs. Keep the knees out of the way. Keep the chest lifted and belly tight. Keep those heels down. Once past the knees you will re-bend the knees and bring the bar back to the starting position under control.

9 Sandbag Over Shoulder
24 Double Unders/ Sandbag Hop Overs

Suggested Sandbag Loading:
Men: 50-100#
Women: 25-70#

**Raise or lower sandbag over shoulder reps based on weight of bag and goal score.

Score: Total Number of Completed Rounds + any Additional Reps

Goal: 7-10 Rounds

Choose a number of "over the shoulder" reps you can complete in :40 or less each time. Each round should take around 1:10-1:35.

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, or just prefer to do sandbag toe touches, go for it.

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

Mamas, sub with eye level KB/DB swings, ball slams or check the Mama Mods on Members-Only for more options.

For the sandbag over the shoulder - technique will vary slightly depending on what type of bag you have. BUT - in general you want the bag between your feet. Feet are roughly shoulder width apart with the heels down. Hinge at the hip and bend the knees enough to try and get at least your hands and part of your forearms under the bag. Lift your chest and tighten your belly. Drive through your heels as you lift the bag. Pull it in close to your body. Stand up hard and fast and roll the bag over your torso - finishing over the shoulder. USE THE POWER FROM YOUR LEGS!!!

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 roughly 30 seconds or less each time. Consider lowering the reps to fit that time window or go with dumbbell hop overs, skip overs, or double rep single unders.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

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, Pallof Press, Banded/Wallball Woodchop, Standing Cross Body Wallball Throws, Goblet Hold/Squat, or Waiter Walks. See MAMA MODS MOVEMENT LIBRARY FOR DEMOS.

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.

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 try scaling the number of DUs/SUs down to a number that is realistic for you to practice proper positioning and managing pressure. Any leaking or heaviness in the pelvic floor is a sign that you need to adapt your approach or change the movement to less impact.

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

Lie back under control until your shoulder blades touch the ground then throw your arms forward to come all of the way up 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 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.

If you choose taps, you'll alternate tapping your toes to a DB. Each tap is 1 rep.

You may also choose to do low step ups if jumping or skipping is not an option.

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, Pallof Press, Banded/Wallball Woodchop, Standing Cross Body Wallball Throws, Goblet Hold/Squat, or Waiter Walks. See MAMA MODS MOVEMENT LIBRARY FOR DEMOS.

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.

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 try scaling the number of DUs/SUs down to a number that is realistic for you to practice proper positioning and managing pressure. Any leaking or heaviness in the pelvic floor is a sign that you need to adapt your approach or change the movement to less impact.

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

WARM UP
Lower Body Dumbbell Warm Up
Upper Body Dumbbell Warm Up

WORKOUT

4 Rounds

30 KB/DB Swing
30 Push Up
30 Unweighted Alternating Lunges

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

RX+ Men/Women: 5 Rounds - IF you can complete first 4 rounds UNDER 15 Min ONLY

Score: Total Time

Goal: 13-18 Min

Each round should take 3:15-4:30. Choose a push up variation you can complete 30 reps in at most 4 sets or in 1:30 or less.

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 dumbbell weightless and then (keeping the belly tight) guide the weight all of the way overhead! Allow gravity to bring it back down and back between the legs. Don't allow it to pull you forward. Keep those heels down!

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

For the push up 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.

Keep your elbows within 45 degrees to the body as you 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.

To maintain these good positions throughout, you may need to go from the knees or elevate your hands.

You may perform forward stepping, reverse stepping, or even walking lunges. Make sure you take a long enough step forward with the front leg or backward with the rear leg so that your heel can be down on the front foot when the back knee GENTLY touches the ground. Stand all the way up between reps, bring feet in line with each other and alternate legs with each lunge. So for each set of 30 you end up doing 15 on each side.

Goal: 13-18 Min

How to choose sled weight - should be a jog/walk with little or no breaks for a distance that takes roughly 1 min. Don't need to get too precise with it.

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 dumbbell weightless and then (keeping the belly tight) guide the weight all of the way overhead! Allow gravity to bring it back down and back between the legs. Don't allow it to pull you forward. Keep those heels down!

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

On the push ups, keep your elbows within 45 degrees to the body as you 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.

To maintain these good positions throughout, you may need to go from the knees or elevate your hands.

If you choose 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.

You may perform forward stepping, reverse stepping, or even walking lunges. Make sure you take a long enough step forward with the front leg or backward with the rear leg so that your heel can be down on the front foot when the back knee GENTLY touches the ground. Stand all the way up between reps, bring feet in line with each other and alternate legs with each lunge. So for each set of 30 you end up doing 15 on each side.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

KB SWING - If you notice and 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 a single arm swing!

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.

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.

Idea Weight for Men: 35-55# KB/DB

Score: Time

Goal: 15 Min or Less

The way this one goes is you'll perform 12 swings, followed by 8 push ups, then 12 lunges until 8 rounds are complete.

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. Push the weight back through the legs. Stand up HARD and FAST to make the KB/DB weightless and then (keeping the belly tight) guide the weight to eye level. 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 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 8 reps. It's ok if you need to break them up a bit.

Start in the plank position with the hands just wider than shoulders and butt and thighs squeezed tight. Make sure the elbows go back - 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. Press through the heels of your palms to come all of the way up at the top.

The lunges should be unweighted and alternating. This means you end up doing 6 per leg per round. These may be forward stepping, reverse stepping, or walking lunges.

Make sure you take a long enough step each time that the front heel stays down, with the knee out, when the back knee lightly touches (or comes close). Keep the chest up and drive through the heel of the front foot to stand completely between reps.

If you are unable to lunge, you may swap out single-leg, alternating toe touches (like a single leg deadlift with no weight) - or alternating step ups.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

DB/AIR 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.

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.

Really push the pace on those air squats!! You get to rest before each set so don't hold back!

For these, 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 last part you will choose from a jog/run, row, bike, taps, single unders (jump rope), or low step ups.

Goal: Find your sweet spot. Something you can maintain - but it's tough to do so.

No matter what you are working for 12 minutes. But, at some point you may need to adjust the reps in order to keep going. That's what we want you to do.

Your score will be the last minute at which you were able to complete 6 pull ups and 6 clean & jerks.

Let's say you make it 3 min with 6-6 but then drop to 5-5 in the 4th minute. Your score would be 3 Rounds - but continue to finish the rest of the 9 min with 5-5.

Set yourself up with a rep count that gives you 10-20 seconds of rest between each minute.

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!

The clean AND jerk together counts as 1 rep.

Start with dumbbells on the ground 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!

The feet are under the hips with the heels down, hands outside of the legs and bar close to the body. Knees are bent and there is a hinge at the hips. Drive your heels into the ground to stand. Once past the knee think about finishing UP hard and fast with the legs. Shrug the shoulders and guide the bar UP the body - keeping it close - with the elbows going high and outside as you pull yourself under slightly. Spin the elbows around the bar fast to receive it on your shoulders in a partial dip position with the heels down and chest up.  Stand and re-set or go straight into the jerk.

If you stand you will re-dip - if not you will go straight from that dip position - drive the bar off of the shoulders - move the face back. Push the bar up as you push yourself down! Catch in a partial overhead squat with the heels down, knees out, chest up, and bar locked out over the middle of the body. Stand to finish!

Start with the sandbag on the ground with feet under the hips and heels down. Arms are long and straight. Dip by hinging at the hip slightly and bending the knees. From here, stand up hard and fast. SHRUG to make the sandbag weightless. Pull YOURSELF down into a partial squat. Catch the sandbag on your biceps with the elbows high. Heels down, butt back, knees out, belly tight.

If you are tired, or this starts to feel heavy, you can stand and reset. If you are feeling good - it's more efficient to go straight into the jerk from the catch position of the clean.

Stand up hard and fast to pop the sandbag off of the biceps. Move the face out of the way. Punch the sandbag up as you press yourself back down underneath it. Land with the heels down, knees out, belly tight and the sandbag locked out over the middle of your body. Stand to complete!

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, 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.

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/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.

For this workout, you'll complete 8 rows, 4 hang power cleans, and 4 presses as many times as you can until 10 minutes are over!

For the TRX/ring rows, grab the handles or rings and lie back until your elbows lock out completely. Just remember that the more parallel your body is to the ground - the more difficult these become. You can step forward to make them more challenging or backward to make them more accessible. Keep the body rigid and belly tight - and pull all of the way to your chest at the top. Keep your elbows close to your sides and lock them all the way out at the bottom each time.

For the dumbbell hang power clean, you can hold a single dumbbell at your hips or hold a dumbbell in each hand at the sides. Do a small dip - jump and shrug the shoulders then pull the dumbbell(s) up to the shoulders. The idea here is to think about jumping and then pulling/guiding the dumbbell(s) to your shoulders. Try to not just do bicep curls!

For the overhead 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 in the ears! Then bring the dumbbells all the way down to the shoulders each time.

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, 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.

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/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.
