July 2016: Programming for the Pregnant Athlete (7)

July 12

Warm Up


Posture and Awareness. Use the mantra above to flow with your breath today. Inhale (I am) and exhale (woman). Do the same for I am strong. Do each phrase for a minimum of 10 breaths. You may be standing or seated.


The Functional Progression- go through the full progression 5-10 reps. Then, let’s spend some time to focus on Part 3 . Complete 10-15 reps of each level becoming more comfortable and aware of the movement and then 10-20 extra reps at Part 3.

For Quality

3 Rounds:

20 Banded Pull-Aparts

10 Inverted Rows

60s Chest Opener

Strength


You want to be warmed up for this particular drill. You want to be at 50% of 1RM or a weight that you feel like you could do for 10 reps. You are doing 9 sets of 3 every 45 seconds. Please alternate between narrow, wide, and conventional grip.


9 x 3 Incline Bench

Conditioning


This is designed to get you moving at about 60-70% intensity and stay moving. There is no bursts of power like yesterday’s training. Be intentional with movement. The front rack lunges can be done with a barbell, dumbbells, or kettlebells. Please choose a weight that you could do at least the first two rounds unbroken, without taking a break in the middle. For the overhead carry, use a plate or two dumbbells or two kettlebells. Obviously, a plate will be easier than two dumbbells, but it’s up to you and your energy level todayJ You make this as hard or not-so hard as you want.


6 Rounds

50’ Front Rack Walking Lunge

100’ Overhead Carry Walk

Accessory


2 Rounds

50 Banded Tricep Extensions

20 Dumbbell Side Obliques (10 each)
