**Set Interval App to: 1 min work time, 0s rest, 4 total rounds for Phase 3**
Perform the following 3 Movements for 10 Reps in a Circuit for 4 Rounds. The Goal is to complete the 3 Movements in 1 Minute. Regardless if finished, start from the top on the next Round.

- Mountain Climbers – 10 Each Side: *Educate here about Core Stability *Modify with Standing for those with Core Imbalances *Keep Belly in for added Stability – Breathe rhythmically
- Body Weight Squats – 10: *Hinge from Hips *Inhale with rib cage expansion/belly relaxed on the way down and exhale, drawing in of the belly and Kegel contraction (squeeze & lift of pelvic floor – should feel bladder & sphincter engaging) on the way up
WOD: Perform the following 7 Exercises in a Circuit for 30s each with 10s Rest for 4 Rounds.
*Set Gym Boss or Interval App to: 30s Work, 10s Rest, 28 Sets, 0s Transition Time after Completing each Round*
**Heart Rate Monitor Zone: 3-5. Get the heart rate up during this time to an anaerobic zone (non-conversational intensity). Zones 4-5 are generally anaerobic zones. Zone 3 is an741-741 aerobic zone. Encourage clients to work in zones 4 & 5 for 10 minutes or more as tolerated**

- KB/DB/Weighted Object Deadlift High Pull: *Feet Shoulder Width > Toes Out *Ideally deadlift starts and ends on ground each rep but with a DB this will be tough- you can raise the ground to make it easier on your back if using dumbells *Before lifting weight, make sure Shoulders are packed – Teach to respect load *Eyes straight ahead *High Hips – Not a Squat *Flat Back *Maintain Shin Angle *Squeeze butt at end range each Rep *Bring Hands to approximately Shoulder Height *Average weight for females is 25 lbs. *Cue to go Up Fast in 1 count & Down Slow in 2 Counts: Bring weight down first so Arms are Straight (1st count) and then Hinge & Lower Weight (2nd Count) *Modify with Body Weight Squats or Remove High Pull *Inhale on the way down and exhale, with Kegel contraction (squeeze & lift of pelvic floor – should feel bladder & sphincter engaging) on the way up – Keep Belly in for added Stability
