Welcome to “Parents Express”

This program is meant for those short in time and still want to get fit.

I personally used this program when my first child was born and long training sessions were not an option.

Each session is planned to be completed within 30 minutes.

The program will show you 5 sessions per week for those who can squeeze those 30 min 5 times a week. If you can only do 3 times, no stress.

Every 6 minutes for 3 rounds: 500 meters row 30 wall balls (9/6 kg) 10 power snatches Scaling options: Rx: 40/30 kg power snatches Intermediate: 35/25 kg power snatches Scaled: 30/20 kg power snatches Fitness: 10 High KB swings Notes: We are looking for a weight in the snatches that allows us to go unbroken or maybe break them in 2 sets. Be smart on how to split the wall balls. Maybe you can risk going unbroken, but make sure you have some energy for the barbell. Scale the wall balls if it takes you more than 2 minutes in the first round. Substitutions: 500 meters row: 500m ski, 400m run, 1000m C2 bike, 40/30 cal ECHO/Assault bike
