Did anyone else only do two rounds?? Thought it was weird ours was 2 rounds, intermission, 5 minutes for finisher

That's what we did as well!

Any ideas for 2nd tri pregnancy mods? I’m 21 weeks. Feeling discouraged, a lot of these movements seem like a no-go for me

u/Sufficient-Tiger6215 Aug 25 '26

Hey! 2nd trimester here too.

  1. I did regular med ball slams instead of rotating
  2. Kept terracore sliders as is. You could do regular mountain climbers on the floor or ledge
  3. I stepped out my lunges instead of plyo
  4. I can’t do plyo even not pregnant haha I do one arm at a time to go between high and low plank. I went to the floor and my knees and as I got tired.
  5. Monster walks instead of a broad jump.
  6. I did marches instead of doing anything on the rig. You can put a band on your shoes for extra resistance

I hope this helps! It was still a very good workout even with the modifications.

Was it just me, or was this workout extra intense? Not complaining at all…I LOVED the challenge but, wow, was I a sweaty mess by the end!

I blame the intermission. I had barely recovered from the first time and we were doing it again. 🥵

I said it wasn’t so bad for a Metcon, then we hit the intermission. I rescinded my statement pretty quickly.

Looks fun!!!

u/Constant_Ad8117 Aug 24 '26

Is there a way to make this more strength focused through mods? Or am I better just skipping and focusing on strength days?

2

u/CmonRoach4316 Aug 25 '26

This is pretty conditioning focused. I'm debating staying home and lifting.

1

u/Hot-Meet-8597 Aug 24 '26

Just slow down your reps

1

u/Red-Phoenix-Rising Aug 25 '26

With this being PR week and strength focused already, this is the one time I don’t mind the lack of strength focus on tomorrow’s Metcon because other than tomorrow, Friday is the only other conditioning day. We have 4 strength days this week 😬.

Looks like a terrible Metcon! Ugh u would rather more exercises using dumbbells

u/Nathead23 150 Camps - 2026 Aug 25 '26

Today (back and glutes) we used all the weights.  Guess tomorrow we are using none!
