3 Reasons to Include ‘EMOM’ in Your Workouts
An EMOM is a workout structure where you do a specific number of repetitions at the start of every minute for a designated period. The remainder of the minute is your rest time. For example, a 10-minute EMOM might call for 10 push-ups at the start of each minute.
Here are three reasons to add EMOM workouts into your routine:
-
Get More Done in Less Time:
EMOM workouts can be shorter than traditional workouts while still being effective. In fact, you can often get a great workout in just 20-30 minutes by incorporating EMOMs into your routine. This is especially beneficial for those with busy schedules who want to maximize their workout time. -
Improve Your Work Capacity:
The nature of EMOM workouts challenges your body to adapt and improve your work capacity. Over time, you’ll be able to do more reps in less time, increasing your overall fitness level. As you progress, you can increase the difficulty of your EMOMs by increasing the number of reps or shortening the rest period. -
Add Variety to Your Routine:
EMOM workouts can be easily tailored to any fitness level and can incorporate a wide variety of exercises, from strength training to cardiovascular workouts. This versatility allows you to keep your workouts fresh and engaging, helping you avoid workout plateaus and boredom.
If you’re ready to include EMOMs in your workout routine, consider starting with this sample workout:
-
10-Minute EMOM: 10 Push-ups, 10 Squats, 10 Burpees. Repeat for 10 minutes, resting the remainder of the minute after completing your reps.
