BEGINNER | MINUTE BY MINUTE

Today's workout is a bodyweight 30-min EMOM (Every Minute on the Minute) and it's perfect for our newer athletes to get more familiar with EMOM pacing while building a stronger self. EMOM's are a great way to stay present in your workout (instead of zoning out and gutting through it). The workout consists of 5 simple movements, and you'll complete it over 6 total rounds.

No equipment is required for today beyond a workout timer app, a mat, some water, and some space to move around in. You'll set your timer and get started on the first exercise - in this case, squats. You'll complete your rep count and then rest for the remainder of the minute before moving on to the next exercise.

Always focus on good form over speed!

EQUIPMENT YOU NEED:

  • WOD Timer app with EMOM function 

NOTES

  • Modify where necessary. Everyone starts somewhere!
  • Safety over speed. Focus on good form first. Better skill will follow.

REMINDER:

  • Soft count: 1, 2, 3, 4 ... this is when both (or all) limbs perform the exercise at the same time.
  • Hard count: 1,1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4...this is when only one limb does work at a time.
  • Each Side: Do all reps on one side before switching to complete all reps on the other side.

  • 1st EMOM in many years and now I remember why they’re a fun way to kick your own rear end. Format that let’s you decide how hard you wanna go & how much rest you want between sets. Thanks Amy!
