Show Notes
We have discussed workout acronyms before on this podcast. EMOM stands for Every minute On The Minute. This means that the athlete starts at the top of the minute and completes a task, for example, 15 burpees. If this takes 30 seconds to complete the athlete has 30 seconds of rest before having to start again with another 15 burpees. This would be an example of a single movement in the EMOM format.
To offer some variety and to possible work in teams of 2, you can also incorporate an Alternate EMOM or ALT EMOM workout. An example of this would be 15 burpees, 15 Row calories. One athlete can do burpees while the other can do the row. They will switch at the top of each minute and continue for a period of time designated.
You can do this with any 2 exercises. To find your reps, test the exercise on the clock. You are looking for the reps that you can complete in 30 - 40 seconds when fresh. Combine that with another exercise that you tested as well. Set the time you want to go and hit it.
