Working out is something that I have done for my entire adult life. I do not have training in creating workouts, but have learned what works best for myself, from my own personal experience. I have done everything from training for races/competitions, using equipment at the gym, traditional workout classes, boot camps, Crossfit and Beachbody programs. Having a workout option thatI can do at home or while traveling is a must for my life. One of my favorite ways to create a workout is by doing an EMOM = Every Minute On the Minute. This simply means at the beginning of the minute one of the movements is started. I am going to teach you how to create an EMOM workout.
****Anything I talk about regarding fitness and nutrition, comes from my own personal experience, please consult with a doctor or professional before starting an exercise or nutrition routine!
How to Create and EMOM workout
1.Figure out how long you want to work out for:
For this example, I will use 15 minutes, but you can use any amount of time, it is completely customizable for your situation and schedule.
2.Pick out the movements/exercises you want to do:
- Jumping jacks from 00:00- 00:45 then transition to…
- Squats from 01:00-01:45 then transition to…
- Sit-ups from 02:00-02:45 then transition to…
- Your first round is done, now go back up to the top and repeat!!
- Since this workout is 15 minutes and I picked 3 movements, you will go through it 5 times
Some things that have helped me when picking out movements and order:
- Having a mixture of cardio, weighted (this includes body weight as well), & abs works best for us
- Space movements out so that there are not similar ones back-to-back, like 2 ab movements
- Writing out the movements on a whiteboard or piece of paper, a regular timer/clock works but a timer app is super helpful for EMOM workouts. It will alert when time to transition and then start the next movement
- There is an app called “Tabata pro” that lets you set a work time and transition/rest time. It works really well for EMOM workouts
3.Workout set up
- If any equipment is needed get it set up
- If you have a workout partner or partners figure out if you want to do all the moves at the same time, or start at a different spot
4.Music-
- Pick something that gets you excited. Music can make a big difference!
5. Get started!
