Double Cardio & Core EMOM #2 (At Home, No Equipment)
As I’ve mentioned before, one of my favourite workout styles is where you repeat yourself over and over again. I have no doubt that to many of you this sounds terrible, but let me explain why these workouts are fab, both for you body and mind!
It’s simple. There’s no overthinking it, no confusion, nothing changes.
It’s a great way to challenge yourself by comparing your time or reps on each round. If you perform better at the end compared to the beginning, it’s an amazing feeling.
Today’s workout is one of the best examples of this - a Double Cardio & Core EMOM (Every Minute On the Minute).
Target: cardio, core, legs
Level: intermediate - advanced
Equipment: a timer and your kick-ass self
Fun: hellz to the yea!
Rules:
Two separate EMOMs, for 5 minutes each (do more or less depending on how much time you have).
EMOM = Every Minute On the Minute
Set a 1-minute timer, or use an interval app and set 5x 1-minute intervals.
This is much easier with an interval timer.
I use Tabata Pro.
Goal = finish the exercise and reps listed in under a minute. When you do, you get a break until the next minute starts. When the next minute starts, you repeat the same thing. If you do 5 minutes, that means 5 rounds. Makes sense?
All jumping exercises can be modified to low intensity by turning the jump into a step.
