Chapter 1: Understanding Time Constraints
In today's fast-paced world, many of us struggle to find spare moments in our hectic schedules. Each minute counts, and often, we rush through our days—from sipping morning coffee to checking emails—only to realize it’s already bedtime. The essence of time management lies in prioritizing what truly matters. As highlighted in my previous article, emphasizing exercise in your daily routine is crucial. Fortunately, there’s a straightforward method to enhance your workout efficiency: the EMOM.
Section 1.1: What is EMOM?
EMOM, or Every Minute on the Minute, is a highly regarded interval training format, especially within the HIIT and CrossFit communities. The beauty of EMOM is its simplicity; all you need is a timer, which can easily be set on your phone. The approach is straightforward: at the beginning of each minute, perform a specific exercise for a set number of repetitions. For instance, during the first minute, you might do 10 push-ups. You must finish your 10 push-ups within the 60 seconds allotted, and any time left before the next minute begins is your rest period. After the minute concludes, switch to a new exercise and continue this pattern. If you can spare just 10 minutes, you could complete 5 different exercises over 2 rounds and be done!
