Lately, I've been experimenting with different EMOM workout ideas.
Today, I want to show you how to program the perfect EMOM workout. EMOMS are one of the most effective training protocols for getting your clients quick and noticeable results.
The problem is setting a rep target that challenges all ability levels equally can be difficult. If you set the reps to low, the EMOM workout becomes too easy. If you set the reps too high, the EMOM workout becomes too hard.
If you take the time to programme your EMOM workout ideas correctly, you can make outstanding progress with your clients in a short space of time and give them the results they came for.
This week is the release of E3MOM!
E3MOM is a set of high-intensity interval training templates (EMOM workout ideas) that allow you to programme your workouts for maximum results.
Think about it. If you can get your clients quick and noticeable results, that’s what you’ll be known for, and the referrals will come in.
What I’m saying is, you can (and should) build your business off client testimonials. These EMOM workout ideas are designed to help you do just that.
Design Your EMOM Workout Ideas The Right Way By Setting The Perfect Rep Target
The best way to design your EMOM workout ideas is to set the correct rep target from the get-go. And the great news is, with what I'm about to show you, you can do this is a group setting made up of different ability levels.
Here's an example.
List 5 EMOM exercises on your whiteboard along with a rep range from low to high (I.e. 10-45). Let’s start with the first exercise, which is kettlebell swings. The first thing you’re going to do is conduct a warm-up set so players can gauge their rep target (number of reps per minute) during the EMOM.
Round 1: Kettlebell swings
Have players complete kettle-bell swings for 40 seconds and ask them to count their reps. After a short rest, carry out the following challenge. Players are going to complete their rep target (what they scored in the warm-up set) every minute on the minute for 10 minutes.
Each player's goal is to maintain their rep target during each minute, for example. If you complete 30 swings in the warm-up set, you would complete 30 swings every minute on the minute for 10 minutes.
The reason the warm-up set is conducted for 40 seconds is to give players a recovery period during each minute of the challenge. Once the round is over, rest for 3 minutes.
Complete 5 rounds in total, and after each round, switch to the next exercise. Each round (including the warm-up set, a 1-minute break after the warm-up set, and a 3-minute break after the round is complete) comes to 15 minutes.
Complete up to 5 rounds: Use these EMOM workout ideas as a quick finisher drill, or create a full-length workouts
- Complete 1 round using the first exercise = 15 minutes
- Complete 2 rounds using the first 2 exercises = 30 minutes
- Complete 3 rounds using the first 3 exercises = 45 minutes
- Complete 4 rounds using the first 4 exercises = 60 minutes
- Complete 5 rounds using the first 5 exercises = 1 hour 15 minute
A Flexible Approach To Designing Powerful EMOM Workout Ideas
Although players have a rep target to hit within each minute of activity, it doesn't mean they will always hit it. If players struggle to hit their target during each exercise, they can (and should) move down to the next rep target, which becomes the new goal. If players find it to be easy, they can move up to the next rep target.
This flexible approach of conducting an EMOM workout means that each player (regardless of their ability) can work close to their best.
What you’ll find is that players will be super determined not to drop down to the next rep target. If you have your own EMOM workout Ideas, you can quickly implement this strategy by creating a rep target from low to high, as I showed you.
Record Your Progress
During the challenge, players need to record their progress so they can see how they’re performing week to week, for example. In the first exercise (swings), the player's score might look something like this.
- Min 1: 30 reps
- Min 2: 30 reps
- Min 3: 30 reps
- Min 4: 30 reps
- Min 5: 30 reps
- Min 6: 30 reps
- Min 7: 26 reps
- Min 8: 26 reps
- Min 9: 22 reps
- Min 10: 22 reps
- Min 11: 22 reps
- Min 12: 22 reps
The next time you repeat the workout, players attempt to beat their scores within each exercise. This type of self-competition is excellent motivation to train hard and beat personal bests.
