EMOM For as Long as Possible
1 Rep in the first minute
2 Rep in the second minute
3 Rep in the third minute
etc.
Choose any single movement. Then, each minute on the minute (EMOM), starting at the top of the minute, with 1 repetition in minute 1, complete one more repetition per minute each subsequent minute (2 reps from 1:00-2:00, 3 reps from 2:00-3:00, etc.). Continue until you can no longer complete the number of reps prescribed in under a minute. Good Luck!
