The “E-MOM’s Day” Workout Breakdown
This workout consists of a series of exercises performed in the EMOM style. Each exercise targets different muscle groups, ensuring a comprehensive full-body workout that enhances muscular endurance and cardiovascular fitness:
- Kettlebell Swings: Start each minute with kettlebell swings to engage your core, hips, glutes, and shoulders, improving your explosive power and endurance.

Tips to Excel in the “E-MOM’s Day” Workout
- Hydrate Properly: Keep yourself hydrated throughout the workout, as EMOM sessions can be intensely taxing and dehydrating.
- Manage Your Pace: While the goal is to maximize the number of reps in each minute, it’s crucial to manage your pace to ensure consistency and endurance throughout the entire workout.
- Focus on Form: Rapid transitions between exercises can lead to a breakdown in form; prioritize technique over speed to get the most from each exercise and prevent injuries.
- Rest Efficiently: Utilize the remaining seconds of each minute to catch your breath and prepare for the next exercise, ensuring you can maintain intensity from start to finish.
