Ready for Another Round?

Let’s get that heart rate up and adrenaline pumping! We like to move in a number of different ways. While we both favor workouts that build strength, we recognize the importance of balance. What good is lean muscle if you can’t use it to run faster or carry you through that dance class (or a night out on the dance floor, whatever your preference)? When we need a quick burnout, we often turn to AMRAP and EMOM formats. An AMRAP simply means “as many rounds/reps as possible.” You do a set-list of moves as many times as possible in a set amount of time. Do this workout with max intensity for just a short time with little to no break between each round.

AMRAPs also are a great way to keep track of your progress over a period of time which we feel makes it a needed addition to any workout program. Let’s say you turn up your music and aim to push through the workout we’ve listed below and make it through four rounds. Good job! Keep pushing and try it again in a few weeks. Maybe the next time you find yourself making it through five or six rounds with less fatigue. Keep pushing! Eventually, this same workout becomes easier and indicates it’s time to mix it up or add in harder skills. You should always listen to your body and take breaks as needed. What you will find is that over time, you’ll need less rest and you'll be able to keep the intensity up for longer.

Finally, an AMRAP is a great workout for when you have little space or are working out at home. You can knock out four to five exercises just about anyw’s get into it! Check out a video for you to follow and highlight of the four moves below.
