We will close out this week with a 12 minute EMOM. EMOM stands for “Every Minute on the Minute.” In today’s workout, you will perform a Superman hold in the first minute, a wall sit in the second minute, a handstand hold in the third minute, and a dead hang in the fourth minute. This will continue for 3 rounds until the 12 minutes are up. Please pick an amount of time to hold each movement that is appropriate for how you feel today.
If you are an experienced athlete and feel capable, please perform the following WOD as prescribed (Rx). All holds should be unbroken.
Rx:
12 minute EMOM:
Minute 1: 40 second Superman hold
Minute 2: 40 second wall sit
Minute 3: 40 second handstand hold
Minute 4: 40 second dead hang
Beginners can shorten the amount of time they hold each movement. The holds can also be broken into multiple sets. A beginner’s version of today’s workout could look like this:
Scaled 1:
12 minute EMOM:
Minute 1: 20 second Superman hold
Minute 2: 20 second wall sit
Minute 3: 20 second downward-facing dog hold
Minute 4: 20 second dead hang
Perhaps something between the Rx version and the beginner version of the WOD is right for you today. The holds can be performed broken or unbroken. Another variation of today’s WOD might look like this:
Scaled 2:
12 minute EMOM:
Minute 1: 30 second Superman hold
Minute 2: 30 second wall sit
Minute 3: 30 second handstand hold against a wall or on a box
Minute 4: 30 second dead hang
