It’s finally February, Community Fitness Club! Let’s get the month started with a 20 minute EMOM (“Every Minute On the Minute”). For today’s workout, you’ll perform 12 handstand push-ups in the first minute, 16 dumbbell box step-ups in the second minute, 40 mountain climbers in the third minute, a 15/12 calorie row in the fourth minute, and then you’ll rest for the fifth minute. You’ll then repeat this sequence 3 more times until the 20 minutes are over.
Consider doing a test round of today’s EMOM during your warm-up. If it takes you more than 45 seconds to complete any set, modify either the movement or the number of repetitions performed. You’ll only get slower as the workout progresses, so pick a scaling option that you can maintain throughout the whole WOD!
If you are an experienced athlete and feel capable, please perform the following WOD:
Experienced:
20 minute EMOM:
Minute 1: 12 handstand push-ups
Minute 2: 16 dumbbell box step-ups (50lb, 35lb), (24in., 20in.)
Minute 3: 40 mountain climbers (each leg counts as 1 rep)
Minute 4: 15/12 calorie row
Minute 5: rest
Beginners can modify both the movements and the rep scheme today. A beginner’s version of today’s workout could look like this:
Scaled 1:
20 minute EMOM:
Minute 1: 10 seated dumbbell presses (5lb, 3lb)
Minute 2: 14 dumbbell box step-ups to a comfortable height (10lb, 8lb)
Minute 3: 20 mountain climbers (each leg counts as 1 rep)
Minute 4: 10/8 calorie row
Minute 5: rest
Perhaps something between the experienced version and the beginner version of the WOD is right for you today. Another variation of today’s WOD might look like this:
Scaled 2:
20 minute EMOM:
Minute 1: 12 box handstand push-ups or 6 handstand push-ups
Minute 2: 16 dumbbell box step-ups to a comfortable height (30lb, 20lb)
Minute 3: 30 mountain climbers (each leg counts as 1 rep)
Minute 4: 12/10 calorie row
Minute 5: rest
Please listen to your body, and pick the version of the workout that is right for you. You can always adjust mid-WOD if you find that the modifications you’ve picked are too easy or too difficult.
