Lower Body Strength EMOMs
17/1705 – Lower Body Strength EMOMs
This workout serves as Day 7 of our Beyond the Build with Brian 10-Day Challenge, but can be used as a standalone workout anytime!
Hey Team!
We are at day 7 already! Today, we have a Lower Body Strength EMOM (Every Minute on the Minute) workout. This workout is designed to target your lower body muscles and focus on strength and endurance through a series of EMOM blocks.
Equipment needed:
– Dumbbells (Light, Medium, Heavy)
– Mat (Optional)
EMOMs are one of my favorite training methods because they keep you focused and engaged. They push you to complete a set number of reps within each minute, allowing you to rest for the remainder of the time. This format keeps your intensity high and your workout efficient. Training lower body EMOMs helps build strength and power and really works on our cardio with constant moving between rounds. This is why we have two EMOMS in this 10-day challenge.
The main workout is divided into three EMOM sets, each lasting 8 minutes and targeting different aspects of lower body strength. By challenging yourself with a mix of compound and isolation exercises, you’ll not only work our muscular endurance but also work on our muscle growth and strength gains. Remember to focus on maintaining proper form, pacing yourself throughout each EMOM set, and listening to your body’s cues.
With just three days left in our challenge, let’s stay motivated and keep pushing forward. Each workout brings us closer to the end. Stay focused, give it your best, and remember that every rep counts. Remember, team, we are in this together!
