Rothstein Explains EMOM Workouts

The consumer health site VeryWell featured insight from Alexander Rothstein, M.S., coordinator and instructor for the Exercise Science program, in an article about Every Minute on the Minute (EMOM) workouts. Rothstein explains that these high-intensity interval training sessions involve performing a specific exercise or series of exercises for a set number of repetitions or a predetermined time within a minute. The remaining time within that minute is used for rest before the cycle repeats, providing a challenging cardio session in a shorter timeframe.

“EMOM essentially allows people to pace themselves within their given exercise prescription [in whichever way] they feel it is most efficient for them to perform, but it also keeps the workout and rest intervals within sufficient limits to provide a high-intensity workout,” says Rothstein.
