Instructions

Each exercise in the main workout is performed for 40 seconds, followed by 20 seconds of rest. Move immediately to the next exercise at the top of the next minute. Complete 5 rounds for a total of 25 minutes. For the finisher, complete all 100 reps of the push to run as quickly as possible with good form. Focus on smooth transitions and maintaining effort throughout the entire workout.

Tips

Maintain a steady, controlled pace during each EMOM minute. Don't start too fast; aim for consistency.

Focus on your breathing. Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth to regulate your heart rate.

Listen to your body. If you need to scale an exercise, opt for a slightly slower pace or fewer repetitions to maintain good form.
