EMOM means every minute on the minute. You start the assigned work at the beginning of each interval, then rest for whatever time remains before the next round starts.

How long should an EMOM workout be?

Common EMOM workouts last 10 to 20 minutes. Beginners often start with 8 to 10 rounds, while experienced athletes may use 15 to 30 rounds depending on the movements.

Can an EMOM interval be longer than one minute?

Yes. Although one-minute intervals are classic, coaches sometimes use 90-second, 2-minute, or longer intervals for heavier lifts, skill work, or partner workouts.
