Athletic Strength EMOM (20 min)

20 minKettlebell
Start this EMOM →

A 20-minute EMOM cycling through 5 movements. Complete each exercise at the top of its minute and rest for whatever time remains. All you need is a kettlebell.

The Workout

  • Minute 1: 8 Box Step-Ups
  • Minute 2: 6 DB Push Press
  • Minute 3: 6 Pull-ups or Rows
  • Minute 4: 10 KB Swings
  • Minute 5: 20 Flutter Kicks

Tips

  • Complete all reps before the minute ends - that gap is your rest.
  • If you have less than 10 seconds per minute, reduce reps by 2–3 and rebuild from there.
  • Hip hinge mechanics matter - especially on swings and deadlifts. A rounded lower back under load is how injuries happen.
  • Start lighter than you think you need to. Kettlebell EMOMs accumulate fast - what feels easy in minute 2 is hard in minute 10.
  • Chalk your hands if high-rep swings or snatches are tearing them up. Grip fatigue adds up quickly.
