What is an EMOM Timer and How to Use It for Fitness

What Does EMOM Mean?

EMOM stands for "Every Minute on the Minute." It's a type of interval training where you perform a specific exercise at the start of every minute for a set amount of time. The remaining time within that minute is your rest period.

For example, an EMOM workout might look like this:

Workout: 10 push-ups every minute for 10 minutes.
Minute 1: You do 10 push-ups. If it takes you 20 seconds, you get 40 seconds of rest.
Minute 2: At the start of the next minute, you do another 10 push-ups.
...and so on for 10 minutes.

The Benefits of EMOM Training

Pacing and Endurance: EMOM workouts teach you to manage your effort over time. As you get tired, the rest periods get shorter, forcing you to work on your endurance.
Measurable Progress: It's easy to track your progress. If you can complete the same workout with more rest time, or increase the reps within the minute, you know you're getting fitter.
Versatility: You can use the EMOM protocol for almost any exercise, from strength training to cardio.

How to Use Our EMOM Timer

Our EMOM Timer is designed to make this training style simple - similar to how the Pomodoro Technique structures work intervals. Here's how to use it:

Set Your Total Time: Decide how long you want the workout to last (e.g., 10 minutes).
Set Your Interval: This will almost always be 1 minute.
Press Start: The timer will beep at the beginning of each minute, signaling you to start your exercise.
