AMRAP

What is AMRAP? AMRAP stands for As Many Rounds as Possible.

This is my favourite type of workout to do because it is such efficient training.  It is high intensity, functional, full body, cardio and conditioning all in one. Usually your AMRAP workout will last 20 minutes and during that time you are to push yourself to the max completing a small circuit of set exercises and reps as quickly as you can.

Some of the benefits of doing AMRAP are:

  • Burns fat
  • Tests your mental toughness
  • Improves your technique under pressure and fatigue
  • Builds strength and conditioning
  • Increases your capacity for working well at a high heart rate
  • Tests your physical limits

 

An example would be 20 minutes of:

10 Box Jumps/10 Burpees/10 Squats/Push Ups/10 Sit Ups

Why not try it and tell us how many rounds you get!
