HIIT Workouts

8 Butt-Kicking Burpees + 16 Minute EMOM Workout

Fight burpee boredom with these 8 butt-kicking burpee variations which can be turned into an efficient, 16-minute total body EMOM workout.

A workout made entirely out of burpees…YES, I went there. But these aren’t just any burpees, no; these are 8 butt-kicking variations of burpees. 

Call me crazy, but I love burpees. They engage almost every major muscle group in the body, strengthen the core, and get your heart rate up. Now that’s efficiency.

I’m all about efficient workouts, especially since I’ve become a mom. As a new mom, I’ve also become a lot more flexible with what ‘a workout’ looks like. Some days I only have 10-15 minutes to workout, and that’s ok; especially if I’m doing this burpee workout.

So if you’re having a day where you only have a short window of time to sweat, I challenge you to turn these 8 butt-kicking burpee variations into a seriously challenging 8 or 16 minute EMOM {every minute on the minute} workout. See below for full details. 

I promise you’ll feel like a total rockstar when you’re done, after you catch your breath of course!

You can also add these burpee variations to my other HIIT workouts {like my yoga + HIIT workout or 30-minute no running cardio workout}. 

How long should a HIIT Workout be?

Good news if you’re short on time: the ideal HIIT workout should actually be 30 minutes or less. The goal of HIIT is to be working out at maximum intensity — which means you shouldn’t be able to maintain the level of exertion for long periods of time.

What is an EMOM Workout?

An EMOM Workout, or an Every Minute On The Minute Workout, is a type of interval training. Essentially, at the start of every minute, you’ll complete a specified number of repetitions, and rest for the remainder of the minute. Your rest periods end up being longer or shorter based on how quickly you complete the exercise!

For this workout, you’ll set a timer for 1-minute intervals. At the start of the first minute, you complete the specified number of repetitions {10 reps}. Then rest for the remaining time left in the minute. At the start of the second minute, complete the specified number of repetitions of the second exercise {10 reps}. Then rest for the remaining time left in the second minute. Repeat this format for the rest of the workout.

What are the benefits of EMOM Workouts?

EMOM workouts are great for building strength and increasing cardiovascular endurance. They’re also great if you struggle to stay motivated during workouts — they’re mentally-stimulating and go fast! The faster you finish your reps, the more rest time you get, which is a great motivation to really push yourself during the sets!
