EMOM stands for Every minute on the minute, a fitness and exercise abbreviation.

Interval format in which an exercise or set starts at the top of each minute, and the time left in that minute is rest. A 10-minute EMOM of five deadlifts means ten sets of five.

Example: EMOM 12: odd minutes 12 kettlebell swings, even minutes 10 burpees.

Usage notes

Also written E1MOM; variations such as E2MOM (every two minutes) allow heavier work. The format builds work capacity while controlling rest precisely. Pronounced "EE-mom".
