Sometimes we need a workout that combines a little cardio and strength training for those days when time isn’t on our side – and this 25-minute workout from Joe Bronston ticks both these boxes. The workout follows an EMOM format, forcing you to work hard every minute, while its compound exercises help to build full-body strength while keeping your heart rate high throughout.

Peloton says: “EMOM workouts can build strength, lean muscle mass, and reduce body fat by increasing one’s metabolism.” However, this particular EMOM also reaps the benefits of peripheral heart action training (PHAT), which is where you alternate between upper-body and lower-body exercises.
