Building strength takes time, something we don’t all have. But just because you may not be able to dedicate an hour to a full-blown strength session, it doesn’t mean you should skimp on training altogether. In fact, you’re better off doing a little of something than nothing at all. This ‘AMRAP’ workout is perfect for when you’re stuck in this situation as it’ll only take you 12 minutes, but will help build up your full-body strength. All you need is a pair of dumbbells.
‘AMRAP’ stands for ‘as many rounds as possible’ and it’s a popular workout structure in CrossFit. It’s where you’re given a list of exercises and a set time with the aim to try and complete as many rounds within that time frame. Not only does it make for a quick and effective workout where you get a lot of bang for your buck, but it also minimises the amount of rest you take in between each exercise.
