In an ideal world, many of us would like to hit the gym for an hour or two, with a decent warm-up, a well-thought-out workout and a gentle cool down. But life doesn’t always allow the time for that. In these circumstances we need something that’s quick and effective: enter the AMRAP workout. This speedy 12 minute session won’t just get your heart racing, but your muscles pumped too. Just grab two dumbbells and we suggest your gym water bottle too.
If you don’t already know, AMRAP stands for ‘as many rounds as possible’, and it’s where you try and work through as many exercises as you can until the clock runs out. As you can imagine, this style of workout gets your heart racing, burning lots of calories in the process, but by also throwing some weights into the equation, it’s going to torch your muscles too.
