15 Minute EMOM Workout At Home

EMOM workouts work because they’re structured and efficient: you get built-in rest, steady intensity, and a full-body workout in less time. Perfect if you’re short on time but still want strength and a bit of cardio.

If beginner workouts feel too easy but longer workouts feel like too much… this is your middle ground.

The movements are slow and controlled to help you build strength, improve posture, and move better long-term.

15-Minute EMOM Workout At Home

This home EMOM workout targets your full body using simple, effective movements. It requires minimal equipment but still delivers a solid challenge, though this beginner circuit workout is great too.

How to perform it: Set a timer for 1-minute intervals, complete the reps as quickly as you can (with good form), then rest for the remaining time. The faster you move, the more rest you get.

Continue through the exercises for a total of five rounds.

Exercise Tips

Focus on good form and controlled reps, don’t rush through the movements. That’s what actually makes at-home workouts effective. You don’t need equipment, but a mat can help with comfort.

Curtsy Lunge

• Stand upright in a comfortable position. Step the left foot back and across the line of the left leg.
• Lower the knee toward the floor while hinging slightly at the hips. Keep the foot of the right leg fully on the floor.
• Push through the right foot and return the left foot back to the starting position.

Push-Ups

• Starting position: plank position with your hands in line and ever so slightly wider than your shoulders.
• Squeeze the glutes and ensure the front core muscles are engaged.
• Tuck the elbows back as you lower your body towards the floor keeping the neck neutral.
• Pause briefly at the bottom before reversing the movement and returning to the starting position.

Crossack Squats

1. Stand with your feet much wider than shoulder-width apart. Keep the right leg straight as you push your hips back and start to bend the left leg and sink down.
2. Keep the left foot fully on the ground and aim to touch your bum to the back of your calf. While doing this, the right leg can rotate so that the toe points up.
3. Reverse the movement and come to the top of the position.

Down Dog and Spider Crunch

1. Start in plank position and push yourself back into a down dog position with the hips up.
2. Lift your left leg and begin to round your back and bring your shoulders back over your hands.
3. As you do, bring the knee to the side of the left elbow.
4. Push back into the starting position and repeat on the opposite leg.

How To Make The Workout Harder

If this starts to feel easy, here’s how to make it more intense:

• Increase the reps, so you have less rest each minute
• Slow down your tempo to keep muscles under tension longer
• Reduce your rest by moving more deliberately through each rep
• Use combo exercises (like squat to press) to hit more muscles at once. Check out these combination exercises to help.

Small tweaks can make a big difference in intensity without needing more time. Need more? Learn how to make workouts more intense at home.
