Strength training can be challenging, especially if you follow traditional methods, highly focused only on lifting weight. At EVO, we welcome every fitness approach, but we favour a full-body approach.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s why we came up with this 12-min functional <\/strong>AMRAP for strength<\/strong> <\/strong>session. AMRAP stands for As Many Reps or Rounds As Possible<\/strong>. This session consists of 5 exercises<\/strong> to be performed within 12 minutes<\/strong>. Today’s session will focus on rounds<\/strong> since each exercise has a pre-established set of reps<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Dumbbell swing x15 <\/li>
  2. Dumbbell lunge x12<\/li>
  3. Push-up x9 <\/li>
  4. Deadlift row x6 <\/li>
  5. Devil press x3<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Let’s get stronger! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
