The acronym stands for As Many Rounds or Reps as possible.

An AMRAP workout works like this: You have a certain number of reps of each exercises to complete in every set before moving onto the next. Once you have completed all the sets you go back to the start and begin again. That counts as one round.

The aim is to perform either as many reps and rounds in the given time. Between the rounds you can take little breaks but they shouldn’t be too long, since time is limited. The aim is intensity. AMRAPS are scored by the number of reps and / or rounds you completed in the time frame.

Most AMRAPS tend to be between 5 – 30 minutes long, but there are many exceptions.

AMRAPS ARE A GREAT WAY TO:

• Burn fat
• Test your mental toughness
• Improve your technique under pressure and fatigue
• Build strength and conditioning
• Increase your capacity for working well at a high heart rate
• Testing your physical limits

When we perform AMRAP WODs we want to keep these things in mind:

• Pacing
• Breaking up sets
• Controlling our Breathing
