AMRAP is a popular fitness style. It stands for “As Many Reps as Possible.” The aim of an AMRAP is to perform a specific set of exercises in the designated time frame for as many reps/rounds as you can manage. An AMRAP often involves a high-intensity conditioning workout to build and challenge muscular endurance, cardiovascular fitness, and strength.

AMRAPs are an ideal workout for all athletes and gym goers, as they can easily be adapted to suit the individual. Each portion of the workout, including time, intensity, load, and exercise selection, can be altered to accommodate your needs, goals, and preferences. You can add some cushioning on the push ups by getting Gym Mats for Home.

Heavier Reps for Fewer Rounds vs Lighter Reps for More Rounds
