Common Questions

What is a good beginner AMRAP?

A classic beginner AMRAP: 8-minute AMRAP of 5 push-ups, 10 air squats, 15 jumping jacks. Simple movements, short duration, achievable for any fitness level. Track your rounds and try to beat it next time.

How long should a beginner AMRAP be?

Start with 8–12 minutes. Shorter AMRAPs allow beginners to maintain higher relative intensity without the aerobic base required for 20-minute sessions. Progress to longer AMRAPs over 4–8 weeks.

What movements should beginners avoid in AMRAPs?

Avoid complex barbell movements (cleans, snatches), high box jumps, and double-unders until you have solid technique. Stick to air squats, push-ups, sit-ups, step-ups, and jumping jacks for your first few months.

How do I know when to move up from beginner AMRAPs?

When you can complete beginner AMRAPs without stopping (moving continuously for the full time), your form stays consistent throughout, and you score in the top range of the beginner tier. Usually 6–8 weeks of consistent training.
