Bell Tempo - Crossfit Workout

EMOM 12

1: 9 Goblet Squats + 9 KB Swings – Intermediate: @20/28 | RX: @24/32
2: 12 KB Cleans
3: 50 Single Crossovers

Workout Overview

“Bell Tempo” is a 12-minute EMOM built to challenge movement quality and pace control. Three distinct stations test different aspects: squat depth, explosive hip drive, kettlebell cycling, and jump rope coordination. It’s simple on paper, but the continuous effort keeps the intensity high.

Execution and Focus

Work at a pace where you can maintain clean movement through all three stations. Focus on hitting consistent depth and drive through the goblet squats and swings. On the kettlebell cleans, manage your grip and avoid unnecessary tension. The single crossovers require coordination—keep arms relaxed and rhythm steady. This EMOM is less about redline effort and more about disciplined movement and breathing.

Strategy and Finish

Aim to complete each minute’s task in 40–45 seconds, allowing short rest before the next station. Don’t burn out early—stay efficient and controlled. Track your breathing, especially coming off the cleans and into the rope. A smooth finish across 12 minutes means you managed your tempo like a pro.

What is an "emom" workout?

An EMOM workout stands for "Every Minute on the Minute" — a time-based training format where you perform a specific number of reps or a short workout at the start of every minute, then rest for the remainder of that minute.

In a typical EMOM CrossFit workout, you'll rotate through one or more movements (like squats, push-ups, or barbell lifts) for a set number of minutes. Whether it’s 10, 20, or 30 minutes long, an EMOM builds consistency, pacing, and work capacity.

Why Choose an EMOM CrossFit Workout?

  • Trains intensity with structure — no wasted time

  • Builds work/rest awareness and sustainable pacing

  • Easy to scale for beginners or advanced athletes

  • Perfect for developing movement quality under fatigue

EMOM workouts are ideal for strength training, conditioning, or skill development, and they work in both solo and group settings. Whether you're doing a bodyweight circuit or barbell cycling, an EMOM workout keeps you moving with purpose.

What kind of exercises are in this workout?

  • single crossover

    The single crossover is a jump rope variation where the athlete crosses their arms during each jump, one rep at a time. In single crossover workouts, this skill adds variety, timing, and shoulder coordination to classic jump rope conditioning.

    In this workout, single crossovers build rhythm, footwork, and upper-body agility. They’re a fun and scalable step up from single unders, helping athletes improve timing and rope control in a cardio-focused setting.

  • kettlebell clean

    The kettlebell clean is a hinge-driven lift that moves the kettlebell from a swing or dead start into the front rack position with control and fluidity. A key skill in kettlebell clean workouts, it bridges power and precision—setting up for presses, squats, or jerks.

    In this workout, kettlebell cleans develop hip extension, grip strength, and core stability. The smooth transition to the rack position teaches timing and efficiency while minimizing impact on the forearm. It’s a versatile movement for building functional strength and movement quality.

  • kettlebell swing

    The kettlebell swing is a powerful hip-hinge movement that builds posterior chain strength, core stability, and cardiovascular endurance. A go-to in any kettlebell swing workout, it’s known for improving explosiveness, grip, and conditioning in one efficient motion.

    In this workout, kettlebell swings train your glutes, hamstrings, and shoulders, while developing rhythm and control. Whether Russian or American style, the kettlebell swing is a versatile tool for both beginners and advanced athletes.

  • goblet squat

    The goblet squat is a simple yet effective squat variation that builds lower body strength, core stability, and squat mechanics. A key movement in many goblet squat workouts, it's performed holding a dumbbell or kettlebell at chest level.

    In this workout, goblet squats improve quad and glute activation, encourage proper posture, and are great for both beginners and experienced athletes. The goblet squat is perfect for strength training, conditioning, or as a mobility-focused accessory movement.
