Ora crushes a serious EMOM workout
The British singer, songwriter, actress, and workout pro is seen in Farmer's Instagram video doing some serious cyclist goblet squats, back rack lunges, dumbbell step ups, and box jump step downs. Farmer's caption reads, "Tight on time? Sometimes only having 30 minutes to train is a part of life so on days like today its good to have a game plan that gets the most out of every minute. Pro Tip: Pick the top 4 movements from your full session and put them in an EMOM."
If you're not familiar with EMOM, it means "every minute on the minute," so essentially, you'll do an exercise for however many reps in under 60 seconds. Farmer breaks down exactly what Ora did—a total of 6 rounds of the following exercises, which adds up to a 30-minute workout:
- Min 1: Cyclist Goblet Squat
- Min 2: Back Rack Lunge
- Min 3: Dumbbell Step Up
- Min 4: Box Jump Step Down
- Min 5: Rest
Farmer closes off his post with, "Set reps and tempo that allow you to finish each exercise with 15-20 seconds spare." Ora commented on the post, "I love it!!"

Staying fit and practicing self-love is not new to Ora
In 2017, Ora graced the cover of Shape Magazine and was quoted saying, "I didn't start working out to get skinnier—I started working out to feel better. And I think it's important for women to know that." (One of the many reasons we love Rita Ora, right?) Back in 2014, the star also graced the cover of Cosmo and shared another admirable quote about self-love: "You have to come to terms with loving your body. Stand naked in front of the mirror and say, 'I'm f***ing sexy.' That's where it starts."

Loving, celebrating, and taking care of your body is ridiculously important
It's sometimes easier to make excuses than to carve out enough "me time" in your hectic schedule. It's also so easy to talk yourself out of exercise when you're having a particularly busy week. But take a page out of Ora's playbook. The star has released albums, including Ora in 2012 and Phoenix in 2018, and in between that, she's been in some of our favorite movies and shows like "Fifty Shades of Grey," "Fifty Shades Darker," "Fifty Shades Freed," and "Southpaw."
