15 CrossFit Workouts You Can Do At Home

CrossFitters are known to be some of the most intense workout junkies around, but even the most dedicated WOD-disciples won’t be able to get into the gym every single day. Especially during the coronavirus pandemic, facilities will close—but your desire to train won’t stop once the doors are shut.

For those of you who aren’t exactly sure what that all means, don’t worry. WOD, in CrossFit parlance, means Workout of the Day. When it comes time to get sweaty in the box (CrossFit gym, natch), the WOD serves as a set of instructions for the physical challenge you’re tasked to complete.

Most of the time, you’ll have to use equipment like barbells, kettlebells, ropes, and more to complete your WOD—CrossFit programming is built around Olympic-style lifts like cleans, presses, and snatches. But every so often, the implements take a back seat to more basic physical challenges.

Skip out on the big weights and barbells and check out these CrossFit workouts to do at home. If you’ve never tried CrossFit before, think about checking out these workout styles as a trial to take on ahead of stepping foot in a box. You’ll need basic implements like a jump rope and pull-up bar for a few of the WODs, but most of them can be completed with just your bodyweight. CrossFit has also recently expanded its guidance to be more inclusive for people of all physical abilities (specifically older folks) using non-traditional implements, so you’ll be able to find some more scalable routines, too, no matter what gear you have at hand.

If you’re just starting out in the CrossFit world, don’t be afraid to adjust any of the workouts for reps or time.
