CrossFitters Everywhere Will Be Doing This Super-Intense Workout For Memorial Day Weekend
When you think of CrossFit, you probably picture people throwing around heavy barbells, swinging kettlebells all over the place, and jumping up onto impossibly high boxes. Turns out, though, you don't need any of these things to channel CrossFit's famously badass vibes.
In fact, let me blow your mind: You can do a CrossFit workout at home. Yep, there are plenty of daily CrossFit workouts (known as WODs, or workouts of the day) that require only your body weight. (Well, that and the desire to #werk.) “No-equipment workouts force you to master key movement patterns, which lays down a foundation for long-term success,” says CrossFit Games athlete and coach Ian Berger CF-L2, founder of Home Base Fitness.
They're also much more accessible (and safer!) for beginners curious about—but intimidated by—CrossFit and its hardcore rep. While working out in your living room or garage might not have the same feel as a CrossFit box (read: gym), you’ll still score the same great sweat.
Need proof? Give one of these bodyweight home CrossFit workouts a go—and know that you can always up the intensity with a pullup bar, jump rope, or kettlebell if you're feelin' it.
No equipment necessary, but you're gonna feel it.
