Crossfit is an enjoyable way to become faster, fitter and stronger whilst spending less time in the gym so is perfect for people with limited training time or even just those who fancy a change from normal weight training and cardio. Despite a lot of basic exercises in the workouts, there are always clever tweaks that keep them challenging and make them a lot more interesting as you improve and progress.
Whether you’re new to CrossFit or have dabbled in it before, these workouts will give you a good challenge and help boost your fitness levels as well as your muscle building and weight loss goals.

Burpee Box Jumps
