10 CrossFit Chipper WODs to Build Powerful Mental Toughness

CrossFit chipper WODs are designed to be tough but dynamic, challenging many different aspects of strength and resilience.

CrossFit Chipper WODs are a great format to enhance mental toughness for athletes. They require you to tackle the WOD head on and grind your way through. A handy mental characteristic that can help you out in life when things get tough as well. 

The name Chipper describes a workout that combines a lot of different movements at high volume. You complete all reps assigned for each exercise before moving on to the next. Unlike the circuits seen in a lot of CrossFit workouts, a Chipper is performed only once.
