8 Underused Exercises CrossFit Athletes Need to Include More in Their Training

6. Sprinting

True speed is rarely tested in the sport of Crossfit but that doesn’t mean you should completely neglect this form of training. Explosive power and anaerobic conditioning are some of the main benefits of sprinting. If you want a high intensity workout that doesn’t involve a barbell, try some hill sprints to shake thing up a bit.

The 40 yard dash. Featuring @tiaclair1 @katrintanja @sarasigmunds and @hinshaw363 … Chris talked some heat to the women, saying they wouldn't beat him in this sprint. They did. What was cool about that though, is Chris made the sprint about beating him, and not about beating each other. Just a small detail into why he's a great coach. (I'm sure they still all wanted to win…) @crossfitgames @crossfit #RTTG #Fitness #CrossFit
