Bodyweight Workouts to Build Incredible Endurance for CrossFit (With Scaled Options)

You don't always need a barbell to create a high-intensity WOD. Bodyweight CrossFit workouts can be an even harder test of fitness; especially if your endurance and gymnastic training has been neglected.

Bodyweight workouts can be deceptively brutal and serve as an excellent way to improve your endurance and mental toughness.

“Chelsea proved that a powerful cardiorespiratory stimulus could be generated through simple calisthenic workouts.” – CrossFit Journal, 2006

Add these WODs into your training in order to keep things varied and fun. They are also a great opportunity to get back to basics with some of the most simple and effective movements in CrossFit such as running, burpees and push ups. Have fun and let us know how they went for you.
