20 CrossFit Workouts You Can Do at Home

As a functional fitness athlete, you absolutely hate to miss a WOD.  Somedays, our schedules are just too busy to make it to the gym.  Whether you have a fully-fledged garage gym, or only a pair of jump ropes – we’ve built a list of WODs you can do virtually anywhere, without any equipment or gear. 

Here’s our list of 20 CrossFit WODs you can do at home. 

1.      Mini “Murph”

1-mile Run

100 Push-ups

200 Air Squats

1-mile Run

Don’t have a pull-up bar?  The classic Hero WOD “Murph” scaled down with spin – no pull-ups and slightly fewer reps.  This should be more of a consistent sprint than a long grind. 

2.      Interval Cardio

10 Rounds for Time:

Spring 100m

Walk 100m

When you’re sick of weights and gymnastic movements – some high-intensity intervals will fire up your heart rate. 

3.      “Cindy”

20min AMRAP:

5 Pull-ups

10 Push-ups

15 Air Squats

A classic CrossFit WOD.  Familiar and perfect for an at-home workout.

4.      Death by “…”

AMRAP:

Choose 1 movement; Push-ups, Air Squats, or Burpees

Do 1 movement per minute at the top of every minute.  Each minute adds an additional rep.

Go until you can’t complete the required reps in a minute

Pick your poison.  This WOD starts out deceptively easy and builds up.  Great when you want a longer endurance workout. 

5.      Squats

300 Air Squats for Time

A quick WOD that tests your aerobic and muscular capacity. 

6.      Full-Body Sprint

7 Rounds for Time:

10 Push-ups

Short bursts of movements with high rounds.  This WOD will get you sweating quick! 

7.      Bodyweight WOD

8 Rounds for Time:

10 Push-ups

10 Air Squats

10 Burpees

10 Air Squats

A fairly well-rounded WOD.

8.      Hero WOD “Michael”

3 Rounds for Time:

Run 800m

50 Back Extensions

50 Sit-ups

“Michael” is a great cardio and core-blasting WOD.  When the rest of your body is still wrecked from Olympic lifting, this can break up some soreness while building up your core.

1 Minute Rest

2 Minutes Max Sit-ups

Another short WOD for at-home.  Treat each round like a all-out sprint. 

15. Mobilize

1 Minute Handstand

After a tough week of CrossFit, we all need a break.  This WOD is low-impact but will activate and stretch your muscles for a good mobility workout. 

16. Distance Burpees

For Time:
