What is a "for time" workout?

A for time workout is a classic CrossFit format where the goal is to complete a set list of exercises as fast as possible. Your time becomes your score, making each for time CrossFit workout a race against the clock — and yourself.

In a typical for time workout, you'll perform a fixed number of reps or rounds of movements (e.g., squats, push-ups, burpees, or barbell lifts) and finish them as quickly as you can while maintaining good form. This format pushes you to work hard, manage fatigue, and develop both conditioning and mental toughness.

Why Try a "For Time" CrossFit Workout?

  • Builds intensity and urgency into your training

  • Encourages better pacing, efficiency, and recovery awareness

  • Easy to track progress over time — beat your previous score!

  • Works well for individual or group competition-style workouts

Whether you're doing a short sprint or a long chipper, the for time CrossFit workout format is a powerful way to test your limits and stay motivated in your training.

What kind of exercises are in this workout?

  • front rack reverse lunge

    Front rack reverse lunges are a single-leg strength movement performed while holding weight—dumbbells, kettlebells, or a barbell—in the front rack position. In front rack reverse lunge workouts, this variation builds leg strength, posture, and midline control under load.

    In this workout, front rack reverse lunges challenge the glutes, quads, and core while reinforcing balance and alignment. The reverse step reduces knee strain and the rack position increases trunk activation, making it a smart choice for functional strength training.

  • push press

    The push press is a powerful overhead movement where the athlete uses a dip-drive of the legs to assist in pressing a weight overhead. A mainstay in push press workouts, it blends lower-body drive with upper-body pressing strength.

    In this workout, push presses build shoulder endurance, triceps power, and explosive leg extension. The movement teaches efficient energy transfer and is ideal for conditioning, barbell cycling, or building overhead capacity in strength blocks.

  • Double under

    The double under is a jump rope skill where the rope passes under your feet twice per jump, building coordination, speed, and cardiovascular endurance. It’s a popular movement in high-intensity double under workouts, often used to spike heart rate and improve timing under fatigue.

    In this workout, double unders challenge your footwork, rhythm, and breathing, making them a key tool for improving overall conditioning. Whether you're linking sets or working on consistency, double unders are a fast-paced way to level up your engine.

  • Ski Erg

    The SkiErg is a low-impact, high-intensity cardio machine that simulates double-pole skiing. It’s a favorite in many SkiErg workouts for building aerobic capacity, upper body endurance, and total-body coordination.

    In this workout, the SkiErg targets your lats, core, triceps, and legs, offering a unique way to train both power and pacing. Whether you're sprinting for calories or grinding out meters, the SkiErg delivers a serious conditioning challenge without stressing the joints.

  • Single under

    The single under is a jump rope movement where the rope passes under your feet once per jump. It’s a foundational skill often used in warm-ups, scaling options, or high-rep single under workouts to build coordination, rhythm, and cardio endurance.

    In this workout, single unders provide a low-impact, accessible way to boost heart rate and improve timing. Whether you're just starting out or mixing them with more complex skills, the single under is a valuable movement for all fitness levels.
