Bells & Burpees - Crossfit Workout

4 Rounds for Time

10 meter Double KB Front Rack Walking Lunges – Intermediate: @2×16/24 | RX: @2×20/28
12 Double KB Russian Swings
10 Burpee Pull-Ups
15/18 Cal Ski Erg

TC: 19

Workout Overview

“Bells & Burpees” is a mid-length conditioning test blending kettlebell strength work with gymnastics and ski erg power. Each round loops through front rack walking lunges, explosive Russian swings, high-heart-rate burpee pull-ups, and ski intervals that tax your pulling endurance. Four rounds at race pace means you’ll need to balance aggression with movement quality.

Execution and Focus

Keep the front rack tight and posture tall during lunges—don’t let the KBs collapse your midline. Russian swings should be heavy but controlled—finish at shoulder height with full hip extension. The burpee pull-ups are where your heart rate spikes; pick a steady rhythm and aim for minimal pauses before jumping to the bar. Ski erg pacing should be consistent but aggressive—15/18 cals means you need to pull with purpose, especially in the last two rounds.

Strategy and Finish

Treat round one as a system check. Once your breathing settles in, aim for steady effort across all segments. KB transitions should be fast but clean. Don’t redline on swings or burpees too early—this workout will punish a front-loaded approach. Make your final round your fastest. Total time is capped at 19 minutes, so efficiency and transitions matter.

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?

  • 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.

  • burpee pull up

    The burpee pull-up combines a full-body burpee with a vertical pulling movement, delivering a powerful mix of conditioning and upper body strength. Common in high-intensity burpee pull up workouts, it challenges your engine, grip, and coordination all at once.

    In this workout, burpee pull-ups spike your heart rate, test your pulling endurance, and require full-body control under fatigue. Whether used in sprint intervals or long AMRAPs, the burpee pull-up adds intensity and variety to any session.
