25 Double Unders
3 Wall Walks / 10m Handstand Walk
25 Box Jump Overs
3 Wall Walks / 10m Handstand Walk

TC: 16

Workout Overview

“Burpee Bells & Balance” challenges athletes with two contrasting sections—weighted lunges paired with burpee grit, and then a skill-heavy gymnastics round involving handstand work and explosive jumps. This blend of movement tests posture, poise, and pacing.

Execution and Focus

Keep the kettlebell lunges upright and deliberate. Don’t rush into poor positioning. Burpees over KB should be fast but composed. In the second half, use double unders to reset your breath. Wall walks or handstand walks demand shoulder endurance—breathe deep and move with purpose. Jump overs should feel punchy but smooth.

Strategy and Finish

Don’t come out hot—your shoulders will need help in round two. Save enough for handstand work by controlling pace early. Rest between pieces is your only break—use it wisely. Push the box jumps and handstand walk hard in the final round to close strong.

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?

  • double kettlebell front rack lunge

    Double kettlebell front rack lunges are a strength and stability movement where the athlete holds kettlebells in a front rack while performing lunges. A staple in double kettlebell front rack lunge workouts, this variation increases trunk engagement and balance demands.

    In this workout, the movement targets the quads, glutes, and core while also challenging shoulder and midline endurance. The front-loaded position encourages upright posture and control, making it an efficient tool for developing functional lower-body strength.

  • burpee over kettlebell

    Burpee over kettlebell is a fast-paced conditioning movement that combines a standard burpee with a lateral jump over a kettlebell. Frequently used in burpee over kettlebell workouts, this variation adds a reactive, spatial element that increases intensity and coordination.

    In this workout, burpee over kettlebell challenges full-body endurance, agility, and explosive power. The low obstacle keeps transitions fast and fluid, making it a great choice for high-rep metcons or as a burner in interval-style workouts.

  • Handstand Walk

    Handstand walks are an advanced gymnastics skill where the athlete walks on their hands while maintaining balance and control in an inverted position. A centerpiece in many handstand walk workouts, this movement tests upper-body strength, core stability, and full-body coordination.

    In this workout, handstand walks develop shoulder endurance, wrist strength, and spatial awareness. They demand focus and skill under fatigue, making them ideal for gymnastic skill progressions or high-level competitive conditioning.

  • 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.

  • wall walk

    The wall walk is a challenging bodyweight movement that builds shoulder strength, core stability, and coordination. Popular in gymnastics-style training and wall walk workouts, it requires control and confidence moving upside down.

    In this workout, wall walks train overhead pressing strength and midline engagement while developing skills for handstand-based movements. Whether scaled or RX, the wall walk is a highly effective way to build upper body endurance and body awareness.

  • box jump over

    The box jump over is a fast-paced plyometric movement that builds explosive power, agility, and cardiovascular endurance. Unlike a standard box jump, you jump onto and over the box, increasing intensity and coordination. It’s a go-to in many box jump over workouts for raising heart rate and testing athleticism.

    In this workout, box jump overs challenge your lower body drive, balance, and footwork — especially when performed under fatigue. Whether jumping laterally or facing the box, the box jump over keeps you moving with speed and precision.
