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?

  • D-Ball Carries

    The D-ball carry is a strongman-inspired movement where an athlete lifts and carries a heavy medicine ball over a set distance. Common in d-ball carry workouts, this movement trains raw, functional strength and challenges grip, posture, and core stability.

    In this workout, D-ball carries activate the entire posterior chain—glutes, hamstrings, lats, and traps—while testing mental grit and work capacity. The awkward, shifting load forces you to stabilize under fatigue, making this a highly effective movement for building real-world strength and endurance.

  • A-jump

    A-jumps are a powerful plyometric movement where the athlete jumps from a squat into a fully extended position—arms reaching high and feet leaving the floor explosively. Common in A-jump workouts, this bodyweight drill trains lower-body speed, power, and reactivity.

    In this workout, A-jumps build explosive strength in the quads, glutes, and calves, while also boosting heart rate and coordination. Often used in high-rep conditioning, they demand control and quick recovery—making them ideal for improving athleticism, endurance, and leg drive.

  • V-up

    The V-up is a bodyweight core exercise that targets your abdominals, hip flexors, and overall midline control. It’s often used in V-up workouts to build core endurance, especially in high-rep or gymnastic-style training.

    In this workout, V-ups demand coordination, flexibility, and explosive core engagement. They’re a great alternative to sit-ups when you want more intensity and a greater range of motion — making them perfect for CrossFit and functional fitness routines.

  • kettlebell swing

    The kettlebell swing is a powerful hip-hinge movement that builds posterior chain strength, core stability, and cardiovascular endurance. A go-to in any kettlebell swing workout, it’s known for improving explosiveness, grip, and conditioning in one efficient motion.

    In this workout, kettlebell swings train your glutes, hamstrings, and shoulders, while developing rhythm and control. Whether Russian or American style, the kettlebell swing is a versatile tool for both beginners and advanced athletes.

  • push up

    The push-up is a foundational bodyweight movement that strengthens the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core. A staple in any push-up workout, it’s effective, scalable, and requires no equipment — making it perfect for all fitness levels.

    In this workout, push-ups develop upper body endurance, stability, and control, especially under fatigue. Whether performed strict, hand-release, or elevated, the push-up is a timeless movement that builds strength and resilience.

  • goblet squat

    The goblet squat is a simple yet effective squat variation that builds lower body strength, core stability, and squat mechanics. A key movement in many goblet squat workouts, it's performed holding a dumbbell or kettlebell at chest level.

    In this workout, goblet squats improve quad and glute activation, encourage proper posture, and are great for both beginners and experienced athletes. The goblet squat is perfect for strength training, conditioning, or as a mobility-focused accessory movement.

  • atomic sit up

    The atomic sit-up is a dynamic core movement that combines a full-range sit-up with a leg raise or tuck, often performed on a suspension trainer or using bodyweight alone. Featured in atomic sit-up workouts, it delivers a powerful double hit to the upper and lower abdominals.

    In this workout, atomic sit-ups improve core strength, hip flexor control, and total-body coordination. The dual movement pattern increases time under tension and recruits more muscle groups than traditional sit-ups—making them a challenging and effective addition to core training or conditioning circuits.
