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?

  • T2B

    Toes to bar is a powerful gymnastics movement that targets your core, grip, lats, and hip flexors, making it a key element in many high-intensity toes to bar workouts.

    In this workout, toes to bar challenge your core strength, rhythm, and coordination while under fatigue. Whether you're kipping or going strict, it’s an essential skill for improving gymnastics capacity and midline control in CrossFit.

  • Burpee

    The burpee is a simple, full-body movement that combines a squat, plank, and jump into one explosive exercise. It’s a staple in nearly every burpee workout thanks to its ability to build cardio endurance, coordination, and mental toughness — fast.

    In this workout, burpees spike your heart rate, challenge your engine, and require no equipment. Whether you're doing them over a bar, onto a target, or just flat out, burpees are a true test of grit and 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • jumping lunge

    The jumping lunge is a high-intensity, plyometric movement that builds explosive leg power, balance, and endurance. Common in many jumping lunge workouts, it challenges both your lower body strength and cardiovascular capacity.

    In this workout, jumping lunges train quads, glutes, hamstrings, and core stability, all while improving coordination and agility. Whether performed for reps or time, the jumping lunge adds speed, intensity, and athleticism to any functional fitness routine.

  • 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.
