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?

  • Kettlebell Front Rack Walks

    The kettlebell front rack walk is a loaded carry where kettlebells are held in the front rack position while walking a set distance or time. Found in kettlebell front rack walk workouts, this movement strengthens posture, core, and shoulder stability under sustained tension.

    In this workout, kettlebell front rack walks train midline bracing, grip endurance, and upper-body control while also activating the glutes and legs. The asymmetrical loading challenges balance and breathing, making it a simple yet effective tool for building real-world strength and resilience.

  • Row Erg

    Rowing is a low-impact, full-body movement that builds cardiovascular endurance, leg drive, and pulling strength. It’s a staple in many CrossFit workouts because it trains both aerobic capacity and muscular coordination.

    In this rowing workout, each effort helps develop power output, pacing control, and total-body stamina — all while being easy on the joints. Whether you're sprinting for calories or pacing for meters, rowing is one of the most effective tools for 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.

  • 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.

  • kettlebell snatch

    The kettlebell snatch is a dynamic, single-arm movement that builds explosive power, grip strength, and shoulder stability. A staple in many kettlebell snatch workouts, it moves the bell from swing to overhead in one smooth motion, training both strength and endurance.

    In this workout, kettlebell snatches improve hip drive, coordination, and conditioning while challenging core control and unilateral strength. Whether for reps or intervals, the kettlebell snatch delivers a powerful full-body challenge.

  • 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.
