The Winter Burn - Crossfit Workout

For Time – 4 Rounds

16/20 Cal Ski
16 Back Rack Lunges – Intermediate: @30/45 | RX: @35/50
16/20 Cal Bike
16 Toes to Bar

Workout Overview

“The Winter Burn” is a four-round engine-heavy workout that combines monostructural machines with midline and leg fatigue. The pairing of ski and bike with weighted lunges and toes to bar challenges pacing discipline and muscular stamina across a 20-minute time cap.

Execution and Focus

Each round starts with a 16/20 calorie effort on the ski erg, followed by 16 back rack lunges – Intermediate: @30/45 | RX: @35/50 . Then you’re into a 16/20 calorie bike erg sprint and 16 toes to bar. The legs are under consistent loading, while the core gets blasted by both T2B and the postural demands of loaded lunges. Transitions matter in this one—keep them fast to stay on pace.

Strategy and Finish

Hit a steady but not maximal pace on ski and bike to avoid blowing up. Lunges should be done in 1–2 sets; control the tempo and bracing. Break T2B early if grip starts to fade—keeping short rests is more efficient. This for time workout incorporates ski erg workout, back rack lunge workout, bike erg workout, and toes to bar workout in a tight, full-body challenge that hits lungs, legs, and abs alike.

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.

  • 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.

  • bike erg

    The BikeErg is a fan-powered cycling machine that delivers a smooth, low-impact workout focused on leg power, aerobic endurance, and pacing control. Common in BikeErg workouts, it's perfect for both steady-state conditioning and high-intensity intervals.

    In this workout, the BikeErg builds quad and glute strength, while challenging your engine and recovery. Whether you're sprinting for calories or logging meters, the BikeErg is a versatile tool for improving cardiovascular fitness in a joint-friendly way.
