Build strength and mental toughness
.jpeg)
For anyone that’s new to CrossFit, it's essential to start with workouts that emphasize proper form, technique, and gradually increasing intensity. CrossFit WODs are great for people that like to challenge themselves, but if your first ever experience takes you too far beyond your limits then you may end up doing more harm than good.
Luckily, there are some fantastic beginner friendly CrossFit workouts which help introduce the important movements at a pace that’s a lot more manageable. Check them out below!
3 CrossFit workouts for beginners
#1 – Cindy
20-minute AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) of:
- 5 pull-ups (or scaled-down versions like ring rows or jumping pull-ups)
- 10 push-ups ( or scaled-down versions like knee push ups, or box push ups)
- 15 air squats
Cindy is a simple yet effective bodyweight workout that focuses on fundamental movements. It allows beginners to work on upper body pulling, pushing, and lower body strength while also improving cardiovascular endurance.
#2 – Nicole
20-minute AMRAP of:
- 400m run
- Max pull ups unbroken (or scaled-down versions like ring rows or jumping pull-ups)
Nicole is a simple and challenging workout that tests both endurance and upper body strength. It’s one of CrossFit’s benchmark workouts which you can use to track your improvement over time.
#3 – Baseline
For time (complete in the fastest time possible):
- 500-meter row
- 40 air squats
- 30 sit-ups
- 20 push-ups
- 10 pull-ups (or scaled variation)
Baseline is an introductory workout designed to establish a baseline level of fitness. It incorporates various movements commonly found in CrossFit workouts and allows beginners to gauge their progress over time.
Try ‘Scaled’ or ‘Foundation’ level CrossFit workouts.
You don’t have to do the workouts exactly as they are written. One of the great things about CrossFit is that it’s designed so that anyone can take part – regardless of your fitness level or previous experience!
There are two different levels designed to make CrossFit workouts more manageable for beginners:
- Scaled: designed for people who have some experience with CrossFit
- Foundation: designed for people who have who are new to CrossFit
You can learn more about scaled and foundation CrossFit workouts in this article.
Final thoughts
These beginner-friendly workouts prioritize simplicity, proper technique, and scalability, making them accessible to individuals of all fitness levels who are just starting their CrossFit journey. It's important for beginners to focus on mastering the basics before progressing to more advanced workouts.

ENGINE
We are going to mix things up a bit this week, varying modalities, time frames and distances designed to push your aerobic capacity.
GYMNASTICS
To kick things off, we will spend some time on Pull-ups and chest-to-bar pull-ups before we move off the rig and onto the floor as we look to break down and develop the Handstand Walk.
HYROX
Working on compromised running this week. Running consistently strong when there is nothing left in your legs is a key skill in Hyrox.
MOBILITY
Improving your overhead mobility will show you how to improve not only flexibility but also stability using a few key exercises that you can do in your own time.
PURE STRENGTH
In Pure Strength this week, we will kick the week off with a mixture of paused and unpaused back squats, followed by some heavy single-leg work. Wednesday sees us continue our progression on the strict press and the stationary dips.
WEIGHTLIFTING
This week in weightlifting we focus on the power snatch and hang power snatch with a series of complexes followed by some EMOM percentage work
