Crossfit Open Workout 12.1

Complete as many reps of burpees as possible in 7 minutes.

Sounds easy right? Well for starters you have to have an object to reach about 6 inches above your max reach. If you’re in this to push yourself then this is going to be one helluva of a cardio workout.

Crossfit Open Workout 2019 19.4

My lord this one is tough. For time you’ll perform

3 rounds of
10 barbell snatches
12 bar facing burpees

Rest for 3 minutes. During this rest I suggest sipping on some BCAAS or pre workout to help fuel the rest of your training because now you have to do...

3 rounds of 10 bar muscle ups
12 bar facing burpees

Time cap is 12 minutes. Not only is this a fantastic workout but it doubles as a great shoulder and lat workout as well, it'll definitely make our list for Crossfit upper body workouts for muscle

Burpees and Sprints

This is another quick one that can really burn you out if you aren’t careful.

For time

20 burpees
10 m sprint
19 burpees
10 m sprint

All the way down to 1 burpee and 1 10 m sprint. Holy conditioning workout! One of the beautiful aspects of Crossfit is the you’re challenged to display power, strength, endurance, grit and resolve all at the same time. To “get fit” is to operate with an elevated heart rate at all times. Do not ignore your recovery either. Check out our sore legs recovery guide right here.

One of the more brutal Crossfit burpee workouts is its most recent. The 2020 Crossfit games is going online and the first workout is burpees to ground to overhead


Crossfit Burpee Workout 20.1


You’ll perform 8 barbell ground to overhead reps. You can either perform a snatch or a clean and jerk. Immediately you’ll move into 10 bar facing burpees.

Ten rounds for a 15 minute time cap. This does not look fun.

As a matter of face, none of our burpee workouts look fun but they work and they work well when placed into any workout.
