Equipment for at home CrossFit Workouts
Most CrossFitters have an abundance of at-home equipment like dumbbells, resistance bands, pull up bars, weight vests and skipping ropes. Those lucky ones among us may have barbells or resistance machines.
For many simple at home CrossFit workouts, only a few pieces of equipment are needed to sustain your levels of fitness when your gyms are not open.
Warm up for CrossFit Workouts at home
We recommend that you warm up for any workout properly, activating the relevant muscles and elevating your heart rate to cope with the intensity of your CrossFit session.
You can do this by performing mobility exercises as well as practicing the relevant movements beforehand. As well as a pulse raising activity like jogging around the block or jumping jacks on the spot.

If you can get outside (avoiding other people of course) or even if you are lucky enough to have a treadmill this is for you!

Why Do At Home CrossFit Workouts?
