The first CrossFit Open workout of 2026 has been announced🔥
Here are some tips and tricks:
1. Control the heart rate early
2. Be strategic on the wall balls
3. Stay low and efficient on the box
For most people, the goal will be to get as far as possible in 12 minutes. Only the best in the world will finish this one.
This workout is a real leg burner, so make sure you pace it from the start. The wall balls should feel smooth and controlled, and you should plan to break them up early, even if it feels too slow in the beginning. For most athletes, the round of 66 will be the separator, so stay disciplined and stick to your break strategy.
Mentally, divide the workout into manageable blocks and focus on completing one section at a time. Once you make it back to the round of 40, hang on and give everything you have left.
On the box jump-overs, aim for a steady and consistent flow rather than sprinting. Focus on clean technique and a rhythm that you can maintain throughout the workout. Control your breathing at all times and adjust your pace if needed. Keep your breaks short and regular instead of waiting until you are completely exhausted.
On the box step-overs, hold the ball in the position that feels most comfortable. For most people, that will be on the shoulder.
Good luck, go crush it💪🏼
