Everyone is always asking, what should I do on my days I don’t come to class?  I started to make a list of Crossfit Endurance workouts that would be great to perform on days you want to do some endurance conditioning.  I will be adding more down the road.  Let me know if you guys come up with an endurance workout of your own that you think is worthy to share with others!  You can refer back to the Endurance Workouts tab on the right hand side of the webpage to get back to this list.

This can be done 2 ways. 1) either measured on a watch/computer (i.e., Garmin, Polar, bike computer, compu trainer or pool markers) and stopping each successive 10 meters by moving forward. This is the way that it should be done for cycling or swimming.
