What is the CrossFit Open 21.1 workout? Wall-walks and double-unders to feature
- The first of three CrossFit Open workouts has been released, and it is scaled so you can workout at home
- Participants have one week to complete the workout and upload their score
The first of three CrossFit Open workouts has been released. The 21.1 challenge has four different levels, so it is possible to do even if you do not have access to a gym during Covid-19 restrictions.
The four levels are called RX’d, Scaled, Foundations and Equipment-Free.
The Open is a three-week online competition. Each week, CrossFit releases a workout and participants have seven days to complete it and upload their scores.
The CrossFit Open 21.1 workout is a ladder of double-undoers and wall-walks, doing more repetitions per set for time.
Double-undoers are skipping, when the rope passes under your feet twice per jump. The wall-walk is a new movement for the CrossFit Open. Athletes start with a press-up, then put their feet on the wall behind them and walk their feet up the wall, while moving their hands closer to the wall, into a supported handstand position and then manoeuvre back down.
