15 GIRL & HERO WOD'S THAT YOU CAN DO AT HOME WITH LITTLE OR NO MODIFICATION

Constantly varied functional movement is at the core of the functional fitness philosophy on getting fit, and we’re sure many of you are learning a lot about the “constantly varied” part of this philosophy. With the current stay-at-home orders across the country and all over the world, it's essential to stay consistently creative with your workout routine.

One of the best parts of CrossFit has always been the Girl and Hero WODs. The Girls and Hero WODs are a huge part of the deep-rooted history of CrossFit. The Girls were first created by Greg Glassman as a way to test your progress since the constantly varied aspect of CrossFit leads to you not repeating many workouts, which left a void for judging progress. You can read more about “The Girls” here.

The Hero WODs were created to honor fallen soldiers, most of them being brutal beatdowns intended to simulate the pain and discomfort these soldiers endured to protect our freedoms.

Both workout types are staples in many athletes arsenal of workouts, and so many of you are itching to get back out there and complete more of them. That got us thinking, why can’t you do some of them at home? Well, the good news is, you can!

Below are 15 Girl/Hero WODs that you can do at home, including some modification tips if needed. Some of them can be done just as they are written as they require little to no the equipment, while others will test your creativity around the house, gathering objects of different sizes/weights to replace kettlebells, wall balls, boxes, and pullup bars.

Hopefully, this guide gives you the motivation to get in the backyard or driveway and put in some work!
