Question 1

What are Rounds-based CrossFit workouts?

Accepted Answer

Rounds workouts require completing a fixed number of rounds of prescribed movements. You track your total time or aim for consistent round times. Examples include 5 rounds of specific exercises.

Question 2

How should I pace rounds workouts?

Accepted Answer

Aim for consistent round times rather than fast early rounds followed by slow ones. Calculate your target pace per round and use a clock or timer to stay on track throughout the workout.

Question 3

Should I rest between rounds?

Accepted Answer

Brief, planned rest between rounds is often more effective than grinding through without breaks. Short rests help maintain movement quality and overall intensity throughout the workout.
