CrossFit Circuit Training for Women: Features, Best Exercises

A set of exercises for women, for a Circuit workout according to the crossfit method.

We start the training with pull-ups in the butterfly style, after which we move on to the push-ups in the handstand, then take a short pause to restore breathing and start squats with the barbell over your head (overhead), after that we will perform the required number of medicine ball throws and complete the ejection circle.

The program presents exercises, during which the whole body works, but the maximum load goes to the deltoid (shoulders), muscles of the legs, back, and buttocks. We recommend alternating this complex with the one we published earlier (link below). This will diversify your workouts, strengthen more muscles, and help you achieve your goal faster.
