Cross Training WOD Bible: 555 Workouts from Beginner to Ballistic

Overall, very informative & helpful. The one thing that it misses is that it doesn’t have any pictures or description of the individual moves/exercises. I myself have worked out my whole life, so I know all, if not most of the moves, but a beginner will get confused.

Even though I am now in my senior years with numerous medical issues I am still a fanatic when it comes to physical fitness. I have been researching the many physical fitness routines and programs lately and one of the very best I have read is Cross Training WOD Bible: 555 workouts from beginner to ballistic by Paige Selter. I really loved this book even though there is not a single photograph showing the exercises in this entire 157 page book; nevertheless, it has fantastic routines for anyone desiring to achieve the ultimate in total fitness.As anyone into exercising knows our body adjusts to any exercise routine when done for a certain period of time. With WOD (Workout of the day) you can overcome this natural tendency of your body because you can change your workout program just about every day. This wonderful reference source begins with a brief introduction and the benefits of cross training. The basic terminology of the WOD system is covered before moving to the actual programs.This text lists the following fitness routines: Beginner WODs, Benchmark-the girls, Benchmark-hero WODs, Body weight WODs, Running WODs, Rowing WODs, Kettlebell WODs, Olympic Lifting WODs, Strongman WODs, Short and Heavy WODs, Minute by minute WODs, Bi-Element WODs, Tri-Element WODs, Four or more WODs. Hybrid WODs, AMRAP WODs, and epic endurance challenges. I read this book in a short period of time, but I went back and checked off with a pen all the WOD routines I will be doing in this book (85) over time.If you are a workout fantastic you should check out this excellent guide and reference source. If you do not know how to do all the exercises mentioned in this book I suggest checking a WOD website where you can see the exercises being done.Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J.

The "Cross Training WOD Bible" is decidedly different from other workout and training books. It fits in perfectly with my training philosophy as it takes the focus off vanity and focuses entirely on performance.As my schedule has changed I have much less time to work out. Fortunately the workouts only take between 15 to 20 minutes. The author also includes a large number of workouts that don't require any fitness equipment. The combination of short workouts that don't required fitness equipment is perfect for the busy person. I can easily grab a quick workout at home before heading to the office.The author has included such a wide variety of workouts that you won't become bored with the same routine day in and day out. The workouts range from beginner to advanced so there are workouts to suit every level of fitness.As the "Cross Training WOD Bible" was exactly what I needed I can recommend it highly.

It's easy. Open, pick a workout, train. Especially during a lockdown there is no easier way to get variety and excitement into a daily exercise routine.

This book gave me exactly what I wanted (a comprehensive list of crossfit workouts). The only downside is the book assumes you know all the exercises, but the unknown exercises can easily be found on youtube or elsewhere. I thought I knew a lot of exercises, but this book has several I had never heard of which is perfect for me (I was getting bored with the exercises and the WODs I was making up for myself). There is just something about a WOD that someone else has made up that makes it more fun to do.

Ok not everyone wants to be a body builder, but yet I would like to have some form of a tutorial to allow me to stay active at a moderate pace. I think the majority of folks are like me, and if you are not? Then more power to you!! Anyway, that is what I like about this book, the workouts are of a wide range of intensity. If you want to go all out, there are workouts in here for you, if you want just a little bit to make yourself feel good, that is also an option! Looking for a quick, easy and fun CrossFit guide? Look no further. Now get off the computer and start moving!!!

There are actually NOT 555 workouts in this book. Yes there are a lot, however a good bit of them are doubled up by making the same WOD, for time and for 1 round! Pretty bad editing too, misspelled words, no consistency in naming conventions, and other small details that just bothered me. That being said…... all the classics are in here (The Girls, some of the popular Hero WOD's like the Murph) and then some. What I liked most about the book was that there were Running only WOD's and Kettle bell only WOD's, Rowing only WOD's, along with some others. All in all not too bad, for the price I'm glad I got it.

Surely life changing. It's a bit hard even when reading it. But I tried a bit. It seems I can do it. Well, no pain, no gain. Afterall it's for my own health. I like the beginner part and the names. I think this can give a good result in time. It's a bit hard at first. I think I can get good improvements everyday. I am just so excited to see the results in a week time. I am happy to have this book.

This is probably for those experienced in WOD and want ideas as it’s geared towards listing exercises with no detail of how to do the exercises so those new will need to research some of the exercises on line. I probably expected more from this book but won’t dismiss it yet as it’s given me ideas of how to mix up the exercises to prevent the monotony of doing the same thing week in week out. I will though need to research some of the exercises and rounds

Not particularly useful for beginners trying to get into crossfit pretty much just a list without any helpful information or illustrations much better alternative books available.

Yes lots of wods but if beginner got this book, he would not have a clue how to train, when and what WOD to use. Basically full of exercises but no direction nor guidance.

Great set of books using basic exercises to challenge the fittest of us while giving a progression for beginners to follow to become fitter

Not really a lot, beside a list of workoutsNo real content, just a lot of random workouts, some that could give someone not ready for them serious Rhabdo or injury
