Thanksgiving WOD Ideas

As a fitness coach in Raleigh, I love Thanksgiving. It’s a great time of the year to catch up with family and friends that you rarely get to see, eat some really good food, and get a little rest and relaxation. Notice I said a little R & R, so that means you cannot take too much time off from CrossFit. Otherwise your times might start to drop.

That’s why in today’s post we’re going to post some of our favorite Thanksgiving themed WODs. Check these out below, give them a try if you dare, and post your times in the comments below. If you’re searching for a new gym, a new challenge, or the best fitness coach in Raleigh NC, call CrossFit Invoke today. We’re the best Raleigh gym for beginners, experts, and all levels in between!

Thanksgiving Day Massacre WOD

If you’re going to compete in the Thanksgiving day massacre, we suggest that you think about taking a rest day afterwards. This one is brutal and you’re going to get fatigued. We want to see what you got so post your scores in the comments below. This WOD has a 45 minute time limit:

Gymnastics Moves

• 20 sit ups = 2 points
