20 Legit Reasons Women Should Love CrossFit

6. It Switches Things Up.

Your WOD is different every day.

Run lovers can still get their cardio on, and those who hate it won’t have to do it too often.

Partner WODs! It’s great motivation to split up a workout and cheer each other on. Plus, the accountability makes you try harder.

CrossFit’s highest honor is the kind of title anyone would want bragging rights to.
