Not all WODs are created equal. Just because a workout "kicks your ass" doesn't mean it's benefited you, or helped you in any way to become stronger, faster, fitter, etc. Sometimes those WODs that break you down are actually doing more harm than good. Breaking Muscle has scoured through hundreds of WODs and they've figured out The 3 Best and 3 Worst CrossFit Workouts.

The 2015 Reebok CrossFit Games are almost upon us, and that means the fittest Woman, Man & Team on Earth will be crowned next week.

How about one bad ass shoe designed to crush any WOD. The highly anticipated Reebok CrossFit Nano 5.0 is finally here, and it has surely separated itself from it's predecessors as the toughest Nano to date. For it's fifth inception Reebok partnered up with Dupont, the makers of Kevlar (yeah, what they make bullet proof vests out of), to create a training shoe unlike anything you've ever seen.

It's no wonder then that apps designed specifically for CrossFitters have started to emerge. Here's a great list of the Top 10 CrossFit Apps.
