If you need a visual aid, you can also check the illustrations that flash up on your smartphone.

Travel WODs: Travel Workouts

What: Missing your box? Then check out this CrossFit app that comes with 120 WODs and has been getting rave reviews.

Wow! What’s even better is that you don’t need your barbell, kettlebell or medicine ball for these WODs. The app is designed for a CrossFitter on the road, so whether you are in hotel room, by the pool or stuck at the airport, you can still find a workout that suits your location. You can also share your WOD whiteboard entry by Facebook or Twitter so that your coach can see if you’re slacking too.
