Fight Gone Bad Workout Timer
Fight Gone Bad is a classic CrossFit workout: three rounds of five exercises, each performed for 1 minute at maximum intensity with reps counted. Wall balls, sumo deadlift high pulls, box jumps, push press, and rowing for calories — 1 minute each station with 1 minute rest between rounds. Every exercise uses the rep-based tap format so you track your total score. The workout was named by UFC fighter BJ Penn who said it was like a bad fight — constant intensity with no single movement dominating. Seventeen minutes total. Advanced difficulty requiring familiarity with all five movements and the conditioning to sustain near-maximal effort across three rounds.

Upper Body Warm Up Routine
A 5-minute warm-up designed for push day, bench press, overhead press, or any upper body training session. Progresses from small arm circles to large ones, adds shoulder rolls, then moves into band pull-aparts and wall push-ups to activate the pushing muscles at low intensity. Scapular push-ups specifically wake up your serratus anterior — a muscle critical for shoulder health during pressing movements. Arm swings and wrist circles round it out. The whole sequence takes your shoulders through their full range of motion and activates the stabilizers that protect your joints under load. Five minutes that can prevent months of shoulder problems.
Standing Core Workout No Floor Needed
A core workout you can do without ever touching the floor — perfect for the office, a small space, or anyone who can't get down on the ground. Standing crunches, standing bicycles, standing oblique crunches, wood chops, high knee pulls, and standing leg raises. All movements are performed upright, using gravity and body mechanics to challenge your core. Two complete circuits with brief rest between exercises. Ten minutes, beginner-friendly, and surprisingly effective — standing core work requires more balance and coordination than floor exercises, which activates additional stabilizer muscles. The no-floor constraint makes this the most accessible core workout in the library.
Six-Pack Ab Circuit
A circuit-style ab workout targeting the muscles visible in a six-pack. Three rounds of crunches, leg raises, bicycles, planks, and V-ups — rep-based exercises with tap-to-advance format so you control the tempo. The combination of flexion exercises (crunches, V-ups), anti-extension (plank), and rotation (bicycles) ensures all visible abdominal muscles are trained. Rest between rounds allows partial recovery so you can maintain form. Twelve minutes total. Intermediate difficulty — V-ups in particular require both core strength and hip flexor flexibility. Consistency matters more than intensity for visible abs — do this 3 times per week alongside a sensible diet.
