Some other terms you might hear:
- The “Girls” : A series of benchmark workouts created by CFHQ that are universally known among the CF community.
- The “Heroes” : A Hero workout is a tribute workout in honor of a fallen CrossFitter (either Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine, Firefighter, Police officer) that died in the line of duty. They're tough and among the most difficult of WOD’s. There are sadly too many of them.
- Tabata Interval: A workout of 8 intervals alternating 20 seconds of max rep work with 10 seconds of rest. Total is 4 minutes per exercise. Score the lowest interval rep count.
