Top Fat Burning CrossFit Moves

Here are 6 of the best CrossFit moves to burn fat and get to your ideal weight:

1. Thruster (4 x 5 reps)

In a single movement, take a barbell from a squat and stand to put it overhead.

Make sure your hips are below knees before you explode with the weight over your head. When the barbell is up, your body should be in a straight line with your elbows, shoulders, hips and knees locked out.

Tip: Keep elbows in front of the bar to avoid losing balance and to get it overhead more easily.

2. Snatch (4 x 5 reps)

Take a barbell from the ground, with a wide grip and back straight, and catch it overhead in a single movement. You should be in a low squat position with elbows locked out overhead and hips below knees.

Then explode straight up locking out your elbows, shoulders, hips and knees.

Tip: Use a hook grip to keep hands from slipping on the bar.

3. Clean And Jerk (4 x 5 reps)

Take a barbell from the ground to the shoulders, and then from the shoulders to overhead. Keep your back straight during the entire exercise.

Tip: All the power in this lift comes from the legs, so drive through your heels and open your hips for the most power.

4. Burpee (4 x 10 reps)

From standing, squat and plant hands on the ground, jump feet out to do a pushup, and then return to the standing for a jump.

Tip: Keep moving – you can always do another burped, even if it isn’t pretty!

5. Muscle-Up (4 x 5 reps)

On olympic rings (or a bar), start with a pull up and, at the top, drive your torso above the rings (or bar) until your elbows are locked out.

Tip: Drive your hips and torso up in a kip to ease the transition from under the rings (or bar) to on top.

6. Chest-To-Bar Kipping Pull-Up (4 x 5 reps)

Hang from a bar with elbows straight and shoulders engaged. Using momentum from your body, swing and drive your chest up to make contact with the bar. then return to a hanging position.

Tip: To reset your swing at the top of the bar, push away as hard as you can.

These CrossFit moves should pump up your heart rate and make you sweat like a pig. If that’s not the case, then the weight you’re using is too light. Add more weight and start again.

Make sure you’re doing at least 4 sets. When performing the last round, use heavier weights to make sure your body gets the challenge it needs.
