WOD stands for "Workout of the Day." It refers to the specific exercise or training routine prescribed by CrossFit coaches for participants to complete on a given day. WODs are typically designed to be intense and challenging, combining a variety of functional movements from different disciplines like weightlifting, cardio, and gymnastics. Each WOD varies from day to day, ensuring a diverse and well-rounded fitness program.
