How Open 25.1 works
Open 25.1 is an AMRAP: as many rounds and reps as possible in the set time. You work through the movements in order and start again from the top after the last one. Your score is the completed rounds plus the reps of the round you started.
Open 25.1 is one of the Open workouts. Workouts from the CrossFit® Open, the yearly worldwide online competition. They're standardized and a good way to compare yourself with others.

Find a pace you can hold for the whole time. If you go out too fast in the first few minutes, you'll lose more rounds at the end than you gained at the start. Plan short breaks before you need them.
