About this calculator
The WOD intensity calculator (reps/min) is used to measure performance in CrossFit workouts. It calculates the average number of repetitions completed per minute during a Work Out of the Day (WOD), helping to assess exercise intensity. The formula considers total completed repetitions and total time spent, expressing the result as reps per minute.
This tool is ideal for athletes tracking fitness progress or comparing performance across different WODs. For example, a 20-minute workout with 60 repetitions results in 3 reps/min. The calculation helps identify improvements in strength, endurance, or efficiency.
Remember that intensity should not be confused with technical quality. The formula does not account for correct movement execution. Always prioritize proper form to avoid injuries, even if the goal is increasing reps per minute.
Frequently asked questions
How does the calculator define training intensity?
It divides total repetitions by total time in minutes, ignoring pauses. For example, 30 reps in 15 minutes result in 2 reps/min.
Which types of WODs is this metric most useful for?
It's ideal for workouts with repetitive movements and timed structures, such as Fran, Murph, or other fixed-time formats.
Can I use this tool for multi-exercise WODs?
Yes, but the calculation considers the total sum of all repetitions performed during the WOD.
Why didn't my intensity increase even though I improved my performance?
Increased resistance or exercise complexity might have reduced average speed, even with better technique.
