No Equipment, no problem: 92 Crossfit Workouts without equipment

Handstands are a great balance exercise and no equipment required

Over the weekend I had a workout in the local park adjacent Kitsilano Beach (an area in Vancouver).  We had access to a pull-up station next to the basketball courts, so what workout would make sense?  Hmmm, let me think about it.  Murph!  Well, it may not have been the best choice, but considering it is a couple of body weight movements sandwiched between two 1-mile runs, it was easy to do with a group of 5.

Well, this got me thinking what other workouts are good for those of us who find ourselves on the road or have limited equipment options?  I came across a conversation thread on the Crossfit Discussion Board entitled Eva T’s WOD Compilation.
