History of Angie.

Angie is a classic Girl WOD benchmark featuring 400 total bodyweight reps. Named in the CrossFit tradition, it tests muscular endurance across four fundamental movements.

Progression path

Build the base. Scale with purpose. Improve your time.

The goal is not to force the same version of the WOD on every athlete. It is to keep useful training exposure while you build toward better benchmark performances.
