Why You Shouldn't Skip Wall Walks

Wall walks were introduced to the CrossFit Open in 2021, and whether you love them or dread them, they’re the foundation for handstand walking and a key step to becoming proficient at inversions.

So let’s slow down and really look at them:

  • Why should you actually want to get better at wall walks?

  • Why do they feel so challenging?

  • And if you do improve them, what’s the next step in your handstand journey?

Why Should You Want to Get Better at Wall Walks?

A lot of athletes write wall walks off as a “party trick”—something for warm-ups or for CrossFit to toss into workouts when they need another skill. But they’re much more than that.

If you want to understand inversion, build confidence upside down, and eventually handstand walk, you start by mastering the basics of the wall walk.

THINGS TO…

…MEASURE

Your Actual Fitness — Not Just Your Workouts

CrossFit’s five-day physical test is a full-body audit: absolute strength, relative strength, stamina, gymnastics, and mixed-modal grit. It’s less “PR party,” more “truth serum” for your training.

…UNDERSTAND

The $6.8 Trillion Wellness Boom

The global wellness economy just hit a record $6.8 trillion and is projected to surge to $9.8 trillion by 2029, according to the Global Wellness Institute. This isn’t just spa days and smoothies anymore — think wearable tech, mental health, boutique fitness, and wellness real estate.

…FIX

Your Pull, Your Rack, and Your Hip Contact

In this video, fan favorite Rebecca Fuselier helps you dial in your bar path using your lats, build a front rack you can actually breathe in, and understand how hip contact should really feel so that your lifts glide instead of collide.
