What is Hyrox?
Hyrox represents a revolution in competitive fitness. Unlike CrossFit, this discipline offers a unique and standardized format that appeals to athletes of all levels. Simply put, Hyrox is structured around a simple yet demanding concept:
- 8 cycles, each consisting of 1 km of running
- Followed by a specific cross-training exercise after each kilometer
Key Functional Exercises in Hyrox
SkiErg: This machine simulates cross-country skiing movements, primarily engaging the upper body. It effectively targets the arms, back, and shoulders while being low-impact—ideal for recovery or rehabilitation.
Sled Push and Sled Pull: These exercises challenge your strength and endurance. The Sled Push involves pushing a weighted sled, focusing on the quadriceps, while the Sled Pull requires pulling the sled, engaging the back and arms.
Wall Ball: A powerful exercise where you perform a squat and throw a medicine ball against a wall, combining strength and explosiveness.
Farmer’s Carry: Carrying weights over a designated distance, this exercise builds grip strength and core stability.
