RACE

The first HYROX workout is 1000 metres on the Ski Erg. The Ski Erg mainly targets the arm, shoulder and core muscles. However, when done properly the muscles of the lower body are involved in the movement as well, making the Ski Erg a full body exercise.

Workout number two is the Sled Push. Don’t come unprepared… the Sled Push is something you should have tried at least once before your race, and got a pair of shoes with some grip! Here you need the muscles of the lower body, especially the anterior thigh muscles. In addition, the entire posterior chain and core muscles are involved.

The next one is 50 metres on The Sled Pull. Get ready to use your glutes, biceps, and back as well as the entire trunk.

Created in 1939, this full body workout is loved and hated at the same time. If you’re new to HYROX you might have a hard time with Burpees, however most of our athletes would now consider this one of their favourite exercises.

For the Farmers Carry you need to work your upper back muscles (trapezius), the entire core muscles and of course the forearms/hands (grip strength). An easy exercise you can practice on your weekly shopping run.

10, 20 or 30 kilograms on your back whilst lunging? Yes, welcome to workout number 7. The lunge primarily targets the thigh and glute muscles.

The final boss – The Wall Balls. You made it this far and there is no turning back now. Take a deep breath, finish those Wall Balls and join the #HYSOCIETY of Fitness.
