Don’t have access to a gym? You can still complete a HYROX-inspired workout from the comfort of your own home. You can achieve a full-body workout that mimics the event’s intensity by using simple equipment like dumbbells, resistance bands, and a jump rope.
Using a sandbag (or a weighted backpack), simulate the sled push by pushing the weight over a short distance. Engage your legs and core to generate power.
Substitute the rowing machine with jump rope for a cardio challenge that boosts coordination and endurance.
Perform a burpee, then jump forward as far as possible. This explosive movement will help build power and cardiovascular strength.
Grab a pair of dumbbells or heavy objects, like a backpack, and walk 30 meters, keeping your posture strong and core engaged.
Perform lunges with a sandbag (or weighted backpack) on your shoulders, maintaining proper form with each step.
Use a dumbbell or any heavy object to simulate the wall ball exercise. Squat deeply and press the object overhead.
Use a dumbbell to mimic kettlebell swings. Drive through the hips and maintain a strong core throughout.
Hold dumbbells in each hand and perform walking lunges. Focus on control and stability with each lunge step.
