Hyrox is a new type of fitness race, with race and workouts, including fun and challenging experience. It has a total of 1 km race 8 times, and after every race a different functional workout has to be done. This increases body strength, stamina and agility.

The special thing about Hyrox is that its format is the same worldwide, so that you can easily track your progress. Let us know what is this fitness trend and its advantages and disadvantages. Also, who should not take part in this race.

What is Hyrox?

Hyrox is a type of standard fitness race, which has an eight -phase race and a functional workout after every round. These workouts include exercise, sled push and pull, barpi broad jump, rowing, farm carry, sandbag lenges and wall ball throw on the Skierg machine. This format is the same worldwide, so that the level of fitness of people can be measured from anywhere.

Why is this popular?

Hyrox in India is becoming popular because every level person can participate in it. Anyone is starting or is a professional, he can play it according to his category. Apart from this, it has an emotion of community and team spirit. People motivate each other by cheering each other. It does not allow the workout to be boring, always feels something new and challenging. It has standard timing and programming, so you can easily track your progress.

Benefits of hyrox

Hyrox is beneficial for both body and brain. It improves both cardio fitness and muscle strength simultaneously. VO2 increases enduration ie the body’s ability to use oxygen. This focus and mental stamina also strengthens, because the combination of frequent races and stations keeps you active. Also, it also develops “real world strength”, such as pulling, pushing, lifting and walking, which are also useful in everyday life.

For whom is this fitness format?

Although Hyrox is adventures, it is not right for everyone. People who have heart diseases, uncontrolled blood pressure or serious joints/knee problems are required to seek medical advice before participating in it.

How should new people start?

If you are new in Hyrox, then it is not necessary that immediately enter the full race. Start slowly. Start doing races and bodyweight exercises (eg squats, Berpes) together. Increase the intensity and time of your workouts lightly daily. Apart from this, pay attention to the form, because wrong technique can cause injuries, seek the help of a professional trainer or take permission from the doctor, especially if you already have a health problem.

Motivation Factor to Hyrox

The biggest quality of Hyrox is that it gives not only fitness but also experience. When you are on the track and see the surrounding environment, crowd noise, and the hard work of the rest of the participants, then energy automatically doubles. A different type of community feeling arises while running and playing together. People also call it “mentally adactural” because every time the match is desired to improve again after completing the match.
