Whats involved?

In HYROX training, workouts are often categorised into four types: Power, Foundation, Engine, and Complete. Each focuses on different aspects of fitness to prepare athletes for the varied demands of the competition. Here's what each type involves:

1. Power Workouts:

   • Focus: Strength and Explosiveness.

   • Purpose: These workouts are designed to build raw strength and explosive power, crucial for exercises like sled pushes, sled pulls, and heavy carries. They involve lifting heavier weights with lower repetitions and may include plyometric movements to enhance muscular power.

2. Foundation Workouts:

   • Focus: Technique and Stability.

   • Purpose: Foundation workouts aim to improve form, stability, and core strength. They focus on perfecting the technique for functional exercises while building a solid fitness base. Exercises are typically performed at a moderate intensity with a focus on control and precision.

3. Engine Workouts:

   • Focus: Cardiovascular Endurance.

   • Purpose: Engine workouts are all about boosting cardiovascular capacity and endurance. These sessions often include longer, steady-state efforts or high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to increase your ability to sustain high-intensity exercise over time, critical for the running segments in HYROX.

4. Complete Workouts:

   • Focus: Full-Body Conditioning.

   • Purpose: Complete workouts integrate elements of power, endurance, and technique into one session, simulating the demands of a HYROX race. These workouts are designed to challenge the entire body, improving overall fitness and preparing athletes for the real competition environment.

Together, these workout types ensure a well-rounded preparation, helping athletes build the strength, endurance, technique, and mental toughness needed to excel in a HYROX competition..
