were shortlisted and took part in regional heats throughout June to find the 12 finalists who went head to head at Nexus, the University of Leeds’ innovation hub.

Something to bear in mind when doing these is understanding what you are trying to achieve out of the session. For example, the sled push is the station after the ski erg, so maybe one session would include supersetting 800meters on the ski erg, with 40m sled push, for 3 rounds.Preparing for a HYROX event requires careful planning to ensure you’re ready to tackle each and every station on the circuit, as well as all that running in between.

With an ever-growing population, hospitals, clinics, midwifery groups, family health teams, and other healthcare organizations must equip themselves with practical risk and safety knowledge. Alternatively, you may be aware of specific weaknesses (perhaps based on previous races) that you want to focus on, and so would do these more regularly than other exercises. It is an important station where there is a large variability in the times that athletes complete it in. This is much more efficient than catching the ball with straight legs, and then beginning your squat. To help with this, the athlete can use a box that is placed behind them, and the judge will ensure that the athlete makes contact with the box, for each rep, to determine if the athlete is squatting deep enough.My recommendation would be for most of your training to be with a ball that is at least the weight you’ll be using at HYROX.
