Do you have plans in March? ๐ We hope not because we're expecting you in Mions with 1 or 3 of your friends for a crazy challenge! ๐คช The gym Be Sport Be Free (with this name, you're sure to give it your all just by arriving at the gym ๐ฅ), welcomes you and your crew to bring it on. On the agenda ๐, a good HYROX challenge in a team or in a duo ๐งโ๐งโ๐งโ๐ง. With a mix of running and fitness, it's a good detox ๐ค.
The concept is simple, 16 stages, consisting of 8 km of running ๐ and 8 functional exercises. The whole sequence is staggered as follows: 1 km of running then 1 fitness exercise ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ repeated 8 times. Quite simple on paper, right? But you may wonder, what are the different functional exercises? ๐คจ In HYROX, there are several tests that make you move and sweat ๐ฐ. You pull, push, throw, lift, rowโฆ ๐ฅ We start with the arms with 1,000 m of skierg ๐ช. As the name suggests, it looks like your arm movement when you're gliding on ski slopes โท๏ธ. Second exercise, 50 m of sled push, where you push with all your might โก๏ธ to move the โsledโ. You then follow with 2,000 m of bike. If you're a bit bilingual, you understand that this time, you'll be pedaling fast for 2 km ๐ด. Fourth exercise, 80 m of burpee broad jumps. Finally, a series not weighted with your body weight, but one of the most dreaded ๐ฅต.
We're already halfway through the challenge, only 4 exercises left! โจ After skiing, it's time to row ๐ฃ. You'll continue with 1 km of rowing, pushing with your legs and pulling with your arms. A bit of calm for the 6th exercise ๐ง, with 200 m of a farmer carry. A little weighted walk, where the best is to go all out! ๐ฃ Two more exercises, starting with 100 m of Sandbag Lunges, now it's starting to pull on the thighsโฆ ๐ฆต Finally, the last exercise and not the least: 100 wall ball ๐. A nice sequence: a squat and a weight throw above your head. Yes, on paper it was simple ๐, but upon closer inspection, it's not the same! But as we said, you won't be alone! ๐ฏ This event is done in 2s or 4s. So all you have to do is persuade your friends to take on this crazy challenge! ๐ What's certain is that you'll be proud of yourself at the end ๐. And since they really think of everyone, they even organize a race for kids ๐ง. Enough to bring the whole family together for a beautiful afternoon! But it's not over, because to top it all off, there'll be a food truck on-site ๐, so even your cravings are invited ๐. With that, all conditions are perfect for a good time ๐.
After such an exertion, it's better to recover calmly ๐ค. Just about twenty minutes by car is the beautiful city of Lyon ๐ธ. A walk in the Parc de la Tรชte dโOr will have you walking to avoid soreness ๐ตโ๐ซ. With a nice tour, you can even visit the zoo inside ๐ฆ. Otherwise, a simple visit to the city will suffice, the beauty of the streets will make you forget everything! For that, stroll around Vieux-Lyon or on the Presqu'รฎle, along the banks ๐ชท. And to recover even better, as we know, a good meal is the best ๐ค. Book a table in a Lyonnais bouchon, and the flavors will be there. And to finish well, a good sweet touch ๐, preferably Lyonnais. Nothing better than a praline brioche, soft and indulgent ๐.
Send a message directly to your next companions and start your training now! ๐ You will need strength, mental toughness, endurance, and of course motivation ๐.
