HyRide-ROX: Power Through Every Stroke, Pedal, and Press

If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to row, ride, and rise to the occasion—this is it. HyRide-ROX blends endurance effort with total-body resistance, cycling you through waves of intensity that challenge your lungs, core, and muscle stamina. The row-bike combo primes your engine, while each movement pairing hammers a different muscle group with strategic precision.

The WOD:

3 Rounds of:

1. 500m Row / 30 Cal Bike
   • Round 1:
     • 20 Plank KB Drags
     • 20 KB Sit-Ups
   • Round 2:
     • 12 Arnold Press
     • 12 Chest Press
   • Round 3:
     • 20 Wall Balls
     • 20 Walking Lunges

This isn’t a pick-your-favorite round kind of workout—you’ve gotta show up for every section. From grounded core work to upper body isolation to classic leg burners, HyRide-ROX doesn’t play favorites. It pushes balance, grit, and full-body strength through every transition.

Warm-Up Guidance (7–10 Minutes)

Start with 3 rounds of:

• 10 Air Squats
• 10 KB Deadlifts
• 10 Push-Ups
• 30-second Plank
• 30-second Bike or Row (moderate pace)

Then loosen up the shoulders with light KB or DB shoulder circles and arm swings. Don’t skip it—your press game depends on it.

At-Home Options

No bike or rower? No problem.

Replace:

• Row/Bike: Do 2 minutes of high-intensity cardio (jump rope, high knees, burpees, or running stairs)
• KB Drags: Use a dumbbell or backpack with weight
• KB Sit-Ups: Hug a heavy book or water jug
• Arnold + Chest Press: Dumbbells or filled water bottles
• Wall Balls: Toss a backpack or slam ball to a target
• Walking Lunges: Load with household objects like water jugs or a weighted vest

The burn doesn’t care what you use. Just move.

Coaching Tips

• Pace your cardio: Don’t blow out in round 1. Keep a steady pace that allows you to push your strength segments.
• Core tight, always: Whether you’re dragging a kettlebell or pressing overhead, engage that midline.
• Focus on form in Arnold Presses: Rotate with control. Don’t rush the reps.
• Wall Balls & Lunges: Round 3 fatigue is real—break them into manageable chunks if needed. Consistent movement beats burnout.
