What is HYROX Youngstars?

HYROX YOUNGSTARS combines the classic endurance sport of running with strength and coordination exercises from functional training. The sequence of the exercises is predetermined and always remains the same: HYROX Youngstars replicates the adult race, but with adaptations based on the age and stage of maturation for the different age groups.

The exercise stations are:

  1. SkiErg – Pull on the ski ergometer until the full distance is reached.
  2. Sled Push – Push the sled across the marked distance, starting completely behind the line.
  3. Sled Pull | Sled Drag – Pull/Drag the sled across the marked distance, until the sled crosses the finish line completely.
  4. Burpee Broad Jump | Frogger Jumps – For Age 10+ Chest-to-floor burpee, followed by a long jump, landing with both feet simultaneously. For the 8–9 Years, we jump like a frog.
  5. Rowing – Complete the distance on the rowing machine, zeroed before start.
  6. Farmers Carry – Carry weight on each hand and walk the distance.
  7. Lunges – Step forward into a deep lunge until the back knee briefly touches the floor. Both legs must alternate while covering the given distance.
  8. Wall Balls | Squats – Squat hips below the knee, for ages 12+ then throw the ball at the given target.
