The SkiErg is a popular low-impact cardiovascular exercise within the 1st round of the Hyrox competition. Participants must complete 1000m on the SkiErg before moving on to the next round.
The SkiErg simulates the motion of cross-country skiing. It’s a full-body workout that targets all the major muscle groups.
To prepare for the 1000m SkiErg, participants should focus on building their aerobic capacity through cardiovascular exercises such as running, cycling, or rowing. They should also practice using the SkiErg machine itself to get the technique down and incorporate intervals to improve performance.
