December is where training plans go to die. The gym hours change, the family descends, the fridge fills up, and by Christmas Eve the only people still turning up are the ones with a race booked and nowhere else to be. Then January arrives and everyone starts again from scratch.

Ho Ho Hyrox is the answer: a festive training advent calendar with a short, sharp Hyrox workout for every day from 1 to 25 December. Every session is built around the eight race stations and the running between them, named correctly and performed to race standards, with the Christmas in the workout names and the formats rather than in any novelty exercise nobody needs.

Inside the book

• 25 Christmas-themed Hyrox workouts, from The Twelve Days and Silent Night to The Naughty List and Turkey Trot
• Every workout scaled three ways: Beginner, Intermediate (Open loads) and Advanced (Pro loads)
• A home and travel option for every single day, so no sled, SkiErg or rower is not an excuse
• A coaching note on every workout from a Hyrox coach with more than twenty years' experience
• A complete movement guide to all eight stations and the running, with the common faults and the cues that fix them
• Two partner workouts for Doubles teams, with solo options
• A Christmas Eve half race simulation and a bonus Boxing Day full simulation
• A two-week January plan to carry the momentum into race season
• A tracker to record every score, so next December you have something to beat

The perfect stocking filler for the Hyrox nut in your life

Whether you are buying for a first-timer who has just been talked into a race or a Pro athlete chasing a podium, the same book works for both. Beginners get a gentle introduction to each station in the first week. Experienced athletes get heavier loads, tighter rest and a proper test on Christmas Eve. Everyone gets a reason to keep training through the one month of the year that usually gets written off.

Do one a day. Tick it off. Sit down to Christmas dinner with twenty-five sessions in the bank.
