Build an engine that will not quit.

Daily workouts on CyclicalRx are designed to help you build Aerobic Capacity and improve Anaerobic Endurance. These workouts are monostructural training pieces only - meaning we use the Airbike, Rower, Jump Rope, and Run.

Each week is structured around a constantly varied formatting cycle, this will provide you with a high variety of WOD formats that are sure to keep you engaged, excited, and ready for anything on a daily basis.

This program is designed for anyone looking to add cardio to their weekly Strength Training routine, for anyone looking to add additional cardio/conditioning to a CrossFit based routine, or for the avid cardio enthusiast looking for fun training sessions that will help them build work capacity!
