Here are a few of the best off-bike workouts to try.
1. Cardio Kickboxing
This MYX class is not for the faint of heart—it’s 40 minutes of pure rage, and you’re going to feel amazing when you’ve made it all the way through.
And if you want a taste of what a kickboxing workout is like on the platform, you can try the Stuntwoman Workout from the Openfit Rough Around the Edges program.
Kickboxing is the perfect workout for building stamina and strength and it’s a great place to start if you’re just joining the Openfit community. There’s something about keeping up with a live instructor that makes this workout routine so much more fun than just going at it solo.
2. Xtend Barre Cardio + Stretch
MYX’s take on barre workouts is always a fresh one. To begin, you’ll need a chair or any other barre-height piece of furniture and a yoga mat, either the one that came included with your MYX II Plus or your own.
Trainer Andrea Rogers offers tons of helpful tips and much-needed motivation as you go through this barre program.
If you love the strengthening and lengthening power of a barre workout but cannot stand how slow an ordinary barre class is, an Xtend Barre session might be just the ticket.
3. Every Step: Intervals Walk
The Openfit Every Step program series consists of outdoor walking and jogging challenges. There are sessions in this series suitable for people of all fitness levels: extremely gentle walking guides aimed at rehabilitation and the elderly, as well as more intense outdoor cardio workouts administered in intervals.
These classes require no equipment aside from your smartphone and a supportive pair of shoes. Take Openfit out on the town with you for a workout the next time you’ve got a long list of errands to take care of.
4. Cardio: LIIT
This fun class offers everything that a traditional HIIT workout routine has to offer, with one major bonus: no jumping. Thank God.
If you’re just getting started and need to build yourself up to a more intense routine, this low-intensity interval training class has got your back. You’ll be able to tone up before working your way into more advanced HIIT workout routines. Check the Openfit live schedule for upcoming times.
5. Yoga: Sculpt
Many people love yoga, but sometimes vinyasas just aren’t intense enough to elevate your heart rate. Enter the MYX+Openfit Yoga: Sculpt series, a power flow yoga routine that incorporates weights and high-intensity cardio to boot.
If your form is already great and you’re in the mood to push it, you should jump into a session of this live class. To boost your endurance, you can substitute your medium or heavy weight set for the light set that this class recommends by default.
6. 10-Minute Abs
One great aspect of the Openfit 10-Minute Abs strength training series is that you’re able to choose a class that corresponds to your current fitness levels: Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3.
Level 1 is perfect for beginners just getting their bearings. Level 3, though? It’s like being dropped right into the middle of an actual CrossFit box, and at a fraction of the price.
7. Pilates Mat
Pilates is probably one of the most effective ways to work every part of your body. Your abs, your shoulders, your chest, your lower extremities, and your arms will all be feeling the burn in the best way possible. These 40-minute Pilates sessions are excruciating, but they’re so, so worth the pain.
If improving your flexibility, mobility, and posture are on your list, you won’t want to miss your daily Pilates Mat session. Check the Openfit schedule for upcoming times for all of these workouts.
