It looks like my Dad’s going to be doing the Tough Mudder run again, so I figured I would share some videos with y’all about how to prepare for this grueling race! One of the most important parts of prepping for this is your muscle endurance, so here’s a video to help you get started on running your OWN Tough Mudder challenge!
The workout is:
Decline push ups to regular push ups to incline push ups
Jump switch lunges to squats
Pull ups to chin ups
Singe wave with the undulation rope
The trainer in the video says that “all exercises need to be done until no more strict reps can be completed, then you proceed to the next exercise. Do the full circuit 3 times and as you get better, shorten the rest periods.” The point of this is to teach your muscles endurance for the race, so you’re not in too much unneeded pain because you didn’t prepare!
When will YOU take the tough mudder challenge?
