Obstacle Specific Exercises

At our bootcamps we focus on exercises that will help us to negotiate obstacles both in our daily life and during an obstacle race. We also ensure that we focus on the four areas that are crucial for obstacle racing:

• Strength/Explosive Power - Overcoming obstacles such as high walls, rope climbs and monkey bars requires good both lower and upper body strength. Explosive power helps us to launch the body through the air in order to reach the top of a wall
• Agility - A typical obstacle race will force a runner to constantly change body position with speed in order to travel from one obstacle to another.
• Endurance - Both cardiovascular and muscular Endurance is a must for longer distance obstacle races where the body is put under constant demand for durations of one hour plus.
• Technique - Technique will help us to overcome an obstacle with efficiency. The heel hook technique for overcoming a wall is a classic example

Obstacle Racing is renowned for the camaraderie and the friendly nature of the participants. Everyone helps each other, everyone works together to help each other overcome obstacles. Our bootcamp is no different. We encourage our members to work with each other and help each other improve.
