Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training-1/27/14

Play in the playground. Many times, the burpees won't quite cut it. There are climbing, jumping, wading, lifting and other obstacles in a race. So, here's the elephant in the room; you don't always have to do burpees. There, I said it.

Besides, I haven't seen any burpee obstacles, so throw some alternate exercises in there.

I do like to integrate chin ups, burpees and pull ups into my exercise routine, but that's for core strengthening. I get obstacle practice at the playground. I even get kids involved.

Here are some definite must do's at the playground:

Hanging monkey bars are great
way to build strength and balance. 

These are great for balance and speed.
 Just climb up them like stairs.

Chin up bars or
Hand over hand crossing


Can you see the pole?
t's great for rope climb practice





















Monkey bars baby
