You have most likely heard of the show “American Ninja Warrior” – with wacky obstacles and athletes competing for the title. This heart pumping obstacle course includes climbing, hanging, sometimes falling into water after losing a grip. So, you want to be one? Having the ability to go through a Ninja Warrior course takes agility, strength, focus + more! Here are some tips to get you started…
- Don’t put the cart before the horse – or – in our terms – build a solid foundation before you start:
Like any sport, a solid foundation is key to accomplishing success. In regard to Ninja Fitness training, the foundation can include:
- Learning to balance
- Building strength
- Increasing stamina
Train these 3 core platforms before you even explore an obstacle course. These are taught through daily practice and can be a phenomenal stepping stone to accomplishing the actual course.
2. Gear Up
Hanging onto a monkey bar or swinging from ropes, it is important to wear the right attire. Ask your coach what the approved clothing is, generally it includes:
- Closed toe athletic shoes
- Grip socks
- Comfortable gym clothes
3. Ready! Set! Go!
You have now met your foundation goals, dressed in appropriate attire and ready to start the obstacle course. Be prepared to experience a sport like no other:
- Obstacles can include a “salmon ladder,†“warped wall,†“ring toss,†“floating boards†and more!
- Bring water and be courageous – try new things but always make sure safety is first.
