Your only contact with sport comes from watching it on TV. After walking the stairs, you have to catch your breath. After running 2 miles, you need an oxygen tank. You can do neither 20 push-ups women on the knees nor one clean pull-up women with a little help.
To survive Tough Mudder, you need to practice very intensely. You need an iron will and the willingness to change your habits. If you give it all you got and make no excuses, workouts a week will get you to the necessary level within 16 weeks. Running 3 miles would exhaust you, but at moderate speed, you could do it. You can do at least 20 push-ups women on the knees and ideally at least one clean pull-up women with a little help.
You still have a long way ahead of you. Ideally, you have at least 12 weeks to prepare with workouts per week. You can do at least 40 push-ups women on the knees and at least 5 pull-ups with good technique women with a little help. As a woman, you can work with the above mentioned fitness level that fits your running ability.
Should your arms be very weak, add 4 additional weeks to be safe. In addition to your running, do circuit training. You only need to be able to handle your own bodyweight!
I'm a hardcore athlete — is Tough Mudder the right challenge for me? Tough Mudder is a challenge for everybody. You can vary the intensity of Tough Mudder by varying your speed.
Much like in the gym, where beginners might have trouble bench pressing pounds while experienced athletes manage pounds or more, after Tough Mudder everybody will be equally tired. If you have too much energy during the run, you can spend your waiting time at obstacles worthy of a true Mudder — by doing push-ups! You need to be able to handle your own bodyweight, create body tension, and have good coordination.
We'll tell you what to do and why: Which muscle groups you need, what you need them for, and how you can train them. At Tough Mudder, there are many obstacles where you have to pull yourself up. To master them, you need strong lats. Don't worry about your biceps too much. While the biceps helps with pulling movements of any kind, it's only an auxiliary muscle that's chronically over-valued in the fitness world.
The biceps only accounts for one third of the arm size, and the back is the main source of power for pulling movements. More importantly, when you train your back, you automatically train your biceps — even if you don't focus on it. Using an overhand grip your palms point away from you , place your hands a little wider than shoulder width apart.
The overhand grip is very important. It helps to put the emphasis of the exercise on your back and your shoulders, both common weaknesses of Mudders. With an underhand grip your hands point towards you , on the other hand, you'll put the emphasis on the biceps. For good technique, do pull-ups without momentum. After each repetition, go back to the starting position maximum range of motion. We know that the technique isn't easy especially in the beginning , but don't worry: You can get better in a relatively short time.
Since women have a higher body fat percentage, this exercise is often harder for them. Man or woman — if you're having problems executing one pull-up with good form, tuck your legs and let a spotter support your movement by pushing your legs upwards — only as much as necessary, of course! Sooner or later you'll be able to do a pull-up without help. From there, you can gradually improve.
