A couple of weeks ago I shared with you my first adventure race workout. If you haven’t tried it yet, you should. And if you have tried it, congratulations – you win a gold star and a ticket to round two!
As with adventure race workout one (or ARW-1, as it shall henceforth be known), speed, agility, power and endurance all come into play. It’s like the decathlon of workouts, with no skill or body part left untested. Oh, and it’s quite intense, so please ensure you warm up before you commence…
ADVENTURE WORKOUT TWO
Part 1
10 lunge jumps / 2 pulls ups / 2 chest-to-ground (10 rounds)
{2 minutes rest}
Repeat
Part 2
40 high knees / 8 Walk-out push ups with jump / 5 burpees
Repeat five times
Part 3
60-80m sprint at maximum effort
{1-2 minutes rest)
Repeat six times
Part 4
Tabata over-under fence
Don’t know what Tabata is? If you’ve got five minutes, check this out here. If you don’t, the cheat’s guide is as follows:
4 minutes
8 x 20 second rounds
10 seconds rest in between each round
Go hard or go home
So there you have it – ARW-2 in all its glory! It’s another killer workout designed to burn lots of calories, all while preparing you for the running, jumping, pushing, pulling, dragging, crawling, climbing, swinging fun that is adventure racing. Enjoy!

For as long as any of us has the will power & motivation, every exercise is doable, improvable and possible ?
Words to live by!
