You’ve enlisted and now the hard work begins…In the special forces they train hard to fight easy! If this is the first time you have taken on such an epic challenge you may be wondering where to start. Check out the top 5 strength building exercises you can add to your training programme in preparation for your Born Survivor Mission!

Rule No1…Get comfortable with the distance & make sure you are capable of completing a 10KM jog/run. Running is a great foundation but with 30 testing military grade obstacles to conquer you’re gonna have to find that extra strength from somewhere! To prepare your physical and mental conditioning try Fartlek / Interval training and stop every 400m to perform press ups/squats, burpees or a crawl etc to simulate the strength, agility and effort required at every obstacle.

Check out the videos for each exercise. Whether you’re a beginner or someone that trains regularly there are some great tips for everyone. Focus on good form and always be diciplined by performing the important warm up before exercise! If in doubt always seek advice from a qualified fitness trainer. HQ
