Plan Details
The Obstacle Race Prep Routine routine by markopolox is a 5 day workout plan. It is a beginner level plan to achieve general fitness goals.
This exercise routine is designed to prepare you for an obstacle course race (like Savage Race, Spartan Race, etc..). The goal for each day is to build strength, cardio, and to lessen required recovery time. You will need access to a gym with free weights, pull up bar, punching bag, basic machines, and a horizontal ladder. The cardio portion is listed as elliptical, however, this could be supplemented by treadmill or running. If you do sign up for an obstacle course race, best of luck to you! Make sure that as well as working out with this routine, you practice running the full race length (evenings, or perhaps on weekends). Lastly, make sure if your just starting out that you start slow. If you follow this routine you will be working out 5 days a week. So build up weights and reps at a pace you can manage and sustain. Good luck to you! Always remember that you can do what you set your mind to!
