Completing complex obstacle courses and training like a champion requires ninja-level dedication and commitment. Take inspiration from  “American Ninja Warrior” to up your fitness game by training your body to achieve feats of strength and agility you never thought possible inside the gym or out.  Here are three ideas for learning the way of the ninja.

How to Train Like a Ninja Warrior

1. Commit to Hardcore Exercise

What is your body capable of achieving? The ninja mindset means focusing on what’s before you and never looking back. The exercises you perform today will set you on the path to success tomorrow. Multiple sets of walking lunges and jump squats strengthen and tighten your quads and glutes. To work your abs, commit to successive rounds of sit-ups and leg lifts, reaching your legs as high as possible before lowering them nearly to the floor.

2. Complete Some Ninja Obstacles

You can efficiently channel and challenge your inner ninja on an obstacle course. The monkey bars, warped wall, and cargo nets put your strength and speed to the test. You’ll gain a better understanding of your body’s strengths and weaknesses while also improving your skills. Obstacle courses are fun and competitive, whether you’re climbing the salmon ladder, jumping on trampolines, or training on the slackline.

3. Have a Great Time

More than anything else, don’t take yourself too seriously. Becoming a ninja warrior is all about having a good time while making strides to achieve personal goals. Whether that means killing it at the gym or spending more time on an obstacle course, you’ll feel motivated to push through and persevere if you surround yourself with positivity.
