Top Six New Moves for Deeper Core Strength
on Mar 2, 2012 Question: Are your inner thighs just as strong as the outer, back, and front of your legs? Yeah…I thought so.To the uninitiated, running through one of Tough Mudder ’s mud-soaked obstacle courses may seem like a trial for joining the world’s biggest frat race. More than 10,000 people may line up at any given event to soak in a tub of ice, crawl under barbed wire, or deal with electric shocks. Even though the first race took place only three years ago, organizers expect 400,000 people to compete in 36 events in 2012. To understand Tough Mudder’s rapidly spreading appeal, you must look at the event format, designed after British Special Forces exercises. Each event covers approximately 10 to 12 miles, with 35 military obstacles thrown in to test your strength and thermoregulatory system.
