For the last few years obstacle racing has become a growing sport. People from all over the world are making their way to these events not only for fun, but as away to get in shape. This weekend in VT Spartan Race will hold their World Championship with $250,000 worth of prizes. $250,000 plus a 90 minute special on NBC Sports may convince more people to join in the dirty fun. Keep in mind obstacle races vary from your local mud run to races that hold events on a global scale. Plan your fitness goals and get out to a race. If you happen to see me at a race make sure to stop me for a high-five and extra encouragement or we may help each other through an obstacle.

Here are a few exercises to help get you prepared for your next race.

With all the fitness going on, remember to listen to your body because being hurt and sore are two different things.
