Eric “ERock” Botsford, Tough Mudder’s trainer and warm-up emcee, says the Tough Mudder Bootcamp is a fitness concept based on power, endurance, strength, and stability. Through a range of class types — Drive, for power; Torque, for mental strength; Core Strength, for the posterior chain; Lower and Upper Builder, to build muscle and strength around joints; and Grit, for endurance — Botsford believes he can build athletes able to adapt to anything a Mudder throws at them.

“Leveraging my knowledge of timing and physiological adaptations, each workout will keep true to its desired stimulus,” Botsford explained. “Even more, the workouts are done in teams of two, three, or four, so when you need that extra push, your teammate will surely be there.” Here’s a breakdown of the 50-minute classes and how they’ll prepare you for getting dirty in a Tough Mudder event: Warm-Up: 2 Rounds, 30 seconds each of:
Jumping Jacks Push-Ups with Partner Hand Clap Flutter Kicks Single-Leg Toe Touch Synced Partner Lunges
