Lauren Fisher - I Tried The Marines Corps Obstacle Course...

I took on a different challenge of training today and I tried the Marine Corps Obstacle Course with Austen Alexander overseeing it. Ahhhh so much pressure to complete the course in a timely manner. I was also so nervous about because this was very similar to the 2012 CrossFit Games Obstacle course, but each obstacle was about a foot higher. I also did two extra obstacles the Games athletes ran through at the end. All the fun and SO nervous! Come cheer me on and watch if I finish!
Thank you to the Marines for making this opportunity happen at Camp Pendleton! To everyone who has served: you are a badass and thank you for your service.

Thanks for coming out!! It was a blast 💥

[@paytonzerkle1387]

Hey Austen can you do a video with tips on how to train to join the Navy. I'm only 12 but this is something I really want to do.

[@killersnake1175]

I like it how u say is marines do it in style on the last bar where we flip over

[@lauren_fisher]

Yes it was! Thank you so much for introducing me to this new and amazing experience. Lots of love and respect to those who have and continue to serve! 💪🏻

[@CRAZYHORSE19682003]

I have seen you do the college boy roll in other videos.

[@rickiovine2170]

This is what defines these CrossFit girls. In practice Lauren struggled on one obstacle, and skipped 2 others. When the stopwatch started it all changed. It is now competition, that inner light turns on, and she is in beast mode. (“Don’t make me angry. You won’t like me when I’m angry.”) She absolutely crushed this course, and I would love to see how her time compares with the Marines.

[@stephenrowell9373]

Yes Lauren did really well, considering she would of been a bit more careful than others because she could not risk getting injured her time was very impressive ,and her height disadvantage was a factor as well.

[@Buzz-rh4dz]

As a former Infantry SSgt, I commend you. That course mangles people. My hats off to you.

[@Kanglar]

In boot camp our drill instructor demonstrated the rope by climbing it without using his feet, as if we all didn't already think he was inhuman lol

[@lauren_fisher]

OMG lol. I don't know if I could have done it legless.

[@miguelhorna4658]

@@lauren_fisher you’re a CrossFitter, you guys are badass when it comes to hardcore endurance, cardio and obstacle course

[@danielleelizabeth9417]

Great job Lauren. I love how you acknowledge how your nervous, this is normal and healthy. You are an inspiration!

[@gi_gi143]

She's amazing! Other people had to be lifted in the beginning of the course, or hop from the top of one log to another near the end of the course, but she did it the way the guys have done it like it was nothing! So in awe right now...

[@bobfromsales9036]

😍 Lauren Fisher is the darling of CrossFit. 🥰

[@paullee8875]

You know a course is super difficult when even the trainer is struggling with it😀

[@lauren_fisher]

Oh yeah. It for sure was a lot harder than it looked. So happy I got to try it!

[@scottw.3258]

Jesus. What a beast. You made that look easy!!! Kudos.

[@lauren_fisher]

Not easy at all. But I tried my hardest!

[@NueThunderKing]

@@lauren_fisher the way you were panting at the end was me just watching the video, damn you did great.

[@sarafinajeanbaptiste128]

Omg Lauren you are a queen! I salute you !!!! I want to be just like you !!!!!

[@jironsr9558]

Damn you would make a great marine!

[@lauren_fisher]

Aww that is so sweet. Thank you so much!

[@SDesWriter]

That was seriously impressive. You did each obstacle which is more than most people could do, and all in a pretty good time. That's the course for buffed 6' tall marines and you did it as well so it's an impressive accomplishment. I'd love to have tried that when I was in my teens/20s, but I probably couldn't have done the rope climb with that thick a rope. So I was never as fit as you, despite starring in track, playing football, basketball and even wrestling. Kudos....

[@Joel_2_13]

Remember doing this course in boot camp. It is harder than it looks. Great job!

[@jennyjfm5651]

Wow admirable the strength and ability of this girl .. I am impressed .. Thank you for this super video .. I love it ..

[@lauren_fisher]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for your kind words Jenny!

You did a excellent job Lauren you were amazing u yo girl u showed a lot of. Core strength❤

[@dwayneyucra7315]

4:00 🤣 The way you just shrugged it off, already knowing you got it just cracked me up, but the way you smashed that course was beast mode 💯

[@lauren_fisher]

Lol I got so frustrated. All good though. It happens. 🤣

[@derrickscott1630]

She blasted through that course! Kinda looks like fun

[@lauren_fisher]

Fun but a lot harder than it looks. That rope at the end was burning!

[@nightmaretrooper5064]

I'm a man and used to be a Gymnast as a kid. When I was in my mid teens. I went to Paris Island South Carolina 3 times and The Gymnastics training manage to help get through Obstacle course. Even climbing the long silver bars up and down was so easy for me. I even said. "Phew thank god I took Gymnastics." I even got a Hardcore reward.

[@morexansplease4347]

She’s a total badass. Imagine if she went through Marine boot camp

[@LuMpeN1231yy]

Lauren, you are the Rock and Sweet! You are always my idol and roll model to me. I have a issue of my mental so for now I can't even go out, hangout with someone, but always when I watching your videos, these are make me smile and give me a lot of courage for get over my problems. I wannabe like you! Thankyou Lauren. Queen of Strong and Beauty💓💓

[@protoman1214]

This course is deceptively difficult. Having run it dozens of times when I was in, I can say being tall is a huge advantage. Some of those logs are so difficult because the thickness of the logs, not necessarily the height. I saw dozens of short Marines who were PT studs but really struggled with this course. Even when I got out of shape my last year, I could still manage to fumble my way through this course and it was 100% just because of my lanky ass legs and arms 😅 That said, the fact you crushed the course is insane There’s actually a scaled down version of this course somewhere on Camp Pendleton. When I first saw it, I mistakenly thought it was the women’s course (females do the same course as the men) ...later I found out it was only scaled down so Marines could run through with equipment on like a flak jacket, Kevlar and rifle. Last I heard it was taped off due to damage and it was unsafe. I don’t think they have plans to fix it since Marines always hurt themselves doing that course

[@s_i_8699]

Ok this is my first time seeing you and you're literally the inspiration I needed ✨✨

The two people who disliked this video were probably Marines who failed the O-Course...

[@Dan_Konrath]

it´s not called "O-Course", that is from Bud´s (Seal)

Marines don't fail the NATO obstacle course. It was pretty easy when I was still active duty

[@va1erykachurin]

I like these videos! you're doing great! if the instructor is "heavy" for some obstacle, he asks Lauren if she would like to try it herself😁

[@lauren_fisher]

He's not heavy and he did an amazing job. It wasn't an easy course.

[@va1erykachurin]

@@lauren_fisher Lauren, I'm just kidding....So I put the word "heavy" in quotation marks...I doubt that a person making a video on this topic will not be able to overcome these obstacles...I wanted to make a compliment, to emphasize how you cope with your goal in visiting a blogger on his " home field" ;)

Binged both videos! The fitness test and the course here. Awesome job Lauren! Absolutely crushed both. Think on a second try, you could easily beat that 2 minute mark. I know you got the focus for the games coming up but eventually, a Spartan race would be a good challenge or make a cool video.

[@lauren_fisher]

Thanks Aleroth! Spartan Race sounds fun. I've heard they are super tough though.

[@warwolf116]

@@lauren_fisher Depends on the distance and where you're running but I don't see you struggling anywhere except for MAYBE Killington and Big Bear. Even then I think you'd crush them.

[@Joecool20147]

The O-Course is a good time, it is definitely OP to be tall especially because this one did seem taller then most

If you want to try a nice obstacle course go to French Guyana at CEFE (Centre d'entraînement à la forêt équatoriale) it's tough one.

It's interesting that he couldn't do the first bar and she could: is there a point where large muscles work against you? Like he's so big or top have he can't manage to flip himself over. And the fast she's a lot smaller then him in ration with muscles allowed her to manage it.

Was this before or after the combat Marine test? 😳

Middle post route was definitely the way to go on this course.. way too tall !
