Ready to take your Tough Mudder experience to the next level!? Upper body strength and cardio endurance are two crucial factors when training for these types of events. This training program is going to help you not only build the strength you need to finish, but help you avoid injuries as well.
The workout consists of cardio, two training circuits and a cool-down and you can perform this routine 3 - 4 times week. The exercises were designed to simulate many of the obstacles that are on the course.
If you struggle with any of the exercises, we have modifiers at the end of the video that you can use to help you build up your strength.
Remember, the Tough Mudder consists of running short distances and then completing a challenging obstacle. Not all courses are the same. Some are very flat, and some are up and down hills / mountains. With that in mind, check out the terrain of the course you will be competing on to ensure you know what you are in for.

[@LiveAnabolic]

Good stuff Scott! I'm training for my very first Spartan Race (beast) in 2016. Recording the entire journey on my channel. Going from bodybuilding to Spartan Racing is no joke! Thanks for the great info.

Hey bro I’ve been training for this all year, I’ve been doing my normal workouts and then doing a lot more cardio, I have a week before my race in Las Vegas when do you stop and rest or do you just keep exercising do the obstacle or do you give yourself a four-day period of no exercising

[@Wobling]

Great video and something I'd love to do some day. Good luck.

[@Wobling]

Also does anyone know the music track name?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Rob Watling Thanks man, and the music was custom made for the video. The artists info is in the info section of the video :)

[@Erinski]

I hope the next Herbie video has this same quality filming/editing. This is well very well done :)

[@OSRSDontTryIT]

Hello Scott, Thank you for putting together this video. Could you recommend how long a fit individual would need to train in preparation for a 15K Tough Mudder? Thank you.

[@justinobrien8383]

Great video. Im excited to someday do one of these myself...btw I am in the army, not a very good "army crawl" haha good stuff man

[@ScottHermanFitness]

haha yeah I noticed while in edit my but as a little too high. but at thse events they make the barb wire high enough for all shapes and sizes so at least ill be safe. thanks man!!

[@justinobrien8383]

Haha its all good. Love the Vids! Hope to see some footage from the olympia!

[@carlhungusjr]

Hey guys I have a question, if I were to do this would I have to do both circuits in the same day or split them into two days? Thanks in advance

[@cuzzywuzzyfuzzy]

Aweomse work bro hopefully I can master this

[@NakedWarriorPoland]

awesome training tips. Thank you. But i'm wandering , with big muscles you have, what is your marathon or 1/2 marathon PR?

[@functionalpatternskp2423]

Hey Scott, would you mind telling me exactly which model of the New Balance Minimus those shoes are? Would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

[@markmichalski4699]

How many times a week should this circuit be done?

[@Felipera_]

this kind of event sounds like hella fun, is it an american thing only?

[@JJN410]

Hi, do you recommend performing both circuits on the same day or alternate days and circuits eg. Mon circuit 1, Tues circuit 2 Rest day(s), etc.? Thanks for the great job and sharing!!

[@gnarleypunkroker5]

i enjoyed the way this was filmed in black and white with the warehouse door open..or just a big light.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

thanks ***** and yeah the door was open. Worked great!!

[@rckev224]

Scott, what benchmarks should we be able to hit with sprints, pullups, plyo pushups & goblet squats to know when we're ready to compete in a Tough Mudder?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Well to be honest, I see people of all ages doing them and you work with a team on the obstacles. Even if you can't do a pull-up, you have people helping you get up and over walls. :) You should join us in the FORUMS on my site, they are FREE and you will really enjoy interacting with the other community members.

[@gokuvegeta4378]

Thank you for this video. Two of my friends and my self are gonna see if we can make our very first tough mudder half and we only have until July 14th to train for it. I my self hv just started my fittness back into my life I'm 6'2" 235pounds 27 years old about 16-20% body fat.

[@johnnycigar7699]

How many times a week should I do it? I have a toughest event in five months that I want to do because it's before army and everything! :) Edit: On the jumping lounges, do I do 15 of them on each leg? My friend is telling me this and that would be 30 reps wouldn't it?

[@EnhancedSportsPerformance]

wow amazing cinematography scott, really nicely done video :)

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks lusby16 !!

[@aaronkeaner7927]

If I don't have a sand bag can I use a 50lb dumbell

[@BenniZiegler]

Thanks for the Video! Best Training Video seen so far! I've run the course myself and I gotta say, especially the Sneakers and Cotton Shirts make this Event a real TOUGH Mudder, but I understand and appreciate your choice of clothing;)

[@sobriquetsunshine7585]

oh my gosh!!! So helpful and informative!!!! Thank you so much!!! So much I didn't think about.

[@ohmargodness]

You've become so ripped compared to 2011 videos !! Hope you smash it bro

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks Omar Allouji , focusing on those #nattygains!

[@xxsolidsnake]

Another great Video Scott . I like your normal and friendly approach . I've done 4 mud runs in 2014 in the U.K. . Already planning my next ones . I like your tips for the wall . The longest one I did was a 10 mile called pain and suffering . Tough course and about 8 walls to contend with on last mile

[@phantasmo14]

Loving the production quality on this! Thanks for the hard work

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks for watching brotha! :)

[@charlottematthews7550]

This was a really good video! can I ask can you do the tough mudder if you have asthma? I stopped training a little under a year a go due to the realisation my asthma is not going and I would not be able to get in to the military. I would love to get back in to training and the tough mudder seems like a good thing to work towards!

[@MahmoudYahyaoui]

waiting for the video , waiting for you !! Good Luck !!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thank you Mahmoud Yahyaoui !!

[@Betancourt171]

Kool Thx For The Tips For Tough Mudder I Start April 8 2017 at 7am In Arizona.

[@andrewroberts8139]

Okay, first of all, I have a bit of an issue with guys taking their shirts off for athletic events/training. Just not necessary

[@coreymichaelhollins]

Hush up beta male

[@trololololo4470]

Do you think that Tom Cruise could be there? :P

[@ScottHermanFitness]

[@Arxfatal1985]

[@ScottHermanFitness]

[@jessebaconballs]

Your my motivation. 💪

[@rubenmexbeast394]

what's the age requirements for tough mudder?

[@jordan_23_allen40]

I weigh 152 pounds and I'm 5'10" and no matter how hard I try I cant get ripped... I try to eat healthy but I don't have the money and I don't know if working out is actually working out for me even though I love it. What should I do?

[@jordan_23_allen40]

ScottHermanFitness thanx I'll give it a look ...I used ur bicep workout today and I feel the burn...

[@JuergenSpang]

Is it possible that you lost even more body fat during the prep. for the tough mudder?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

To be honest.. I was sick for like 4 days straight and then had 2 days to "fill in" before this video. I lost a bit of muscle and fat from being sick... but I guess it worked out for the video.. but hate being sick :/

[@brianmortensen1793]

Nice cinematography!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks Brian Mortensen !!

[@darionothree]

I will be doing my first tough mudder this year in scotland! This video will certainly help!!

[@Gumnball]

Will you carry Tom Cruise on your back ? Just kidding, nice video Scott. ;) I did my first Spartan Race (sept 14 - France, Paris edition) we don't have Tough Mudder yet, I would love to join one. I'll use your workout to prepare my GF and myself for the next one. You're right, gears are important, get a nice pair of shoes (I have the Reebok all terrain) It may cost a lot but you don't want to suffer from it for 2hours or more. Next time I will go shirtless cause the shirt gets too heavy to carry. ;) Don't hesitate to register guys, it's a perfect group experience and a lot of fun !!!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

haha Gumnball , well it wouldnt be the first mudder I have had to carry someone! lol. Glad to see you are doing them as well. So cool the GF does them too!!!

[@annabelsalaises5941]

How often do I do these?

[@totalyzero]

I dont even want to do tough mudder this year, but hell yeah that video was awesome!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks Andy Fit !
