You’ll develop speed and quick foot movement through balance obstacles as well as the ability to move your body in space through swinging exercises.
Body Awareness
Body awareness is highly undertrained and under thought about as an elite metric to train. If you have a better ability to understand where your body is in space and interpret where your next move is going more efficiently you’ll always be a step ahead of the competition! This is epitome of ninja training! you always have to understand where your body is in space and move effectively and fluidly to maximize your speed and efficiency on the course!
Core and Upper Body Strength
The upper body strength increase is an obvious one but the core strength gained from ninja warrior training is unreal! When swinging through the air it takes a different type of core strength to be able to adjust and navigate your body through the air combatting gravity and all the forces pulling you in every direction! Not only will your core strength be on another level but your shoulder mobility and stability will greatly improve! This will help reduce injuries while skyrocketing performance!
