The pioneer of modern obstacle races, Spartan will return to Dubai on Friday at the Jebel Ali Racecourse in Al Barsha. To get you in the swing of this fitness extreme, here’s some top tips.
Z WALL
The goal is to traverse across the wall and reach the bell at the other side, without touching the top of the wall, or your feet touching the ground.
TIP: Keep your body as close to the wall as possible. Utilize your legs, and keep a firm stance. Also make sure your hands grip the blocks as this will really help.
The goal is to raise the weight to the top and back down in control, without dropping the weight.
TIP: Go into a low squatting position to keep your weight low, and use your back muscles to pull the rope. We recommend using a hand-over-hand motion to pull the rope.
