We love our friends, but motivation levels to take on challenging and out-of-the-box activities may vary person-to-person within groups – and that’s OK! But it’s also a great feeling to get out of your comfort zone alongside your favorite people, so in case you’re in a persuasive mood this year, we’ve come up with a few ways to convince your pals that running a Tough Mudder might just become their favorite memory of the year. This is your how-to guide for encouraging (um, peer pressuring) your friends to take on a mud event with you.
1. You’ll be bonding with the best
Looking back on memories is half the fun (and sometimes even more fun than the activity felt at the time). When you’re on an adventure with your best friends, the camaraderie is what takes a Tough Mudder event from fun to remember when Jenny faceplanted into a pool of mud? Laughing alongside your friends while challenging yourself will make this friend group outing one for the books.
2. It’s a party like no other
Yes, there’s mud. It’s like, kind of our thing. But it’s more than mud, sweat and tears – it’s an event like no other. You face the hard stuff, like the 9-to-5 grind, every day. Escape the ordinary tough and take on this challenge with your friends.
You’ll get dirty. Like, really dirty. But when your cheeks hurt from laughing so hard and you have stories to tell everyone who missed out, you’ll be so glad you conquered the course with your friends by your side. Plus, you’ll gain elite status and be welcomed into the baddest of the bad: Mudder Nation.
3. You can train, but it’s not required
It may seem intimidating, but you don’t have to be ultra-fit to join in on the fun. You’ll run, jump, climb,and push yourself – but you can do it. Plus, imagine how great you’ll feel after leaving your comfort zone and accomplishing something you didn’t think was possible.
4. You’ll embark on a workout with a difference
Sure, you could get your workout in with a Saturday gym class, but that wouldn’t cultivate the same teamwork, endurance and hustle. It’s time to say goodbye to the status quo and take on challenges that push your limits.
5. You’ll work hard and play hard
What better way to complete your workout than being greeted with a refreshing beer? Tough Mudder knows the importance of working hard and playing harder – that’s why we have cold beer cans on deck at the finish line. There are no excuses when it comes to conquering the course and enjoying a well-deserved drink afterward.
Think this is enough to convince your friends to join in on the fun? Find a Tough Mudder event near you.
