The Core Workout That Will Get You Through Black Widow

Meet Black Widow: An intricate series of 30-foot long tightropes suspended over water that’s enough to give anyone arachnophobia.

You’ll need balance, agility, and mental grit to get out of this sticky, tricky obstacle that’s on both Tough Mudder 5K and Tough Mudder Classic courses—not to mention a killer core workout to give you the ab strength you’ll need to maneuver your way through this web.

Here’s a little taste of the hairy beast that’s Black Widow:

Intimidated? Don’t be. Channel your inner spidey sense and practice these core strengthening exercises—they’ll have you on (and off) the ropes in record speed. To complete it, move through four rounds of the three ab exercises in order, and do a 30-second plank hold between each round.

Ab-Burning Core Workout

15 Russian Twists

30 Flutter Kicks

15 Sit Ups

Do a 30-second plank hold between rounds
