Tough Training: The 8-Minute Agility Drills To Get You Moving

If you ever feel like there’s lead in your shoes, it might be time to try some agility workouts. By taking just 8 minutes out of your day—yep, just 8 minutes—you’ll be nimble enough to breeze through the Tough Mudder course and its most challenging obstacles.

E-Rock, the Tough Mudder Bootcamp Program Director, will lead you through this bodyweight agility workout that’s sure to get you sweating. The workout is broken down into 4 different cycles of 3 exercises, each of which targets a different body part or movement. Each cycle lasts 90 seconds, and E-Rock even lets you take 30 seconds of precious rest between sets. Here’s the breakdown (each exercise is to be performed for 30 seconds):

Set 1 (Full Body)

Jumping Jacks

Windmill Toe Touches

Pushups

Set 2 (Lower Body)

High Knees

Lateral High Knees

Lateral Quick Step Burpee

Set 3 (Balance)

Standing Toe Touches

Reverse Lunges

Reverse Lunge High Steps

Set 4 (Upper Body)

Plank Shoulder Taps

Mountain Climbers

Tuck Jumps

If you’re not tired after that full-body workout, you weren’t trying hard enough. You’ll need to push through the pain, because that’s what you’ll be doing on the Tough Mudder course. If you don’t have enough mental fortitude, you won’t be able to conquer obstacles like Kong Infinity—an 18-foot high, 20-foot long Legionnaire-designed hand-over-hand barrel roll obstacle.

We know you have 8 minutes to spare, so find some open space and get working. It’s going to be difficult, no doubt, but with E-Rock’s help and the right attitude, you’ll kick ass on the course. And for more tips on how to master Kong Infinity, check out our how-to video with expert advice from Tough Mudder Pro Team member Hunter McIntyre and Coach. Best of luck out there, Mudders.
