The monkey bars aren't going anywhere in 2019. It's time to finally keep your grip and ring that bell after swinging your way from start to finish.

Get ready by doing the following week of training to the best of your abilities. We write our workouts so that they can be scaled for all levels easily. Designed to use the most minimal amount of gear, they can always be performed outdoors.

Week 4 of January Obstacle Bootcamp

Always start your workouts with a warm-up and finish them with some mobility stretches. These 5-10 minutes are vital to your overall health and performance.
