Obstacle course races are all the rage, why train for “just running” when you can train for a variety of challenging obstacles requiring full body strength, coordination and mobility - not to mention endurance!  With more OCR style gyms popping up and the popularity of American Ninja Warrior many people are training a lot but missing some simple mobility drills they can do to give themselves the competitive edge they want.  

Below are our 5 Must Have Mobility Drills for Obstacle Course Racers. There’s two with an upper body focus and 3 for a lower body focus.

 Upper Body Mobility Drills

Quadruped Thoracic Rotations
