A REAL tough workout

As you read this, I’ll be getting ready to head off to Saturday’s Tough Mudder run. My best friend of over 31 years is joining me, but I don’t expect the Toronto version to be as difficult as the Colorado event (that involved a 4000 foot climb in elevation).

Not that the first 12-mile Tough Mudder challenge was really that tough. Frankly, it was a little boring. I remember thinking,  “Should be called the ‘Long Jog’ instead of Tough Mudder.”

There are a few fun obstacles like Everest and Cliffhanger, but at no time did it feel like a Hardcore workout. (Although the Arctic Enema is hardcore in it’s own way – I’ll explain on Monday.)

The truth is that the REAL hardcore, tough workouts are done in training, so that when you actually do your race, it’s easy.

If you want a REAL tough and hard-to-the-core workout, you’ll get those in the TT Hardcore System here.

It’s just $7 – but the sale ends today

Considering it cost over $150 just to enter the Tough Mudder (not too mention hotel, gas, and food), you’ll agree that 7 bucks for three workouts is the ultimate hardcore workout deal. (Plus, no mud all over your clothes and on your face.)

If you don’t think TT can be tough, just try Workout A from the free bonus workout I’m giving you in the Hardcore deal.
