Hobie Call''s How to Train for Obstacle Course Racing

First off, I received my DVD in a personally addressed mailer from Hobie which meant a lot to me. Here''s a guy who is at the top of his sport and he is taking the time to address an envelope to me. I was very appreciative of this and it shows you just what kind of guy Hobie is and how sincere he is about promoting our sport.

Overview: This DVD provides you not only with specific workout guidance, but it truly gives you insight into the level of intensity, commitment, effort, and the mindset that is required to be an elite obstacle racer. Hobie addresses all aspects of obstacle racing fitness and lays out exactly how he does it regarding nutrition, warmup, running, and upper body work. He delivers his advice in his straight-forward, no-frills, Hobie Call way and then he puts on the weight vest and shows you how it''s done. When you watch the video for the first time, you''ll be incredulous at his level of endurance a Navy Seal has nothing on this guy. From the warm-up through the absolutely insane upper body workout it becomes clear why Hobie is the best in the business. This DVD is geared for the advanced athlete, but Hobie addresses the beginner athlete and refers them to his website whereby they can modify certain moves and work toward improvement. I''ve been training seriously for obstacle racing for a year now by doing P90X, Insanity, obstacle related workouts, and marathon training but this DVD takes things to another level. It brought clarity to me in that I now realize I''m nowhere near elite status, but I''m encouraged by the fact that I now have an additional set of tools and guidance to help me get there.

Many thanks to Hobie for sharing the secrets of his success with the rest of us! Aroo!
