The Tough Mudder Workout Challenge

Tough Mudder is not as simple as the Wipeout course you've seen on reality TV, it is a true test of your physical and mental ability. To successfully complete the 20 km course you'll need to overcome obstacles like the Mud Run, Electroshock Therapy where you sprint through a field of live wires, the Ball Shrinker where you must cross and icy body of water by walking on a tight rope and much more.
