Whether you’re training for a local Ninja comp, hoping to get picked for season 12, or just like to be the best Ninja you can be, Ninjas in training are often looking for ways to mix up their workouts. No matter what your goals might be, here are a few ideas that are sure to have you feeling it the next day.

Burpee Hops (our quads are already burning!)

Birthday Burpee Hops. Chavez style thanks @letsgrowtogether.with.rafi for showing these to me a while back. Great cardio burn added to already lung burning burpees. 1:21 to hit my age. Video sped up 1.75x. Thanks to a friend, I remembered that as we get older, we should never compete against our younger selves but push for our best today. Although, I did do one more birthday burpee than my younger, last year self in the same day... #fupd #burpees #burpeehops #fitness #calistenics #fitover40 #fitnear50

Work on balance/stabilizing muscles

Playing one of my favorite games with @jackiemguerra at @gamereadyp! I love the way it wakes up all these little stabilizer muscles, and challenges them to react and counterbalance, when the ball goes somewhere unexpected. *Please to NOT try to stand on the ball before you’re really solid kneeling, and are able to stand up with no assistance from a rope, wall, or outside source. If you don’t have the stability to get up, you probably haven’t developed the skills to fall safely. #getgameready #jackieguerra #stabilityball #stabilizermuscles #balancegame #proprioceptiontraining #ontheball

Some #sidelever #strength drills @simonsterstrength showed me at his workshop in Denver. So simple... so profoundly tough. Bodyweight gains - ➡️Swipe. If you've never looked up @simonsterstrength do yourself a favor and get on that. He's one of the most physically talented, accomplished, superhuman freaks I've ever met! I kid you not, he's one of the best, fittest dudes in the world. Also, a class act, super nice guy. If ever he decides to try #NinjaWarrior... best look out everyone! Thanks for the tips and private training session, Simon #breakdancing #bodyweightstrength #handstand #performance #planchegod - (& yes, my shirt DOES say "Handstand And Chill" Easily the best shirt ever made @awaken_gym ) #BeRockSolid #RaylRoadie #WorkHard #Ninja #BodyWeight #Calisthenics #Fitness #Training
