Does anyone else watch this show? It is a obstacle course that most people fail at. When one gets through I cheer at the TV. The show inspires me to get more fit and work on my upper body fitness. One day I would like to try the obstacle course for myself.

    I love that show. It inspired me as well. I don't know if I would ever do anything like that, but I sure would like to be able to if I wanted to!!!!!!!! Goal to work toward!

    Watched quite a lot of the Japanese originals - very impressed by the people that do well in the 2nd/3rd stage - though the third stage seemed to get a bit focused on grip strength for a bit - I reckon a rock climbing free runner would be the ideal candidate.

    We like to watch this show. I'm amazed by the people who make the distance. Their balance and agility are amazing to me. I couldn't participate, but I get a vicarious thrill watching it.

    Awesome show!!!! The Japanese version is obviously better, but it is GREAT to see an American do it, especially one that is almost 1' taller than his Japanese counterparts, on the SAME course.

    Obsessed with both the American and Japanese versions. I don't know if I would ever try one (I'm focusing on cutting out obesity by just 5 lbs at a time - baby freakin steps), but I love seeing what a strong human body can do, and that in and of itself is motivating. They're awesome shows!

    Yeah - it's a great show!! I loved the recent episode where the first woman made it through the course. That was very inspiring!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE that show! I cheered when Casey made it over the wall! I would love for a chance at the course! Last year's course to be specific... this years seems to really push on upper body strength! I'm a weakling, but working on it!
