American Ninja Warrior

It is a solid show for sure. All those contestants are serious athletes, makes you feel really bad when they give you some guy inspirational back story and he crashes 20 seconds into the course.

Although I prefer the Japanese version because I laugh my @$$ off at all the screaming!

I love watching both the American and Japanese versions, and I was really impressed with Kacy Catanzaro's performance as well! It was shocking too that her trainer and boyfriend, Brent Stefenssen, got owned by the Ring Toss (or whatever the second to the last obstacle was).

Aside from the athleticism of the contestants, the obstacles that they come up with are just as amazing. It makes me think that working out and getting fit doesn't have to be a chore, you can do these things and have tons of fun

This guy makes it look pretty easy.

epic share

and yes. This show is BOSS.

WOO HOO KACY!!!

Anyone watching it? I watch it because it amazes me how athletic some of the contestants are. A 56 year old almost made it to the end on a qualifier (missed on the 14 foot vertical ramp). And Kacy Catanzaro (5 ft tall) made history being the first female to complete a qualifier and make that 14 ft. vertical ramp!!! Should be an exciting season.

I used to, until many of the contenders bombed out at the last minute last year.

I don't usually watch the show, but my boyfriend saw the link and sent it to me to watch, and I remembered her from Towson. She's a year younger than me. SO inspiring!!

this is one of my absolutely favorite shows ever. i have been watching ninja warrior for years now, and i love that we have picked it up here in the states. i've been following a lot of these athletes since they first showed up in Japan, so its exciting to see it all grow as a legitimate sport. and i was so excited when kasey finished the course, and then the next two girls as well.

watching the show is an awesome way to pump myself up for another week of good workouts. its definitely one of the things that really pushed me to finally make a change for myself. looking forward to the rest of the season....maybe this will be the year someone wins!

3 women have now gotten past the Warped Wall. it's amazing!

I love it, it's a great motivator. I have no designs on ever being able to do any of it but I look at it as if all of those people can do that surely I can achieve my goals.
I watched that tiny little girl complete her run and I was amazed and inspired, outstanding for her!

I love it too. Last weekend, I took my boys to the playground and we were climbing all over the outside of the big wooden play structure pretending to be Ninja Warriors. We were the only ones there, so nobody was wondering who the crazy middle aged woman climbing up the side of the tower was.

I love ANW! My 6 year old daughter wants me to go on the show but I need a LOT more training:) So maybe in a few years I will do it

I don't usually watch the show, but my boyfriend saw the link and sent it to me to watch, and I remembered her from Towson. She's a year younger than me. SO inspiring!!

WOW WOW!!! Athleticism at its very best!!! What an Amazing young lady!

and eye candy to boot!

I LOVE American Ninja Warrior, watch it all the time! Obsessed! And some of those guys' bodies...

I freakin' LOVE American Ninja Warrior.. I watch it for the same reason. I root for everyone to win because I am just so thoroughly impressed with their strength, agility, and just overall kick-*kitten*-ness. I literally scream and wince every time someone gets close to losing it.

Yep!

Same for me!!!

It's part of why I started training at Revolution Parkour's facility, though I find the JP version more entertaining.
