The first step is learning to <a href=\"http:\/\/sortaoutdoorsy.us11.list-manage2.com\/track\/click?u=f9307d87a403a4322960a5355&amp;id=8a11d2eb7c&amp;e=b9f7edb802\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/sortaoutdoorsy.us11.list-manage2.com\/track\/click?u%3Df9307d87a403a4322960a5355%26id%3D8a11d2eb7c%26e%3Db9f7edb802&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1456507020798000\">run at the wall and step on to it<\/a> with your dominant foot. The trick is to keep your knee bent as opposed to stepping too early which results in your leg being straighter and makes it harder to propel your body upward. Once we\u2019d practiced a few times, our instructor removed the mat. We were surprised that we were able to get up the wall after only a few tries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-9NCe2Q wp-block-paragraph\">The ultimate test is on a wall about the height of the one on the show. We charged at it at full speed and missed the top a few times. Our instructor spotted us with a mat behind us so we could fall backward with no consequence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our favorite part of the Ninja Warrior class we wrote about in the newsletter this week was learning how to run up a wall.
