There aren’t very many things I watch live on television other than sports. That is what Tivo and netflix are for. There Is one show however, that I am willing to watch whenever I get the chance and that is American Ninja Warrior.
There are a couple of reasons I like the show so much. One is the crazy athletes that are on the show. Some of the things these people can do are just amazing. In fact, just tonight they showed a guy who was able to do chin ups using just one of his pinky fingers. I don’t even know how that’s possible. I cant even do a chin up with both arms.
The second reason, is the obstacle courses that they create to challenge these gifted athletes. Some of the stuff they come up with is just fantastic. It leaves us to watch impressive feats of strength for those who succeed and some sick falls for those who don’t. Its very compelling television, to say the least.
I think that instead of throwing up cross fit gyms on every other corner, that people should open Ninja Warrior gyms.  I would love to run the courses and see how I could do. No matter if I fell on the first obstacle or made it to the end, I know one thing is for certain, I would have on awesome time trying it out.  I’m just guessing, that I’m not the only one who feels this way.
