'Beat the wall, beat the wall'. It's a regular chant in our household as excitement reaches fever pitch in the closing moments of the popular TV programme Ninja Warrior UK: Race for Glory.

My ten and six-year-old daughters absolutely love watching the family entertainment, which sees opponents take on a physical obstacle assault course as part of an ITV game show. 

And now they've done it themselves!

Having visited Ninja Warrior's Southampton site, at Antelope Business Park in Thornhill, earlier in the year, we took a trip back to try it out once again following a £250,000 refurbishment. 

The all-new inflatable with brand-new obstacles such as climbing walls, a redesigned obstacle run, launch pad and slides has definitely made a difference and the venue feels fresher, cleaner and less busy. 

There are three sections, the first a run where you can test your Ninja skills while climbing, balancing and swinging across obstacles.

We managed to balance, jump, and swing, lift, and most definitely fall, our way around the giant inflatable, using muscles we didn't even know we had!

Then it was time to beat the wall. 

Both girls were determined to succeed and conquer the famous Warped Wall before pressing a buzzer at the top.

After a busy morning trying to conquer the courses, we were certainly ready for our lunch - some tasty pizzas washed down with energy boosting slushies - in the onsite cafe overlooking the obstacles. 

I felt like I'd done a seriously tough full-body workout, but had so much family fun in the process. 

It's a great activity and we loved the atmosphere. Give it a go and unleash your inner ninja!
