If you ever had the opportunity to see the movie 300, you were probably amazed at the kind of sculpted bodies the actors who played the Greek warriors displayed. In the beginning I thought it was some type of special effects trick, but you they did a unique routine called the 300 workout. This workout is difficult for ordinary individuals to do since it takes a lot of equipment which most gyms don't have.
So a famous fitness expert called Craig Ballantyne chose to produce a similar workout called the 300 Workout which doesn't require any weights or equipment but continues to be intensive enough to create fast fat loss and muscle sculpting results.
Here is what the 300 Workout includes:
- 50 Prisoner Squats
- 50 Pushups
- 25 Jumps
- 25 Stability Ball Leg Curls
- 50 Stability Ball Jackknifes
- 50 Step-ups (25 reps per side)
- 25 Pull-ups (NO substitutions)
- 50 Forward Lunges (25 reps per side)
- 50 Close-grip Pushups
- 50 Inverted Rows
- 50 Squats
- 25 Chin-ups (NO substitutions)
In total you receive 500 repetitions of those exercises which prevent your bodyweight and nothing more. That's why they call it the Bodyweight 500 workout. You have to perform these 500 reps one after the other without pausing. Believe me, it's very intensive. Through the end of the session you'll be huffing and puffing and sweating profusely. However , you will have also burned a lot of calories, spiked your heartbeat, and worked nearly every muscle in your body. Also it takes a ridiculously short time to do it.
Only one thing you need to know: this workout session is intensive, so do not do it unless you're already fit. But if you are, then get it done. Whenever you finish it, the feeling rocks !.
