Thursday, June 7th, 2007

You too can have abs like the Spartan warriors from the movie 300! Just follow this easy workout:

25 pullups, 50 deadlifts with 135 pounds, 50 pushups, 50 jumps on a 24-inch box, 50 floor wipers, 50 single-arm clean-and-presses using a 36-pound kettlebell, and 25 more pullups. Do this workout for time - try & beat your time from before. Like a race. Speed, power & intensity are key. All circuits completed in 20 minutes.

Easy.
