Bodyweight 500 Workout Vs. 300 Movie Workout | Discover How To Burn Maximum Body Fat In 10 - 15 Minutes
If you remember the movie 300, you probably remember the incredible bodies of the Spartan warriors. Most people thought that these weren't the real bodies of the actors and in fact were the result of special effects. But the truth is that these actors used a special exercise program known as the 300 movie workout that helped them to achieve their amazing physiques.
The problem is that the 300 movie workout involves exercises which require equipment not found in home gyms and even in most commercial gyms. This means that most regular people won't be able to do this program.
That's why Craig Ballantyne, the creator of Turbulence Training and a leading expert in fitness and nutrition came up with the Bodyweight 500 Workout which doesn't require any weights at all but can still get you the kind of body those Spartan warriors actors had in the movie 300.

Bodyweight 500 - Not For Everyone
For that end, Craig Ballantyne created an alternative workout session called the Bodyweight 100. This is still an intensive session, but it allows you to build yourself up to the Bodyweight 500.
Do it for 3 weeks 2-3 times a week and also do some cardio interval training. By the end of the month you can try the Bodyweight 500 Workout.

My Own Take on The Bodyweight 500 Workout
I have to say that I found the Bodyweight 500 Workout to be very hard. I was sweating profusely by the time I was done.
I doubt if it's for everyone. But I will say this: if you have a short time to exercise but still want to feel like you did a real workout, the Bodyweight 500 Workout is the way to go. It works on all your body parts and gets your heart pumping like mad.
It truly is massive.
Bodyweight 1000 Workout
This is a massive workout which can deliver fantastic results in fat burning and muscle toning. But you need to be fit in order to do it.
Start with the Bodyweight 100 or 500, and then advance to the 1000. Make sure to get the follow-along DVDs to make sure you're doing it right: Body Weight Workout DVDs

Do the cardio workout for cardio and the strength warm up for strength

this question is regarding interval training and warm-ups (required in all TT manuals).
Basically, under warm-up section it says for example,
"Warm-up
%u2022 Never skip a warm-up. For a warm-up, perform this circuit 2x's using a 2-0-1 tempo:
- 10 reps of bodyweight squats or lying hip extensions
- 20 second plank
- 6-10 reps of kneeling pushups or pushups
- Do not rest during the warm-up circuit."
Then under "interval training" section it states,
"Warm-up for 5 minutes using the same mode of exercise you will use for intervals (i.e. if you are going to run for intervals, make sure you warm-up with running, progressing from light to more intense exercise)."
QUESTION - So which is better. Run-Jog-Run (for boh warm-up and IT) or squats, pushups etc.

tyvm.
I will start with this and after 4-weeks move to another program with or without equipment.
Though its my first time and the manual says "advanced", i think will do it cos I am not that fat and 21 years old. Am I right in starting with this?
thank u so much. U have been very helpful and patient.
thx again.
