Health of My Family

OK- it’s official, I’m starting the 300 workout program tomorrow morning based off the movie with Gerard Butler. I looked at several different workout programs including the P90X videos in the past and wasn’t interested and I even watched the Shaun T Insanity infomercial, but that was not what I wanted either. As a skinny dude I think I need some meat on my bones, so I found some info online about the 300 workout and this seems to be how it went for the actors.

Training for the actors required 90 minutes to two hours a day, five days a week, Twight says, plus the same amount of time fight training. Stuntmen trained 90 minutes to two hours, five days a week, and another four to six hours fight training, Twight says. Everyone was given just enough food to recover from the workout, he notes.

It’s daunting, and includes these weight-training moves:

* 25 pull-ups
* 50 deadlifts at 135 pounds
* 50 push-ups
* 50 box jumps with a 24-inch box
* 50 “floor wipers” (a core and shoulders exercise at 135 pounds)
* 50 “clean and press” at 36 pounds (a weight-lifting exercise)
* 25 more pull-ups — for a total of 300 reps

There’s no rest between movements and the score is based on total time, Twight

says. I won’t be doing the 4-6hrs of fight training but the workout above looks fun. I will also be using some nutritional supplements to boost my training so watch for that article tomorrow.
