If you liked the challenging workout put out by that health magazine with three hundred repetitions of challenging workouts, you are going to love the one with five hundred. The 300 challenge was hard because it has a lot of equipment involved and people couldn’t do it at home. A good challenge is going to let you do it anywhere. Challenges with kettlebells, boxjumps, and other gear rules out a lot of people. This is exactly the reason I developed the 500 rep challenge so that body weight is all you need, but you can add extra weights if you want to.

You just can’t discredit the effects of body weight routines because they have been proven to be awesome ways to burn fat and get fit. You can get a body like one of the Greek’s ancient Gods all without having to trudge over to the gym if you don’t want to.

I did the 300 challenge from the film and it truly is a good workout. It involved twenty five pull ups, fifty deadlifts with 130 pounds, fifty push-ups, fifty two-foot boxed jumpers, fifty floored wipes, fifty KB cleaning presses, and then twenty five pull ups.

So that really is tough, but I think I have something better with five hundred reps that will challenge even the most fit athlete.

Here’s how it goes: Prisoner’s squat: fifty reps.

Push ups: fifty.
Jumping: twenty five.
Balance-ball curling (legs): twenty five.
Balance-ball jack knives: 50.
Stepping up: twenty five on each side.
Pull ups: Twenty five. Don’t leave these out.
FW Lunge: twenty five on left, twenty five on right.
Closed hand push up: fifty.
Inverse rowing: fifty.
Squatting: fifty.
Chin ups: twenty five. Don’t trade these out!

With all that done, you will see that you get a good workout, especially with all those pulls. Don’t worry though, once you complete all this you are going to feel juiced.
