How Difficult is the 300 Movie Workout? 

Many people were awed by the amazing bodies of the actors in the movie “300” and it got them to wondering, how did these men get such ripped and well sculpted bodies? The answer to that is the 300 movie workout.

The workout was specially programmed by trainer Craig Ballantyne and was built specifically to force the actors’ bodies to produce the kind of results that were needed for the movie. This exercise regimen consists of numerous reps of certain exercises that focus on parts of the body that need to be really defined.

When asked if the 300 movie workout is tough, the person who invented this regimen insists that it can be done but only if you have had previous weight and fitness training. This means that this workout is tough and to prove it, only half of the cast and the movie’s stunt crew were actually able to successfully complete this routine.

While the workout is tough, it is doable. You need not do the exact same routine as the people in the movie though. There is a revised version of this exercise routine meant for those who do not really need the quick bulges of muscles that the movie workout gives.

The revised 300 movie workout lowers the reps down to 150 for men and 100 for women. Some of the exercises have also been replaced with similar yet less intense versions of the original ones in the program. While this revised workout does guarantee results, don’t expect it to be as defined and as bulge producing as the original workout.
