Great workout with ideas for the less accomplished,

This review is from: 300 Spartan Workout DVD- The Original Workout to Achieve the 300 Movie Body! (DVD)
Steve Maxwell takes you through a circuit of ten exercises that use just body weight and a pull up bar. The idea is to perform thirty reps of each exercise before moving to the next exercise. You may need to do say 10 reps, rest 10-20 seconds, then do 8 reps, rest, do 6 reps, etc. until you finally reach thirty reps.
Steve also points out ways you can modify the exercises in case you are able to perform the full exercise. For instance, if you cannot do a full pullup, then you could use a lower bar and rest your heels out away from the bar so you only pull up a portion of your weight. Over time you can raise the bar incrementally until you are able to do all 30 pull ups from hanging position. Likewise, pushups could be started on a raised bar so you are at an incline and only pushing a portion of your total weight. The Spartan reference is not needed. It plays off the popularity of the film "300" and the legendary toughness of the Spartan warriors. But it does emphasize the point that this will get you into super "functional" shape. You could use this workout as a basis for designing your own weekly workouts, or as a periodic test of your overall conditioning. There are no gimmicks and minimal equipment, and he carefully demonstrates and explains how to do each exercise as he is performing the entire 300 reps.

I think, before we write a review, we have to know for what audience the product is intended. The spartan workout 300 is definitely not for MMA fighters or anyone with high fitness level. Probably also tha name is incorrect marketing gimmick.
The workout itself, for a men with low fitness level, who want to improve his strength,stamina and flexibility(not the main focus) in home environment(without expensive equipment, mostly bodyweight) is one of the best. Common bodyweight exercises, not Pilates or Yoga if someone expect that. My friend asked me to make excercises program for him. I had not time to measure his strength level, calculate the weight for exercises, etc and gave him this DVD. Explanations are detailed,easy to understand, Maxwell even says how to breath(what is very important and unfortunately missing from many exercises DVDs) and you can combine exercises from different levels(begins-advanced) to make your own workout if some parts of your body is stronger. My friend is excited with the result/time what this workout gave him, and I think the same. Conclusion: for the office worker, without time for personal trainer and going to gym, this is very good do it yourself workout. Also true, the price is higher than it should be, but workout realy make you better.

dont believe the hate!!,

This review is from: 300 Spartan Workout DVD- The Original Workout to Achieve the 300 Movie Body! (DVD)
I just got the DVD delivered and it was fast!! Ordered it one week, got it the following week, way before estimated delivery time.
Now, Ive read all the reviews about this product and Its looks like an effective routine to alternate with anyones weight training rouitne. If your envious of Brad Pitts Fight Club, like me, then this and your body sculpting weights will do the trick. FORGET ABOUT THE ACTUAL 300 WORKOUT THE ACTORS DID, this is good, plus, they did that routine as a one-off test, not as a regualr workout. You can easily search the web for what they had to do to get prepared for the final 300 test and this is a very descent alternative, without weights, as it makes you use almost all the same motors as the actors had too. He even does the workout himself as demo for 40 minutes and hes raw with it. Make the investment, forget the haters.
