The 300 Workout Using Tabata Intervals

Sunday, October 18th, 2009
For those of you who don’t know, The 300 Workout was the rage several years ago when The 300 movie first came out and everybody was shocked with how ripped and chiseled all of the Spartans were from their intense training.
Well, the other day I received an enthusiastic email from one of our valued Workout Muse customers, John Thompson.
He sent me a video with a way to modify the original 300 workout (which was rep-based) into an interval training format using Ultimate Tabatas interval workout music.
I must say- his concept was genius and the video workout of him actually doing the 300 interval workout was even better, see below:
Hey BJ-

I turned the 300 workout into a Ultimate Tabatas fat annihilation workout:

1-Pullups
2-Deadlifts with 135lbs
3-Push-ups
4-Box Jump
5-Floor Wipers
6-Kettlebell Clean and Press 35lb Left
7-Kettlebell Clean and Press 35lb Right
8-Pullups

THE 300 INTERVAL WORKOUT POWERED BY ULTIMATE TABATAS

What I love most about this 300 INTERVAL WORKOUT is that it doesn’t require you to count reps like the original plan did.

Personally, I hate rep counting… I counted reps the first 20 years of my life and it’s just so annoying and I feel like it prevents me from going to that happy place where I can push myself to the break point where I force my body to change. It’s just so distracting! (more…)

The State of Health in America Today

header

By Greg Justice of Corporate Bootcamp System

“I’m too busy; I don’t have time to workout.”

“There’s no equipment where I’m staying.”

“If I can’t workout for an hour, why bother.”

Those are just a few of the excuses, for not working out, that I hear on a regular basis.  My reply…Excuses Suck!

And, they get you nowhere, except fat, lazy and dead too soon.

Here’s the Plain and Simple Truth

70% of those who died today…

…died of a preventable illness

Regular exercise and proper nutrition could have made all the difference.  That’s right, simple lifestyle choices can be the difference between life and death.

Here’s another workout from my “Workout Where You Are” series.  I grabbed a couple of rocks for my hands and used an old tire swing on the property for an 20-10 superset of tire suspended spiderman push-ups and mountain climbers, done to Ultimate Tabatas powered by Workout Muse interval workout music:

Resistance Band Interval Training Music Workout

Resistance Band Interval Training Music Workout

main

You know one of the easiest ways to set up a boot camp interval workout to music is by using Alternate Resistance Band Partner training in conjunction with interval training music.  The set up takes seconds and the interval workout music literally takes the campers through the workout while creating incredible workout energy.

Here is how you do it:

Choose 2 exercises that work opposite movements (Vertical push and Vertical pull or alternating sides using a unilateral exercise like lunges) and  than put your camp into teams of 2 or 4 people.

Split the group in half and instruct half the group to do one exercise while the other half does the other exercise.  The interval workout music will tell them when to switch.  Literally I instruct my campers on what they need in resistance bands, demo the exercise and click on the Workout Muse workout music.

Examples of some great resistance band alternate partner workouts.

1.    High Pull – Front Squat
2.    Push Press – Hammer Curl
3.    Split squat right – Split squat left

All of these workouts use attachment free resistance band set ups so all you need is space, a single resistance band per person, and some motivated campers to get after it.

Take a look at a recent camp I did using alternate partner training in conjunction with workout muse 20-10 Tabatas.

Free Tabata Intervals Workout Music Tribute to Michael Jackson

Monday, July 6th, 2009

It’s been about a week and a half since the tragic passing of pop music icon Michael Jackson.

Yet in the wake of his recent passing, his music is now just as, if not more, popular than ever.

Yep, sometimes you just don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone.

Over here at Workout Muse, immediately upon hearing of Michael’s untimely death, Topher and I got on the phone about doing a special Workout Muse MJ tribute soundtrack.

Now- it wasn’t easy to replicate the sound and music of the world’s greatest entertainer of all time.

Especially considering that what made Michael Jackson’s songs so good were… well… Michael Jackson and his unmatched artisty and style.

If you listened to the instrumentals of many of Michael’s songs, as a standalone the music really wasn’t all that hot to be honest about it.

But as soon as MJ started “sanging” it was game over, from the “he he’s” to the “jam ons” Michael made each song soar.

Topher has put together a really cool FREE 4-Minute 20-10 Tabatas download inspired by the music of Michael Jackson.

The focus of the soundtrack was to really go back to Michael’s Motown days where it all started, so the track features a lot of funk and has a really nice disco feel to it as well.

And though the track isn’t a head banger like most of the Workout Muse soundtracks, it’s incredibly well done and a great change of pace to your typical hard core workout music.

I have used it for both my own personal workouts and with my boot campers and it officially gets my full stamp of approval for a kick ass workout track!

Michael Jackson Interval Workout Music Tribute from Workout Muse- 20-10 Tabatas

Please share this blog post and this download with all of your friends and family- especially all the MJ fans you know out there.

In addition, please be sure to post a comment to this blog to let us know what you think and if you would be interested in us making some more MJ workout muse soundtracks in the future. They certainly won’t be free like this one, but we aim to please and we’ll make whatever soundtracks our beloved audience responds to best.

In addition, it isn’t practical nor cost effective to try to gain reproduction rights for Michael’s music. That’s why we’re built a track inspired by Michael Jackson as an alternative and a special gift to you… ENJOY!
