Spartan 300 Abs Workout

Have you seen the 300 movie that came out a some years ago with the ripped body Spartans?

It’s a CLASSIC movie and it has to rank in my top 10 films of all time.

But the most impressive thing about the film 300 is the ripped bodies that the actors have.

I’m going to show you a Spartan inspired 300 abs workout that will get you the 6 pack abs or flat stomach along with an awesome nutrition program.

These guys trained religiously for months using a lot of extreme training techniques and they totally transformed their bodies.

You can bet your ascot that these Spartan actors weren’t doing hanging out on an elliptical and watching Oprah while they trained.

The key with their hardcore training for the film 300 was super high intensity and having literally no rest in between sets.

They did total body functional exercises that burn more fat and build more muscle than doing your typically old school machines.

So it’s going to be 300 total reps without any rest whatsoever for 10 different abs exercises.

Can you handle it?

This Spartan abs workout is for the weak and the whining, but reap the rewards if you can handle the heat.

Even though this Spartan Abs Workout targets your abdominals it’s still going to give you a decent full body workout, but for a complete total body workout see the ones in the above links. I usually do this workout only once or twice a week along with other Metabolic Resistance Training and HIIT workouts.

This workout will help develop the muscles in your abs but it won’t do much for burning the fat off your belly. For that I would look into my Flat Belly Formula nutrition system for burning massive amounts of fat rapidly.

A complete fat burning nutrition system like that combined with these workouts will have you seeing your abs develop in no time flat. Sparta!
