Push yourself without a gym!

The Spartan Run

A popular workout with special forces and military units overseas, The Spartan Run, represents a challenge that can be a fun and competitive way to workout.

The original:

• Run one mile


• 100 push-up, 100 sit-ups in as few sets as possible


• run one mile


• 75 push-ups, 75 sit-ups in as few sets as possible


• run one mile


• 50 push-ups, 50 sit-ups in a few sets as possible

Completed for time (equals 3 mile run, 225 push-ups and sit-ups)

It can be modified in almost any way, here is one of mine:

• run 2 laps


• 75 push-ups, 75 sit-ups


• run 2 laps


• 50 push-ups, 50 sit-ups


• run 2 laps


• 50 squats with olympic bar, 50 deadlifts with olympic bar

Completed for time (equals 1.5 mile run, 120 push-ups and sit-ups, 50 squats and deadlifts)

Have fun and push yourself.
