Spartan 500 times/results and video

So I did the Spartan 500 once a week for three weeks to set a time and see if I could improve each week.

First week - 18 minutes 30 seconds
Second week - 16 minutes 59 seconds - beat the sub 17 minute goal that week!
Third week - 15 minutes 52 seconds - beat the sub 16 minute goal for the final week!

From 1st to 3rd week a nice 2 minutes 38 seconds cut out of 500 reps of exercise.

If you want to try this check out the little video to see the exercises and the order. See what time you set and then aim to beat it. Don't forget to warm up and cool down.

Spartan 500 Challenge

So today was the day to try the Spartan 500 challenge. Unlike the spartan 1000 this is done in a circuit style so that instantly makes it easier.

10 sets of 10 reps for 5 exercises = 500

Burpees
Squat jacks
Mountain climber
Agility dots
Jumping squats

So what you need:- yourself, water, towel and stopwatch.

I did the first 3 rounds in 3 minutes, great start but a little too fast! My final time was 18 minutes 30 seconds.

Time for you to give it a try!!

After a little walk to get the lactic acid away the rower looked like a good seat!
