The Bodyweight 500 Workout

Ok, so we went through the Bodyweight 500 today (that's part of the October Workout of the Month). It was tough, and longer than the 300 Workout featured in Men's Health magazine, but to be fair, it doesn't have the same all-out maximum intensity as the 300 workout. That's because I stuck with bodyweight endurance exercises, and so that more people could do it.

Still, it lasted 27 minutes for me, and so it will challenge most fitness levels. There are quite a few chins, pullups, and bodyweight rows as well.

And as a reminder, the entire 4 week program builds up to the bodyweight 500. Each week you do a bodyweight workout and if you pass, you move onto the next week's challenge.

So this will really suit those of you with a competitive mindset, and those of you who stick to programs with a lot of variety and ever changing challenges.

It will be out in a couple of weeks.

I finished up with Jay Ferruggia's Maximum Mass, workout 2 of phase 3,
