  1. I tried the Spartan 300 workout. WOW - amazing amazing. I felt it in every muscle in my body (in a good way). I was not able to do all 300 reps without pause. I completed all 300 but when I started losing form, I would pause and then hit through rest of them. Some moves I had to take multiple pauses. Great workout !!!! Look forward to adding to my routine once a week.
