new 300-Rep Spartan KB Challenge (workout inside)


You might’ve heard me mention that our “Spartan Sprint” 28 Day Drop-a-Size Challenge is about to kick off!

Sign ups are coming through, we’re getting everything dialed in, and I thought I’d do something helpful before we get things going…

I want to share a sample workout so you can see exactly what this training style looks like.

Check out the full program here –> “Spartan Sprint” 28 Day Drop-a-Size Challenge

You see, years ago, a group of athletes underwent rigorous training to prepare for physically demanding roles in a war movie. The goal was simple: build a lean, athletic, battle-ready physique using short, fast-paced conditioning sessions that demanded focus, effort, and grit.

This 15-minute Spartan Sprint workout borrows that same concept—using kettlebells, short sessions, and high output—to help you:

• Improve performance
• Get leaner and stronger
• Drop up to one clothes size in 28 days

Here’s a sample workout in the exact style we’ll use in the program:

In 2005, while playing for the Green Bay Packers, I attended my first yoga class. At the time, I didn’t think much of it. But I did notice that my recovery, flexibility, and athletic performance improved. Then, like many things during that stage of life, it fell off my radar for the next 10–15 years.
