Men's Health expert fitness trainer Craig Ballantyne believes that men and women can benefit from modified 300-style workouts. While he has demonstrated the entire 300 workout routine on MensHealth.com, he knows that not every man and woman will be able to complete such a rigorous workout.
Watch Craig Ballantyne perform the exercises from the full 300 workout:

This type of workout will boost their metabolism and sculpt their body much better than slow, boring cardio workouts," Ballantyne says.

a) Pullups - 25 reps
b) Deadlifts with 135lbs - 50 reps

d) 24-inch Box jumps - 50 reps
e) Floor wipers - 50 reps

"All exercises are done without scheduled rest between moves. Obviously this is an advanced workout...you shouldn't do it unless you are already in great shape," Ballantyne advises.
"Fortunately, this can all easily be adapted. Appropriate exercises can be subbed in: Drop down to 150 total reps, or 4-6 exercises of 15-25 reps each. For example, you might try this workout, great for a guy with moderate fitness," Ballantyne suggests.
