300 Challenge – A Week in Review

So my week long 300 Challenge has come to an end. The challenge was to do the 300 workout every day for one week. Here are the day’s results:

Looking back on the week that was, this is what I learned, in no particular order:

Going hard every day causes you to adapt quicker that I thought possible;
By working out regularly, you can overcome DOMS;
Being sore shouldn’t be a reason not to train or to train light;
A training schedule that seems impossible can become possible just by going hard at it and sticking to it;
An alternative to the 30, 60 or 90 day plans is the 7 day plan, just to get you moving;
If you are struggling to make gains, take one week to do something you think you can’t and just go for it. You might surprise yourself;
You can increase strength significantly in only one week;
The 300 challenge is great for boosting your metabolism;
Doing a workout outside is a great way to add some variety to your training schedule;
As a whole body workout, the 300 challenge is a fantastic way to figure out which body parts are lagging and need to be focused on;
No matter how hard you think you are training, you always have that little extra to give; and
Before training, setting your mind to really push yourself on your most difficult exercise is a great way to perform well at that exercise without compromising your performance on the others.

I highly recommend you take on the 300 challenge for yourself. I was fitter and stronger after completing it. Maybe you could be too. Don’t let the intensity scare you off. Just do it
