Lose Belly Fat 500 Rep Challenge

I did this workout with Becky, it was a challenge hence the name but she managed to do it in 21 minutes and 31 seconds – awesome!! Since then I’ve decided to make it a bit of a competition and challenge a few more to have a go at this workout and the results are pretty good!!

So the workout is as follows…

1. Squats x 50

6. DB Row x 50
7. Mountain Climbers x 50
8. Lying Leg Curls x 50
9. Dips x 50
10. Jump Squats x 50




Perform the recommended reps for each exercise in order until you complete a total of 500 reps.

If you need a rest take it, you might have to split the 50 reps into smaller groups if you can’t manage them all in one go.

Try to finish the whole workout routine as fast as you can with good form.

Make sure that you time yourself.

Here is your ranking:

16-20 minutes: Amazing. Your are Tough Enough
21-30 Minutes: You are in great shape.
31-40 Minutes: You are just average.
41-50 Minutes: You should work out more.


If you havn’t got any dumbbells then try the bodyweight version below!!It might actually be harder!!

Then had the Gym Staff and Members BBQ on the Thursday night, it was nice to see all my Personal Training Members watching their alcohol intake ;) ha apart from a few who were determined to try and get me drunk – you know who you are!
