I was reading about a workout called the spartacus workout on the Men's Health website. I was wondering if anyone had tried it, and if it really works. My hubby is thinking about working out w/me and this seems like it would be his kind of thing. Just wondering if it's worth the time, or if it's just a fancy name
Here's the link if anyone wants to check it out. Thanks!

what is you're husbands goal?
It's pretty much a HIIT routine.
WIll help with overall fitness & creating a cal deficit. Not an optimum way to build strength but if he is a beginner then it would probably be sufficient.0 -

He's wanting to lose some weight and gain back some muscle. He's not working construstion anymore and the results of sitting at a desk are starting to frustrate himHe's basically a beginner, since he hasn't worked out in a loooong time.

HIIT is tough exercise so I probably wouldn't jump straight into it.
I'd start with watching the nutrition (can't out exercise a bad diet).
Do some light cardio to get some activity.
Start a basic strength program like starting strength or stronglifts.
If he wants to, do some HIIT stuff at the end of a strength session for some extra cals burnt.0 -
Looks like an easy version of BodyRock.TV back when Zuzka was the host. I say go for it, just make sure you use proper form!0
