Very little is known about the training of the ancient Spartans. Luckily for us, I literally wrote the book researching their methods.
Here are two exercises and one supplement that they used, ALL of which YOU can use today to feed the inner Spartan.
And be sure to check out my book if you want to see the most detailed breakdown of Spartan physical training in the world.
1. Weighted running. The Spartans DOMINATED an ancient Olympic event called the ‘Hoplitodromos’, a 400-800 meter sprint wearing full armor. They could also ruck for days without stopping.
2. Calisthenics. Simple bodyweight exercises like pushups and pull ups built strength, endurance and mobility, along with carrying logs and stones.
4. Greek mountain tea, known today as ‘iron wort’, was a staple of Spartan nutrition. They believed it decreased inflammation, increased immune activity and promoted recovery. And today it’s readily available, even on Amazon.
This information comes from my book on the evolution of physical training, which includes the most detailed breakdown of spartan fitness practices in the world.
