Back in January, I was away for the weekend and trying to get in a quick workout at the hotel room before my next meeting.

I didn’t have equipment and the hotel gym was a joke.

So my options were no workout or hotel workout. And I think you know what I chose 🙂

So there I was scheming in my mind a workout that was going to get my muscles pumping and kill the cardio.

I decided I was going to model a workout I had seen some weeks before, yet I was going to make mine BETTER ????

I wrote down the exercises, slipped on my shoes, and hit the floor. I was off…

After 25 reps on the first exercise, I was already sweating… With still 25 more to go… More sweat and heavy breathing and boom I was past the first hurdle… On to the next…

I checked my paper… “Wowza, seriously Dennis… What were you thinking?”

Sweat dripping a little faster, I was past part two. By part three and into four, I was pouring sweat.

It may have been the temperature in the room, but whatever the case, this workout was getting to me. 

After I finished all 555 reps, I had no choice but to lay on the floor to recover and follow that up with an ice-cold shower before my next meeting.

So what was this workout? What is the 555 Workout I am referring to? Well, if you dare, continue reading…
