Broken leg workout #4

Today for something different I created a 300 style workout as I have missed doing the regular 300 workout. I haven't done one since last year so I haven't blogged about it yet. Basically it is a 1 round circuit that contains 300 reps (25+50+50+50+50+50+25) that are performed with 6 exercises. There are no designated rests, you just rest as necessary (ideally not at all). Here is a site that explains it a little more. My best time for a normal 300 workout is 28.5 mins. 
By then end of my modified 300 workout (21.5 mins) my average HR was 116, max HR was 150 and calorie expenditure was 164. Not as intense as workout #3 but a lot more crutching!
Here it is:

300 workout modified for a broken leg
  • Wide grip pullups x 25
  • Pushups x 50 (I worked out how to do full pushups without hurting my leg)
  • Toe touchers x 50
  • Walk down and up stairs (on crutches) x10 (I figured this was about 100 reps worth)
  • Back extensions x 50
  • Wide grip pullups x 25
This was no where near as intense as the normal 300 workout. The only 2 original exercises are pullups and pushups. The toe touchers were similar to floor wipers. The stair crutching was good. That took about 5 minutes and my heart rate was about 148 the whole time. I may do a cardio routine on the stairs in the future.
So you can compare, here is the original 300 workout:
  • Pullups - 25 reps
  • Deadlifts with 135 lbs - 50 reps
  • Pushups - 50 reps
  • 24-inch box jumps - 50 reps
  • Floor wipers - 50 reps
  • Single-arm Clean-and-Press with 36 lbs Kettlebell - 50 reps
  • Pullups - 25 reps
