Actually, that workout alone isn't designed to repeated over and over. The cast of 300 did that workout only a couple of times (maybe only once). The basis of that workout and the workout that the cast of 300 used is the exercise philosophy(?) called Crossfit. The idea behind crossfit is to engage in a wide variety of workouts. You're supposed to do different stuff every day. You can learn about it more
here. I've had a positive personal experience with that work out and it's done wonders for my cardiovascular fitness (basically you do a shit load of different exercises, lifts, etc. in a short amount of time). Every single work out (except for the strength conditioning only days) has brought me to the point of vomiting, lol.
EDIT: Another advantage of crossfit is that it is scalable which means that the intensity of the workouts can be brought down to a level where beginners and the severely out of shape (such as myself when I started) can complete the workouts and not injure/kill themselves in the process.
You can start the program based on what is available on crossfit.com. However, if you can afford it, I'd recommend starting out an local crossfit affiliate (you can look one up on crossfit.com). A lot of the exercises (such as the squat, power clean, etc.) can injure you if you do not know how to do the proper form for them.
