Sprinting – doesn’t HAVE to mean running!
We mention sprinting in our workouts quite a bit, and most people will immediately associate it with running. Running is a wonderful and effective way to incorporate sprinting, but did you know that there are also lots of other options when it comes to sprinting?!
Weather, injury, or simply preference are all reasons we hear that people decide not to including running and sprinting into their workouts. And that’s totally fine!
We want to give you lots of sprinting options so you can find what works best for you and your body.
Why do we even recommend sprinting?
We have found high intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts to be the most effective approach to workouts in order to help get the results you want. These results translate into decreasing body fat while building muscle…
Sprinting follows this HIIT approach….SHORT sprints at a HIGH intensity, resting, and then repeating!
And the best part is that they don’t have to be long in order to be effective. Sprints are an AWESOME addition to any workout routine…
So, let’s talk about your sprinting options so you can choose which one works best for you!
- Outdoor Sprints: Sprint 40-60 yards, rest 30 seconds and repeat about 6-8 times.
- Jump Rope: perform 30-40 seconds, then rest 30 seconds and repeat for 8-10 minutes.
- Burpees: perform 30-seconds, then rest for 30 seconds and repeat for 4-8 minutes.
- Mountain Climbers: perform 20-30 seconds, then rest 30 seconds and repeat for 10 minutes.
- Indoor Cardio Machines (Bike or Rower): perform 30-seconds, then rest 30 seconds and repeat for 10 minutes.
