Studies show that sprinting burns fat 9 times faster than slower cardio. This can and should be done in intervals (a sprint followed by a walk or jog). Sprinting also raises your metabolism, which allows you to also burn fat when your body is at rest.
Aerobic Endurance
Although sprinting is an anaerobic activity, it can also be
effective at improving aerobic activity. As you improve, you will be able to
work at a higher intensity for a longer amount of time. This means more
calories burned!
Athletic Performance
Athletes who sprint will see an increase in speed,
endurance, agility and overall strength!
Sprints don’t require any equipment and can be done
anywhere. So there shouldn’t be any excuses J.
Here are a few sprint workouts:
1)
100 meter sprints
10 x with 30 rest between
2)
200 meter sprints
5 x with 45 sec rest between
3)
400 meter sprints
3 x with 1:30 min rest between
4)
30 sec sprint followed by 30 sec walk repeat for
20 min
