Sprint Intervals.... FAST is FIT

If you want to burn the most calories per minute possible, sprinting is at the top of the list!  Of course you can't just sprint for your entire 30 minute or hour workout, but you can do INTERVALS! 

Sprinters are some of the leanest athletes out there because they do sprint intervals (i.e. this is how they train).  Of course to get the muscularity they have, they are combining their running workouts with some serious weight training. 

ALSO.... if you play any sports and don't want to lose your competitive edge, sprint intervals are a great training tool. 

I try to do some type of sprint intervals as a part of my weekly training.  This is the running section of my workout today.  Good Luck!!!

Let's TORCH some Calories

• 7 miles total: 
• 1 mile warmup
• 6 x 200 yard sprints (on a treadmill I run .15 of a mile to represent a 200 yard run, because it takes some time for the treadmill to speed up
• 4 x 400 yard sprints (about .25 of a mile)
• 2 x 800 yard sprints (about .5 of a mile)

• For the recovery jogs in between each sprint, complete the same distance that you just sprinted. For example, after a 200 yard sprint (.15 of a mile), jog- or walk if you need to- for 200 yards (.15) before you sprint the next 200 yards.
• Jog or walk for the remaining .2 of a mile left at the end of the workout as your cool down, to complete a total of 7 miles.
