Sprints
January 11, 2010 by Joe Gigantino
Today’s interval workout will focus on power and endurance. This sprint workout routine involves high intensity sprints and lower intensity rest periods. Interval training helps you burn more calories and build endurance quickly. The intensity sprints are great for getting your heart rate up, boost the metabolism to burn fat and good for overall heart health.
SPRINTS:
1 = 200 meter sprint / rest 2 minutes
2 = 200 meter running backwards / rest 2 minutes
3 = 200 meter side shuffle (right side) / rest 2 minutes
4 = 200 meter side shuffle (left side) / rest 2 minutes
5 = 200 meter sprint / rest 2 minutes
6 = repeat! Try to do a total of 3 rounds. Post your time and how many rounds you competed. Good luck!
This workout will be a bit longer than most and running is sometimes not that enjoyable. Push through it and you will feel a sense of accomplishment when finished.
