Warmth is in the air and it's getting nicer out by the day. Been in the 70's and 80's here the last few days and it feels like summer. Feeling incredible at 100% again, I started changing up my training to doing Sprints. Have only done 3 sessions so far starting back on Thor's Day. Sprinted on a hill about a 10-12 min walk from my house and ran 4 10 Second Sprints.
Hill Sprinting was a favorite of mine back when I was living in Santa Cruz, CA and off and on for the last 10 years up here I would do them (been about 3 years or so since I've done them). I figured since I might want to drop a bit more weight and get rid of some body fat, nothing will do that better than Sprints. I love to train and do things that some of the greatest legendary sports heroes have done. Walter Payton is definitely at the top of the list as one of the greatest hill sprinters ever.
The training is so damn simple and nothing beats simplistic training. Want to be explosive, sprint; want greater speed and burn fat like like a furnace? You Sprint. If you can't sprint, do something that you can give your all fast for 8-30 seconds. Go hard and slack off for 2-3 minutes than you repeat it a few times, how awesome is that?
What if it was so simple to burn unwanted fat in such a short amount of time that the fat is melting like the Wicked Witch Of The West right before your eyes. Be able to crank up your metabolism and burn calories during and long after a workout. Not only that but you don't need to do it more than 3 times a week. Start out by getting a feel for sprinting, you don't need to go 100% full speed, just enough to get out of breath. Just doing a few of them is more than enough for most people and the most you'll ever really need to do is about 10 bursts if that. Build up and little by little add time to your sprints and max out at 30 seconds because let's face it, even the greatest sprinters on the planet wouldn't last more than 30 seconds without slowly down at their highest peak of speed.
Be smart about your training and get that beach body ready. Eat good and drink plenty of water.
