Are you really ready to lose those unwanted pounds? Then Start SPRINTING!
Let me start this article by asking you a question that I ask my clients all the time: Why do people who are trying to lose weight spend endless hours on the elliptical machine, stairclimber, or stationary bike? The answer: because they were told that this kind of exercise is what works.
Have you been performing mediocre, slow fat-burning, hours-of-exercise cardio to burn fat? Then listen up! Have you been performing this type of cardio for a while now and are just not seeing the results that you desire? Then don't do what most people do. They increase their workouts, perform longer sessions on the elliptical, or add another mile to that slow jog. Instead... STOP! I want to introduce you to a way to not only lose those extra unwanted pounds, but to also build strength and help you maximize your time.
With the Beijing Olympics in full swing I want you to do me a favor...watch a track meet and ask yourself this question: who would I rather my body resemble - the sprinter or the distance runner? I will answer the question for you: the sprinter of course! The sprinter's physique is great! Look at it - LEAN, MUSCULAR, SEXY Did you know that sprinting not only will give you a great looking body but can also help you shed those unwanted, stubborn pounds?
Those long-distance joggers and cyclists look very lean, which can be very deceiving. That lean look is simply because they have very little muscle mass, and surprisingly, their body fat percentage can actually be fairly high. Too much of that drawn-out cardio can actually make you gain fat and waste away muscle. Excessive cardio increases stress hormones in your body, which causes muscle-preserving hormones, such as testosterone and growth hormone, to down regulate. In addition, elevated levels of stress hormones make your body insulin-resistant, which leads to overeating. This can also lead to eating foods, such as sugars and starches, that contribute to insulin resistance.
The 3 Main Reasons You Should Sprint:
1.) Sprint to Build Strength: While sprinting, you will work every muscle in your body. When you sprint, your body must recruit a large number of muscles. These working muscles will build more muscle and you will get stronger with every stride you take. Therefore, sprinting is a great way to develop definition and tone up those targeted areas. If you want defined legs, lean hips, and a firm butt, start sprinting!
2.) Sprint to Speed up Your Metabolism: Sprinting will burn a ton of calories and speed up your metabolism at the same time. Sprinting will increase your body's ability to increase HGH, which is the body's natural fat-burning hormone. Research shows that high-intensity exercise, like sprinting, can keep your metabolism revved up for days. Everyone knows that when you exercise you burn calories, but most people do not know that the higher the intensity you work at, the more calories you will burn post exercise. You may still burn calories hours, even days, after training. Also, don't forget your heart, the most important muscle in your body. The cardiovascular benefits you receive from sprinting are tremendous.
3.) Sprint to Have Fun and Maximize Your Time: Who has fun performing boring long stretches of slow cardio on a machine? Who has the time to drive to a gym, check in, change clothes, ride the elliptical for 45 minutes, and drive home? I don't know about you, but I have better things to do with my time, like spending time with family, making money, etc...You can be very creative when putting together a sprinting routine so that you enjoy doing it. As far as for the time it takes...let's just say you will never feel guilty about wasting time exercising again. Think about when you were a kid, how many times did you go out and jog several slow miles? Never, except if they made you in PE class. You would sprint - almost every day! You would sprint on the playground, you would sprint on the basketball court, you would sprint to your friend's house down the street, and you would sprint home at dinner time. WHY? Because sprinting is natural and it is a very valuable human nature to possess. Question: So why don't we sprint any more?
Answer: Because as a society we have become lazy! Change that today......Start Sprinting!
Before You Go Out and Sprint.....
- Always start your workouts by performing a proper warm-up. - Sprint workouts feature short, high-intensive bursts along with proper recovery. - Sprint means "to race or move at full speed." - Each sprint should last for at least 8 seconds.
- Start by performing 5-10 repetitions with the total distance of your sprints not to exceed 400-800 yards/meters. These sprints should be broken down into 50-100m each set. - For your recovery time in between sprints, you should walk double the distance of what you just ran. - You need to recover so that each set can be run at full speed, or close to it. - Intensity is the objective, not volume. - Beginners can start by doing build-ups from 50% to 80% until your body is prepared to sprint full speed. -Work your way up to doing progressively more sprints each session. - Always sprint on a flat, clean, soft surface like a track or the grass. It is not a good idea to sprint on concrete. - Sprint workouts should be performed 2-3 times a week.
Start to maximize your time! Workout less and lose more body fat faster by working out smart. Start incorporating sprints into your exercise routine today!
