Running isn’t the only exercise you’re supposed to do if you’re preparing your body for a quick sprint and you’re low on time. You can try out these serious sprint workouts which boost your strengths, burn calories and increase your cardio fitness!
The #1 is super quick repeat training. For this you need to do as much as possible to your body, do a super hard workout session and push yourself to a limit for a short time. Then skip. Take a break and do it all over again. That’s why it’s known as repeat. You need to test your body to that point, leave a day and do it all over again. For example, run 10 x 200m intervals within 35-40 seconds according to fitness level and with 2 minutes short breaks. Next day, lower the distance and do 5 instead of 10.
Secondly, running downhill may sound like a piece of cake but it’s the best way to build a muscle. It increases your muscle and helps you run faster. Your fiber muscles lengthen as you have to work on maintaining and staying under control so you don’t flip and break your neck.
As easy as downhill sprints are, uphill sprints are all about losing weight and building on your stamina as it requires you to run upwards. It trains you for heavier load, but it’s an everyday workout and requires you to move up the hill after a sprint and start the next soon. Begin with a simple warm up exercise and then sprint up the hill and walk back down to recover. That makes one round. Start with 5 rounds and keep on increasing depending upon how well you’re adapting to it.
