It
has become very common for everyone from the Average Joe to Bodybuilders to do low intensity cardio or even to run to burn extra calories and lose weight. This can cause joint and muscle injuries from the repetitive movement and mass amounts of time spent performing the activity. The solution to this problem is another effective method of cardiovascular conditioning – Sprint Training.
Sprint training provides explosive power coupled with excellent conditioning. This type of training can be utilized to optimize performance in a variety of sports including football, track and field and MMA. It is also a superior way to burn extra calories and improve athletic performance simultaneously.
Find a local track, football field or any open area that allows you to sprint at 100% intensity for about 100 yards. Complete 10-15 sprints resting no more than 30-45 seconds in between sets and reap the rewards of full on sprint training. For a more advanced variation of this training method, attach yourself to a weighted sled for shorter distances of about 30-40 yards.
