crazy_sprinter11If you have been following me for some time now, you know that I preach the importance of quality over quantity when it comes to choosing exercises. There is nothing I hate more than wasting time, which most of us don’t have enough of, on exercises that will not get us to our desired goals in the fastest way possible.

I believe that one of the best quality exercises for conditioning and fat loss are SPRINTS. All types of sprints from hill sprints, to stair sprints, to flat ground sprints, to prowler sprints, to sled pull sprints. Like I have said before, just look how Olympic sprinters are built compared to a distance runner. The majority of  sprinters are ripped and muscular. One of the reasons why is that these quick short bursts of all out power stimulate more muscle fiber throughout your entire body, which in turn increases the release of the muscle building hormone, testosterone.

Now I am not knocking on slow steady state cardio and distance running because they all have there place but if you are looking for the fastest way to increase fat loss and build muscle then sprinting will get you there faster.

Check out this video of a sprint challenge I did with a buddy of mine. Hmm I wonder who the winner was?

Yeah I know I need to stop beating up on the kids, Haha!

So if you are not already doing it then start including some sprinting in with your workouts. It will save you valuable time and get you to your strength goals faster. And make a challenge out of it like we did.

Shoot me an email or comment and let me know what you think.

THINK, LOOK and BE STRONG!
