Sprinting is Great! Sprinting Up Hill is GREATER!

Does Working the Hill Pay Off?

To answer the above question….Well, If your looking to get your body-fat percentage down and into your peak shape, then the answer is YES!

Sprinting is considered by many as the ultimate exercise. It not only increases athleticism by building fast twitch muscle fiber, sprinting burns fat. Performing sprints a few times a week can replace long cardiovascular workouts on treadmills or ellipticals. Sprinting in general is far more effective and efficient for burning calories, burning fat than low intensity exercise…and not only that, but you can enjoy much shorter workout sessions! Just remember…The key to getting the most out of your sprinting sessions is to perform them at 100 percent intensity! 

When compared to low intensity exercise, sprinting and other high intensity training burns far more fat and calories. A 20-minute workout session doing high-intensity sprints is roughly comparable to an hour-long cardio workout at a lower intensity.

The only thing more effective than sprints?

To take it to the next level, you don’t have to go further then your local Hills (Malden, Suicide, Puce). To get the very most out of your sprinting sessions find a hill to sprint up. The only thing more effective for fat loss than sprinting is sprinting uphill. So next time its time to hit the hill, think results, think efficiency, and most important…give 100 percent!
