Running Sprints

Also known as Wind Sprints

What It Is

Short, all-out bursts on foot that build speed and power and push your heart rate higher than steady effort can.

How to Do It

Warm up with a few minutes of easy jogging. Run as hard as you can for the time given, driving your arms. Walk until your breathing settles before the next one.

Tips

Pump your arms from cheek to hip. Stay tall and land under your hips, not out in front.

Skill Level

Advanced. Heavy barbell lifts, Olympic-lift variations or all-out sprints. They take precise technique under load.

Type

Cardio. Raises your heart rate to build endurance and heart health.

Engagement
