sprinting to victory

So we continue on the road to recovery from the flab attack. Sometimes neither easy nor fun, the results are worth the exertion and the changes in the diet. But working out can be tedious, which, on top of being a less than inspiring use of your time, really makes you concept of weight loss top-heavy and laborious.

So this week lets get outside and do something about that boredom. Let’s go for a jog! Except, we’re going to step up the pace quite a bit and do sprints instead. While running and jogging are fabulous activities for cardiovascular endurance and weight loss, the sprint has benefits beyond the leisurely jog in the park. Sprints intervals within jogging sessions, however, do aid further in weight loss. Sprinting requires more power, and therefore demands more calories to be burned for energy, from the lower body and abs. It also feels amazing to run with everything you have, to test your lungs, heart and explosive force.
