Sprint Your Way to Weight Loss

Ever felt like your not getting the belly fat loss you desire even tho your eating healthy, putting in the hard yards pounding the road and crunching your abs off? Feel like your never going to shed that last couple of inches? Loses inches everywhere other than your love handles? Maybe its time to try something new? Maybe it's time to sprint!!

Long distance running and jogging are great exercises for fitness, increasing stamina and improving health. You will probably even lose some weight... At least at first.. But it's not going to shift that last bit of overhang on your belly. The most effective way to burn body fat through running is by running sprints.

Running Sprints an amazing way to shed body fat quickly. Just sprint as fast as you can for as long as you can. This could be 10, 20 30 seconds depending on your current fitness level. Each sprint will increase your heart rate and metabolism and as a result you will start burning calories and fat. After each sprint you should rest or walk slowly for a minute before sprinting again. Try and start off by doing 10 rounds of sprints and increase by 2 each week.

As you get stronger and fitter you will be able to increase the length of the sprints and shorten your rest periods. You may also want to incorporate sprints into your runs or jogs. I like to run at a gentle speed for 5 minutes before trying any sprints to ensure that my body is all warmed up. Then... sprint away followed by a minute walk followed by another sprint, rest and return to a normal running pace.

This is a great way to smash body fat and also makes your runs a lot more intense, fun and varied. So go give it a try, you wont be disappointed. Oh and don't forget to warm up/warm down.
