When was the last time you ran all out as fast as you could? It's good for you for a number of reasons and you should try it once in a while....challenge yourself.
The definition of sprinting is to move rapidly at a top speed for a brief period, as in running or swimming.*
There's no specified amount of time you need to run, it depends on the individual. You should do it only when your warmed up and stretched out -make it the way you end your workout. Why might you want to try it?
- burns calories and speeds up metabolism
- increases bone strength & density
- great cardio
- builds muscle
- burns fat quicker
- increases your endurance
- improves insulin health
- better lung function
It's not going to be easy and it does not feel good while your doing it, but after all the huffing and puffing you will feel the difference. Pick a distance to accomplish and try increasing it every time. Pushing yourself helps build confidence in all aspects of your life. So run like the dickens, use your legs, raise your heart rate in a good way, and flush out those lungs.
