#Sprint Interval Training Benefits

Sprint interval training is a type of exercise that involves short burst of near maximal effort with longer periods of rest in between for example, 30 seconds of max effort with a 2 minute recovery, repeat 8 times. You can achieve short bursts of elevation in heart rate through various forms of movement many of which you can do at home without equipment, near your home if you have access to a hill or with certain types of how exercise equipment. Sprint interval training transiently, elevates testosterone and growth hormone contributing to muscle growth and repair. Sprint interval training also increases circulating levels of BDNF, which is neuroprotective. Additionally, sprint interval training can improve VO2 max. #workout #sprint #hillrepeats #jumprope #fastfeet

Sprint interval training is up to 40% more effective than hiit training or running while using only 60% of the time. Incorporate 10-25 sets of sprints at the end of your gym workout 25 secs on 35 secs rest and watch your body transform. 📍 @wanderlustfitnessvillage_bali 🇮🇩 #onlinecoach #fitnessmotivation #firgirlsinspire #fatlosstips

Why should you do sprint interval training? 🏃🏽‍♀️ Sprinting has been linked to several health benefits such as improved cardiovascular health and mental well-being. The explosiveness of sprints helps build muscles, particularly in the legs, glutes, and core, and improves performance and athleticism. Also sprints are highly time efficient as they involve short moments of very high intensity, which is great for people with a busy schedule who want to stay fit. For me personally, it is a great add-on next to my calisthenics to work my heart and stay athletic. If you are new to sprinting, I advise you to begin with fewer sets and at a slower pace to avoid injuries, as sprinting is exhausting for the body. It can be scary at first and it takes time to build confidence in sprinting but once you are comfortable try to slowly increase the pace or incline! @esncom.nl boostea lemon iced tea to get a quick energy boost before/during my sprint workout 🍋✨code JASMIN

Me forever trying to convince you to shorten your time on the treadmill and just start sprinting! If you follow me you know I’m an Olympic heptathlete and sprinting is the foundation of my training, so if you think I’m a little biased here are some of my favorite reasons to add sprinting into your training💪🏻 #1 I’m big on hormone balance and sprinting helps regulate insulin and cortisol, two of the most impactful hormones for body composition, mood, and energy💪🏻 #2 sprinting will shed body fat without losing muscle. Whereas steady state cardio can burn muscle if overdone and can put your body in a constant state of stress, spiking cortisol, making fat loss harder to achieve. #3 prevention of overuse injuries. Unlike endless cardio, sprinting focuses on power, form, and short bursts, which reduces wear and tear on your joints and knees 🙌🏻 #4 sprinting increases EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption) which means you burn more calories AFTER your workout in comparison to steady state cardio🙌🏻 And finally #5 its over quicker😂 15-20 minutes of intervals and you’re done, I’m all about efficient work! Ps if you can’t run sprinting comes in many forms! Bike, rower, airdyne, swimming etc. If you’re looking for some help and structure, I got you! Check out my program Sprint + Strength and Sprint + Strength 2.0 both designed to help you get leaner and stronger and offered in my app as well as a content library of quick & effective workouts, recipes and mindset exercises all inspired by my career as a professional athlete💪🏻 Comment “dose” and I’ll send it over! #sprint #sprinting #sprinttraining #intervaltraining #intervalrunning #cardio #fatloss

What is SIT training and why should you incorporate it into your exercise routine especially if you’re peri or postmenopausal? One approach that has shown promise in supporting women during perimenopause/post menopause is SIT training, which stands for SPRINT INTERVAL TRAINING. So often we get stuck in a rut of what we “use” to do and get frustrated it’s simply not working. This is because what our body’s needed then is different from what they need now. And once we can get out of our old ways and embrace the natural transition (for most of us) of menopause by adapting new workouts such as SIT training we will start to see and feel the positive changes we are looking for. SIT training helps to mobilize that deep visceral fat we tend to experience. It helps us with blood glucose control, insulin sensitivity, improve cardiovascular function, and works those fast twitch fibers to help drive fat loss. If that wasn’t enough it helps build muscle by counteracting the decline in our estrogen, boost our cognitive function and help ease our menopausal symptoms. I encourage you ALL it incorporate SIT training into your workout programs 2x/week 💪🏼 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #wellnessjourney #healthylivingjourney #bekindtoyourself #resultstaketime #onlinefitnesscoaching #sittraining #fitnesscoachinglife #menopause #perimenopause

What Sprint Training Actually Is If you want to get faster, you need consistent sprints at 100% max effort—as fast as you can go. It sounds like common sense, but common sense isn’t always common practice. Too many athletes think, “I don’t need extra sprints—I had practice.” But most practices don’t push you to the true speeds needed to actually improve. ✅ Do 2 sprint sessions per week: 1 Max Velocity (200m total in 30–60m reps) 1 Acceleration (120m total in 10–20m reps) Want my full speed programs?

I can guarantee that this 20 min treadmill sprint workout will leave ya sweatier & better than before! Save it for your next cardio sesh. 🔥 If I had to choose just ONE exercise to do for the rest of my life, it would be sprints. Sprinting uses dozens of muscles at the same time, making it one of the most complete muscle training exercises available. Here’s the 20 min workout 👇 Warm up - run for 5 mins, starting at a moderate pace. Continue to add some speed until time is up. Remember how far you get. Go straight into the following: Intervals - 10 rounds of :40 sprint followed by :20 rest. I leave the treadmill running & hop to the sides so that I don’t waste time slowing down the tread between sprints. Be careful if you do this!! Go straight into the following: Finisher - run as far as you can for 5 mins. Make sure you more distance than your first 5 min run. This should leave you totally exhausted if you truly push yourself here. Good luck 👊 Want more quick workouts like this?!

When it comes to reducing body fat, interval sprints aren’t the most important factor but they can play a powerful role in improving body composition, especially if your progress has plateaued 😑 The most important factor will always be nutrition. You need to be in a calorie deficit while prioritising high protein, alongside fibre and healthy fats. Without a calorie deficit, no workout alone will significantly reduce body fat. However, if you’re disciplined with your nutrition, combining interval training with resistance training can help you get into incredible shape while dramatically improving your fitness levels 👑 Sprinting pushes your body close to its maximum effort, meaning your muscles demand a large amount of energy in a short period of time. Your heart rate spikes, Your body burns a large number of calories quickly. And a 15–20 minute sprint session can rival or exceed the calorie burn of much longer steady cardio sessions making it a perfect finisher after a 30/40 minute strength workout. Interval sprints also create what’s known as the “afterburn effect”, where your body continues to burn additional calories for hours after the workout as it recovers. If running isn’t for you, you can replicate the same style of workout using: • A bike • Stairmaster • Assault bike • Rowing machine ⬇️ The Workout 1️⃣ Complete a 3km, 4km or 5km run within 20 minutes depending on your fitness level (Rest 2 minutes) 2️⃣ Set the treadmill to 80% of your max speed Run 1 minute on / 30 seconds off × 5 rounds (Rest 2 minutes) 3️⃣ Finish with 30-second sprint / 30-second rest × 5 rounds P.S Please make sure you’re comfortable with interval runs on the treadmill to avoid injury 👍🏻

If you want to get FASTER? ⬇️Add these drills to your training! Incorporating these exercises twice a week will improve your sprint speed by improving power & efficiency. They develop explosive strength, reinforce proper sprint mechanics, and train your muscles to generate force quickly—essential for maximum speed. 1️⃣ Bounding • Why it makes you faster: Develops stride length & force application, cover more ground with each stride. • Trains explosive forward propulsion and improves sprint mechanics. • Strengthens glutes, hamstrings, and calves for better acceleration and top speed. 2️⃣ Alternating Single-Leg Jumps • Why it makes you faster: Improves unilateral power & ground contact efficiency. • Improves coordination and balance, smoother & more efficient stride. • Trains reactive strength, to generate more force off the ground. 3️⃣ Jumps Every 3rd Step • Why it makes you faster: Improves stride rhythm & force production. • Reinforces timing and coordination for efficient acceleration. • Trains fast-twitch muscle fibers, increasing speed and explosiveness. 4️⃣ Frog Jumps •Builds lower-body explosiveness, VERY important for powerful sprint strides. • Increases leg drive and hip mobility, improving sprint acceleration. • Develops force application & efficient ground contact, leading to faster sprints. #jump #plyometrics #performance #speed #athletics #trackandfield #running
