Sprint Intervals

Sprint intervals — short all-out sprints with rest periods. The most time-efficient way to build speed and burn fat. Most time-efficient cardio for fat loss. Builds speed and explosive power. Improves VO2 max faster than steady-state cardio.

How to Do Sprint Intervals: Step by Step

  1. Drive knees high, pump arms hard
  2. Land on balls of feet
  3. Lean slightly forward at the start
  4. Decelerate gradually — don't jam the brakes

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Not warming up properly — 5 min jog first
  • Sprinting on tired legs — injury risk
  • Going 90% instead of true max effort

Sprint Intervals Tips

  • Sprint on grass or a track — easier on joints than concrete
  • True sprints should leave you breathless
  • Once per week is enough — very taxing on the body
