VIDEO: Hill sprints to torch stubborn fat 

10/12/2014

0 Comments

 
With just 7 days to go before competing in the NPA British BodyBuilding Finals, I decided to increase my workload to burn the miniscule bits of fat that remain on my body! Hill sprinting is a fabulous way to to do this as well as toning the hamstring and glutes, improving lung capacity and cardiovascular fitness. Just ensure you're sufficiently warmed-up - a light 5-10 minute jog, followed by bodyweight squats and lunges and 2-3 medium paced hill sprints - then you're good to go!

Following my chest and biceps workout I did eight 30 second all-out hill sprints with a couple minutes recovery. I then went for a 40 minute bike ride down the canal to complete my 3 hour workout.  Sam

After doing the 15 mile bike ride in the week I decided it was time for some real high intensity exercise as I was short on time and really wanted to get my heart rate going. I performed 15 all out sprints with 40 second rest in between. 

Race anyone!!!???

Do Runners Need to Weight Train?

The answer is a definite YES. 
I've had new clients who have run marathons but never weight trained but after being put on my weight training program performed a lot better. Here are some of reasons why:-

  • Leg and hip strengthening exercises help to prevent injuries
  • With the right program, your body composition will improve without making you too muscular
  • Performing compound exercises such as squat and deadlifts will increase your core strength, making your running more efficient as well as protecting you lower back
  • You will fun faster due to stronger leg and hip muscles pushing harder through the ground
These are just some of the many benefits. If you're a runner, don't just run! It's time to pick up the weights
