Since I recently touched on my sprint workout and sprinting biomechanics, I thought it’d be a good time to elaborate on exactly what it is I do when I hit the track and WHY.
Sprinting helps in burning body fat while maintaining and even building muscle. Being that it is a high impact exercise, sprinting also helps build bone density and strength. And of course, it builds endurance, so even if you’re a distance runner you can benefit from adding some sprint sessions to your training as it will help increase your speed and and allow you to go further during those long bouts of cardio.
So if you’re looking to challenge yourself and mix up your training, try this out to start. And be warned, this is a full body workout – you can expect to feel soreness in everything from your chest, upper back, abs, quads and hammies. Don’t believe me? Just take a look at a sprinter’s physique and tell me that they’re not using every single muscle of their body to work!

This time, my mom brought down a few things that I had been storing at her house for safe keeping, as well as some items that she knew my antique-loving self would love to have in my home. Decorating the apartment is still an on-going project, but I’m off to a solid start!
