Performing short sprints at intervals throughout the day raises your heart rate more effectively than low intensity training, and can ultimately help you lose more weight than would low intensity training alone. Sprinting is debatably the most effective cardio method to burn the most amount of fat in the least amount of time. It combines aerobic (endurance building) and anaerobic (muscle building) exercises into the same workout session. I have been able to shave off very precious seconds off my mile. Running as fast as you can, or sprinting, makes you breathe harder, so it increases the amount of oxygen in your blood. Interval training burns calories while adding muscle and enhancing cardiovascular endurance. I prefer static stretching at the end of the track workout to help loosen up the muscles, which can become tight and fatigued after the intense sprinting. Before beginning an interval training session using sprints, you need to warm up (just as you do for any form of exercise). You are going to sprint as fast as you can for 200 meters, which is half the track, then you are going to walk for 200 meters.
This stretching at the end can also aid in recovery by reducing the amount of soreness you feel the next day. I am going to try bringing it down to 200 meter sprints and see how it goes.

The last couple sprints are tough because you may not be able to fully recover your breath. If you are in awesome shape, you may be able to shoot for 10 rounds, and conversely if you are starting out, you only lightly jog instead of sprint. This is a recipe for getting a lean body while spending MUCH less time working out. I prefer a couple times around the track (800 meters), which is about half a mile. You are going to alternate between sprinting and running for 5 rounds. Start the workout with a dynamic stretching routine, which helps the body improve kinesthetic awareness, get warmed up, and stretch out all at the same time. Interval training raises your metabolism and burns fat faster than low intensity workouts. Metabolic Workout That Burns a TON of Calories.
