Be Well Workout of the Week: Torch Calories with High-Intensity Sprint Intervals

Ready, set, go!
By ·

This week, we sprint. Before you get freaked out by the word sprint, think of it in terms of simply pushing yourself to your limits. If that’s a fast walk for you, then walk super fast! If it’s a true sprint, go for it! You can adapt this workout to meet your needs, no matter what your fitness level.

You’ll have a series of sprint and recovery intervals throughout the workout and they can be done outside, on a treadmill, elliptical, in a pool, or wherever else you feel is appropriate. Push yourself hard during the sprints, keep moving for your recovery (move slow, but stay active), and get a little bit uncomfortable! Ready, set, go!
