more sprint training in the gym



So we've addressed shorter (but effective) training sessions with smart exercise selection so that we are still recieving a training effect and not just ' gassing' ourselves for the euphoria of persieved physical exertion.


So, here is an example of a 20 min. training session:

1 hindu squats

2 alternating kettlebell bent over rows

3 punching bag

4 russian twists

5 jumprope


Here we have 5 exercises, done for 1 min. in a circuit fasion, 4 times through.

keeping in mind that the body (wants) to work as an unit we have a lower body exercise (pushing us away from the planet [jumping]), a pulling movement, a pushing movement a core movement and active rest.


This circuit allows for high volume multi -joint exercises which in turn increase hormonal output; raise the metabolic response; increase fat burning, hypertrophy, cardio-vascular adaptation, strength endurance, mental toughness and intestinal fortitude all without decreasing current strength levels.
