5 Ways to Build Leg, Lung and Cardio Power With Sprints
Dear Friend,
In case you're wondering, the answer is "no."
We're still waiting for our currently unborn baby
to make an entrance into the "real world."
And chances are becoming more and more likely
that the day of her birth will coincide with a close
family relative. Hmmm, I wonder whom that might
be?
We go to see the doctor at 9 A.M. today for the final
check-up. Believe me when I tell you, this is an
incredibly exciting time for me.
One way or the other, our little girl is coming this week -
and quite possibly on Wednesday, which just
so happens to be "me cumpleanos." In case
you no espeak espanish - that means "my
birthday."
Many of you have asked if we have named our baby
girl yet. Well, as a matter of fact, we have. But I'm not
gonna tell you just yet. However, you can expect an update
very soon.
In the meantime, due to the barrage of emails on the
subject of sprint training, here are...
5 Different Types of Sprints You Can Do:
1. Uphill Sprints - these are great for building leg and
lung power, for burning fat and building muscle. If you
want to improve your cardiovascular health without
doing a ton of long slow distance - then this is my personal favorite.
2. Sprints on an Asphalt Track or Road - sprints on flat ground
are great too, but they are more dangerous for the beginner than
uphill sprints because of the increased possibility of a hamstring or
groin pull - as well as ankle sprains. Much harder to hurt yourself
going uphill.
3. Rope skipping - a great way to get 30 minutes of cardio in
only 10 minutes. I recommend the ropes they sell at
Lifeline USA - especially their speed ropes
and heavy ropes. See page 112 in Combat Conditioning for
the routine Karl Gotch taught me with the jump rope. It kicks
butt.
4. Stadium stairs - these are a close cousin of hill sprints. They
are phenomenal.
5. Sprints on Sand - whether on the beach or some other place
with sand (the desert would qualify), you can run your sprints on
this softer, more forgiving surface. At the beach you'll also get
to absorb some negative ions - and boy do those feel good. I
recommend running barefoot on the beach, especially at dusk.
Now, bear in mind that the 5 Ways to Do Sprints listed above
are general guidelines. Be sure to consult a physician before
embarking on a vigorous sprint regimen. Also, if you want more

Well, my friend, that's all for now.
