Secrets Professional Athletes Use to Get Lean

Seen any good movies lately? I have. I played hooky one day last month, after a stressful week that felt more like a year’s worth of business crises and issues, and treated myself (all by myself) to a movie called, "How She Move", and although it was short on content, it was rich in characters, conflict and inspiration. One of the most powerful lines from the movie (which will be the subject of my first blog post), is made by the main character is 'Raya', played by new young actress, Rutina Wesley, when she says "Its funny how one moment can change a million that come after it."

I think this is a powerful statement simply because it is true. No one knows the future. All each of us knows and is given is the ability to choose how we act in the moments that we are given each of every day of our precious lives. Sometimes we make life altering decisions that dictate the directions our lives will go, whether we are ready or prepared to go there or not.

When we stare fear in the face, take courage by throat and willfully exercise all the God given integrity, strength and tenacity we can find in ONE MOMENT, life shows us that we can DO ANYTHING... And BE ANYTHING we desire! But we must take the necessary steps: When We Do... We Be!

These days just about everyone knows and can tell you the basic keys you should have for a good workout. Start with 20 to 30 minutes of cardio, stretch, add some weight training and throw in some abdominal work. But how do you cut through the basic routine to create a leaner, more agile, stronger body? The Pros know: Intervals, Sprints, Plyometrics and Weights. Today we’ll focus on Sprints.

When it comes to aerobic conditioning, you can do just about anything to mix up your workout: jogging, walking, swimming, rock climbing, skiing and rowing are great activities, just to name a few. But how about running sprints? Performing sprints or explosive exercises requiring quick bursts of energy and speed, requires that we exhaust all our energy and fuel the body is capable of producing in a short period of time. This could be anywhere from 30 seconds up to 3 minutes.

Sprinting is a great way to tone muscle and burn calories quickly. Plus it gives a great lift to a flat workout routine that may have you in the plateau zone. Often times when we’re in a plateau we stop seeing physiological changes in our bodies and lose motivation. Adding a good sprint routine to a workout can take less than 15 minutes and does not necessarily need to prolong a workout.

Prior to sprinting you should do a great deal of warming up. This would consist of extensive stretching and form running. No one should participate in running sprints unless you have your physicians consent and if you don't come from an athletic background, you should consult with an athletic trainer or sprint coach because running sprints can be very demanding to the body and respiratory system; plus it could lead to injury if you don’t know what you’re doing. Sprinting is however a great tool and resource the pros use each and every day to get fit and stay lean. So think about adding it to your next routine.
