183. How Sprinting Can Boost Your Fitness Routine (Even When You’re Not a Runner)


Listen Later

Lately, I’ve been bringing something back into my routine that I haven’t done much of in years… SPRINTING!


Nope - not distance running or marathons, but good old-fashioned, short bursts of speed. 


I used to LOVE running back in the day! These days, I’m all about doing what feels good and supports MY body. Right now, that looks like sprinting (along with my regular lifting workouts).


Here’s the thing - what worked in your 20s probably won’t work in your 30s, and what worked in your 30s, won’t cut it in your 40s. As we evolve, so do our routines. Sprinting is simple, free, AND time-efficient (we can all use more of that, right?!)


It doesn’t have to be a whole “thing” that feels complicated and stresses you out - just get outside and move your body!


Listen to your body, find a pace that feels good, and have FUN with it. I’d love to hear how you feel when you add sprinting to your fitness routine!!


In this episode, we cover:

  • My real thoughts on running (and why I’m not trying to be a “runner”)
  • Why your health routine has to evolve as you age
  • Simple ways to add sprinting or jogging into your daily life
  • How HIIT training supports your health goals
  • What the EPOC effect is + why it matters for fat loss
