Sprint days are absolutely my favorite training sessions. There's nothing better than sprinting your ass off to be better conditioned and fit. Sprints are great for fat loss, you lose weight and body fat much faster with sprinting than with a steady state aerobic run or jog. Sprinting builds muscles (compare long distance marathoners to track & field sprinters) and also increases the power of your fast twitch muscle fibers. Another aspect of your fitness that sprints enhance is your endurance and conditioning, making it possible for you to last longer in your activity and work more efficiently. Lastly, another benefit of sprints is that it doesn't and shouldn't take up much time. Sprinting for an intense 20 minutes ensures fat loss, muscle building, staying fit and healthy. When sprinting, quality over volume should be the focus.
Knowing just some of the benefits of sprinting, its time to get your beast mode on in a workout! Here is the main set and finisher that me and my training partners recently conquered! I hope you enjoy it!

- reps depend on how many people in your group. Each person leads/wears chute once or however many rotations that is decided.
- the goal: Person with chute must keep up or beat training partners not wearing chute.
Visualize the goal. Embrace the path. Conquer the struggle.
