One Of The Most Effective Leg Exercises for Women is Sprinting
In Part I we discussed about how to reduce thigh fat and at the same time maintaining or even building muscles to have toned thighs through performing this excellent exercise called SPRINTING.
And I have also provided some essential preparation steps including stretching and warming up.
In the second part I will continue discussing about how to sprint and provide some samples to have an effective workout therefore reducing thigh fat as one of the benefits. Part II Best places for performing sprints Using smooth and flat ground for sprinting is strongly recommended, and if you have the choice to perform sprinting on track and field that would be the best.
So if there is a nearby high school or college that has track and field then you should utilize it.
Also some empty parking lots can qualify for sprinting. Just look around and I am almost certain you will find some places for you to perform sprint workouts because it worth it in order to build strong and firm thighs as well lowering thigh fat as your priority objective in the first place.
Body Posture Keep your upper body erect like a proud marine soldier or one of those Victoria's Secret modeling on a stage happily after eating a decent meal and before throwing it up. Keep your head up and don't look down eyes looking down so you don't have tendency to drop your head and droop your shoulders. Don't freeze your arms when you sprint but keep them marching as fast as you sprint. When you begin sprinting start like the following steps: First, start jogging for few steps then... Start running for another few steps then... Sprint. For how long do you sprint and how often? When you sprint, it will take you several seconds before you begin to fatigue, and it depends how fit you are. You can either use time or distance to measure your sprinting capability and progressing from that point. Start with five seconds and work your way up to 10 or even 12 seconds. Make sure you don't include of the jogging and running time with the actual sprinting exercise. Or you can use a distance instead of time, like, starting with 10 - 15 yards and if you are a metric system challenged person, that would equal to 30-45 feet distance. I If you are going to use time then get you a digital wrist watch that has timer function which most of them do, and they are affordable as well. If you going to perform two workouts a week then maybe you should start between 8-10 sets. Or if you choose three workouts a week you can perform 8 sets for each workout.
Last point about sprinting is this; when you sprint you should run as fast as you can "where you spend more time on air than on ground". Few terms to be familiar with: Set: each set consists of one sprinting bout (7-10 seconds or 12-20 yards) Active Rest Intervals(ARI): it is a recovery time that you will rest between each set by walking or jogging before you repeat.
I hope the information here will give you a formidable tool to get rid of unwanted thigh fat and build your legs that you will look forward to wear shorts in the summer time and be proud of the work you have invested in yourself. Until next time, take pleasure in your mission to the one of if not most effective fat loss and heart pumping exercise.
