  What to do: For the next 2 weeks, sprint 15 mins every week.

  If there's one excellent form of exercise that you should be adding to your workout program, sprinting would be it. Sprinting is a great way to get the heart rate up, get your body burning off stored body fat tissue, and improve your fitness level significantly.

  Most people avoid sprinting because it is very hard work, but if you're serious about making fitness progress, it's a perfect form of exercise to be doing. Once a week is all it takes to see some significant changes occurring in your body and move yourself one step further towards success.

  Let's take a quick peak at a few different ways that you can sprint.

  Uphill Sprinting

  The first pick for sprinting is uphill running sprints. Pushing yourself hard to run up a hill as fast as possible is all it'll take to really get your heart rate revved and you seeing optimal fat burning results.

  Uphill sprints can be performed anywhere you find a hill and will be built to only last for a brief period of time.

  Sprint up and walk back down. Do this ten times per workout and you'll be set.

  Swimming Sprints

  If you need something that is lower impact for doing your sprints, swimming sprints may just be the perfect option for you. Swimming sprints are great since they'll work both the upper and lower body and the water will even provide a low level of resistance as well.

  Just be sure that you do have a base level of swimming skill behind you before attempting to sprint during your session in the water.

  Sports Sprints

  If you're more of a team exercise person, many sports also allow you to sprint as well. Football, soccer, hockey, tennis, or any other sport where you have to make a rapid play will work in much the same way as running sprints will.

  Best of all, the sprints are not synchronised with a clock and this can actually work in your favor. It'll keep your body guessing as to what's coming next.

  Outdoor Field Sprints

  Finally, consider outdoor field sprints. Find an empty field somewhere and simply sprint as fast as you possibly can. There's nothing like the feeling of running across an empty field to bring you stress release and joy.

  Run back and forth five or six times per session.

  So don't let boredom get the best of you with your workouts any longer. Sprint at least once a week and you'll feel more interested in your workout and see a faster rate of success as well.
