I dont do flat sprints i do hill sprinting 3 days a week. Monday Wednesday friday so i have 48 hours between each sprint day and 72 hours to rest over the weekend after completing 3 days of hard sprints. I started doing 5 sprints at maxim effort and added 1 sprint per workout per week. Im now upto 20 sprints per workout. My fat loss is unreal. The muscle I've built is crazy. Upper body not just legs. My stamina has rocketed. Sprinting is the ultimate exercise us humans can do. Great video dude 👍
Hey man I'm just getting back into running again. Did you start off with only 5 hill sprints per day for 3 days? Or do you mean 5 sets of "x" amount of hillsprints?
A tip that i learnt at ballet to get your legs higher is to think about the thigs, not the foot. Just focus on getting your thighs high and your foot will go with it 👍
I'm 64, looking to begin sprinting for viceral fat and health. I didn't want to hurt myself, as I sit at a desk all day. This is wonderful! Perfect for me, a beginner. Just what I was looking for.
Just looking to get into sprinting correctly and this looks to be very good content. For context I recently found out that sprinting is one of the main ways to remove visceral fat which causes many issues with us. Thank you for this and I'm subscribing to watch more.
Working on starting to sprint as a 56-year-old!! Dr. Sean Omara says sprint to optimize and to rid my body of visceral fat. Your video was really helpful; thank you!
I didn't know anything about sprinting as a teen. I used to do calve raises in the shower religiously . By the time I was 15 I was dunking with ease. I also ran a 4.3 in football. Now I'm 36 and significantly slower ,I can still dunk but nothing spectacular.. speed adds to the lift imo
Thanks so much! aside 3-4 workouts with weights and bodyweight, i was already doing a one week hit training with 5-6 sprints after 15 minutes walking and some jogging. I waited for each sprint to have normal breath and hart rate like nothing happened to do the next one. But never knew this is so effective (i was surprised i had to recover 2-3 days really after one session) There is so many tips in this video i will have to watch it several times and start to optimize what i did.
Absolutely great video! The breakdown into specific exercises is just what I was looking for. Also, your advice on how to move your arms, legs and feet is not intuitive to the beginner and really helps a lot. Thanks very much for making this video and sharing your knowledge!
Just like to say thank you so much.. i have been going through sprinting techniques video for someone like me who for the first time about to venture into sprinting.. The video shows clear and simple ways on prepration before and during a sprint.. Best regards to u buddy.. from someone all the way from Indonesia.. 8)
I do swing dancing twice a week and I think that it can really help both in strengthening your foot muscles and in learning how to land on the ball of your foot. My partners are almost all significantly younger than I am and they usually tire out long before I do after 15 years of building up my strength and stamina.
I'm in my late 40s and not super fit. I've been recommended to do sprints for good circulation. I used to be a long distance runner, i always sucked at sprints but looking forward to this challenge.
Great drills. I'm training my son and do these except the calve training, I might add them once per week. I think it is important to add in core strengthening exercises at the end of drills to help with posture in sprints.
I'm learning to sprint so I can hopefully get on base during my next season of co-ed slowpitch softball or at least make it close since I'm not great at hitting or running. Great video for noobs like me just looking to not be the absolute worst player on the team- thanks!
brilliant video! Do you think team sport athletes like soccer players should try to have great form when they run? because it doesn't feel as natural when you have to change directions constantly. Thanks!
Yessir, soccer players benefit a lot from working on short sprints. Ronaldo even goes to the track and uses starting blocks: ua-cam.com/video/r2i6fX_iOh4/v-deo.html
Thanks a lot for sharing the tips especially for the beginner like me, God bleed you and keep sharing please! Wishing you from Palawan, PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭 🏃♀️🏃🏻🏃🏻♂️😊❤️
Hey, is it a good idea to firstly start with jogging, then commence my way to sprinting as my body gets used to it. Or should I firstly start with sprinting, im confused. I never ran for 4 years now, well as I was 12 I used to be very athletic. I want to feel that feeling again, where you can run as fast as you can while feeling the wind again. But I need advice, how do I start it out. Do I need to start jogging first.
Nah. The most important part is stretching. Then a light jog to warm the body up and then sprint. All in one session. Don’t go max on the sprint go about 50% then 75% 85% give more the stronger you get
I am 82yo grandma pretty fit for my age. I am not overweight but started sprinting to reduce accumulated visceral fat. I am concerned about sprinting on the track or even grass because of risk of trip and fall (I do have osteoporosis). So started using step machine with the arms in the gym for my sprints. I do 10 sprints 15 seconds duration, 3 days a week. Do you think I am getting sufficient cardiovascular work to achieve my goal of visceral fat loss? Thank you.
Nice thank you for the great tips I am a long distance runner and transitioning into sprinting because I have list a lot of speed due to being sick and lost my visible six pack any tips would be awesome
I am trying to run more but I am also trying to transition into barefoot-style of shoe wearing and walking and this video is perfect for that! Thank you I mean I found other videos that explain the Sprint drills but they don't tell you what each of them do and why you do each drill. I love all your videos that I've seen! I think that sprinting and running techniques are similar to power lifting techniques they actually inform on normal everyday movement and you can learn so much from these even not being a powerlifter or being a sprinter.
What would be a good way to add sprinting to my training? I’m about to be 52. I currently do strength training, CrossFit type metabolic conditioning, and also get in a couple of aerobic runs.
The best Drills for me. Is a skip because you learn how to stay tall and other important Things. Other good Drills are stright Leg bounding, because you learn the negative Strike and the 3 Drill in my list is Alternative Leg bounding.
I've been running 3 to 4 miles a day since 7th grade, long distance running, I'm now 47. Had a couple surgeries back to back which prevented me from running for months., ive put on alot of weight. I'm now back to running 3 miles a day but my muscles ache and my weight is not dropping off. Been researching the sprinting then to a light jog back to sprinting for 30 not sure how to break that down seeing that I've never sprinted.
I wamt a 20 min5k and dont sprint and barely can dp a 30 min 5k. Would a sprint goal prep me for getting close to 20min 5k? Im too impatient to do endless slow miles and I dont think my frame is the best. Id rather build a runners body with sprint stuff then focus more on the 20min5k.
So you know the example that you had with the punching in the example that you gave about the punching in the belly you would think that that would be a really good q but it's not because some people feel their abdomen were there to push out their bellies rather than to suck in
I did a speed test at school, and I got a medium score.... then I got frustrated, and went to the field, I could feel the wind on my face, and a voice told me to run, and to not stop.. at that time, I did over 30 laps, now im with a burning feeling to get faster and faster, but im too new to sprinting, would some of you have tips for a begginer?
PED and genetics are addressed in the beginning of the video, that plays a role for sure. However, swimmers are a better comparison, and their shoulders are pretty jacked too.
sir, when i'm at my top speed... My Rhythm is SO not in balance . I don't know if i should focus on knee drive or quickly flicking my butt with my heel .. YELP !!!

Glad you found it helpful!
On the track I also do some backwards lunges and backwards jogging, I find this helps the chins and ankles.
Excellent information, all makes perfect sense and easy to do, with no special equipment required. One question: what about standing arm swings?
That's a great drill too, I did them a lot especially when first learning proper arm technique.

THANKs I got your channel .It will surely help me in my sprinting.
Awesome, welcome to the channel!
This was a great video thank you! One
Question tho, how fast do we swing our arms? Is it one swing per step? I’m not sure
Thank you for watching, yes it should be one arm swing (both arms) per step.
Hey bro...great video..esp the part about the toe hops...conditioning my toes really helped me. Maybe u can do a segment on toes?
Very useful for working on those essential muscles, helps a lot with getting back into running
Sweet. This is very helpful. I will see about using these to their fullest effect

Sir please , make a video how to decrease ground contact time when running... How to quickly push off when running
I make my upper body so tight so I can't swing my arms faster while sprinting. can give any tips to avoid this mistake please

Great video. All help. No hype
omg this is super good, i have a 100m and this is rlly a lot of help
I don't own proper shoes for sprinting, but i live near the beach. Do you think I could do this drill on sand without worrying about injuries?
Yes. Sand sprints are actually great if you're training for health and or conditioning.

how many reps and rest in middle?
So you know the example that you had with the punching in the example that you gave about the punching in the belly you would think that that would be a really good q but it's not because some people feel their abdomen were there to push out their bellies rather than to suck in

Be consistent, stretch, warmup thoroughly, record your technique, lift weights, and time yourself.
thank you
thanks.👍
it was really good
Thank you Ari
Great. Thank u.
You should try vivo bearfoot shoes
Can the step 3 be rope skipping ?
That came to mind when viewing the bouncing drills. But rope skipping involves very different arm motions than sprinting.
It's similar but this movement allows you to focus more on power with each bounce.
Is high knees efficient my friend?
You referring to the high knee drill?
Thank you, now the police won’t stand a chance
PED and genetics are addressed in the beginning of the video, that plays a role for sure. However, swimmers are a better comparison, and their shoulders are pretty jacked too.
Helpful!
sir, when i'm at my top speed... My Rhythm is SO not in balance . I don't know if i should focus on knee drive or quickly flicking my butt with my heel .. YELP !!!
If I had to pick I would focus on the knee drive since the leg recovery depends on the knee drive and will auto correct if you fix it.
