Have you ever wanted to experience the feeling of your legs going to jelly, the taste of blood in your mouth and your chest caving in all at the same time then I recommend doing some 100m sprints.

Now why on earth would you want to do something like that?

1. It’s extremely effective for training both your lung capacity and recovery.
2. The short bursts of high intensity exertion help release more fat burning, muscle building hormones.
3. You feel fantastic afterwards.

For me, my posture always feels awesome after doing sprints. My back feels straight, my abs are switched on and my hip flexors are nice and limber. They truly are the answer to our life of sitting all of the time.

Today’s workout: WOD 653
