Why we sprint here at CrossFit Saved…
Here are the cliffs from the article from Mark’s Daily Apple about why sprinting is so important… And especially for FAT LOSS!
1. It Preferentially burns body fat.
2. It’s anabolic (that means it can increase muscle mass and strength)
3. It’s even more anabolic in women than men
7. It’s more efficient than endurance training
8. It takes way less time than you think
13. It lowers blood pressure
For more of the science-y stuff behind sprinting take a look at the article it is really good!
