Cardio (Sprints)
Now that I have talked about jogging which will help your endurance in sports and lose weight if you do it consistently and eat a nutritious diet. Lets talk about sprinting this is when you go the fastest that you can. Like with all workouts you want to do your warmup stretch and do the same light jog around the track (1 lap). After the warmup you can do 4 sprints of 1/4 of a lap, go the fastest you can dont slow down if anything go faster. After each sprint take a 30 second break and do it again. Next you can do 2 sprints of 1/2 of a lap. This is really difficult especially since you are already tired so try to finish. Finally you are going to sprint a full lap. When you first start sprinting this may seem impossible but once you practice more sprinting you will be able to finish all these exercises without slowing down. If you are just beginning you may want to cut down on the amount of sprints and build up to more sprints as you progress and eventually start doing more sprints. Sprints help athletes do the toughest part in a game or match. For example in football it would help the wide reciever ( person catching the ball) run faster than the person covering him so that he can catch the ball. Sprinting is very helpful for everyone though and it should be done by everyone

Hey. I just wanted to say that I like sprinting, and you continuously refer to sprinting as a dreadful, tedious, annoying, and banal practice, but it can actually be quite fun. For example, two times a week I am required to do speed and agility for soccer, and sprinting is a big part of that. To make it fun, we use the ball, and there is always a way for everyone to enjoy it. For example, maybe you can have a lollipop at the end of each sprint or possibly even sprint passing bean bags with a friend. Try it!
