Hello and welcome to SPRINT THROWDOWNS! Before we dig into the goods here, I just want to share with you the love I have for these types of training sessions. Not sure about you but I LOVE getting outside to train. I can remember back when I would go to a local park near my house where I grew up as a kid and run hills. I d do this on days where it was 100+ degrees out and I LOVED it. I would run this one hill so much that by the end of the summer, there would be a trail running from the bottom to the top from me wearing down the grass. Back then I never thought about how hot or how tough the sessions were I just wanted to be outside to train! It wasn t until I started to train clients outside at local parks that I started to bring kettlebells, dumbbells, and sandbags with me to use in conjunction with sprints. That s when the real fun started to begin. Long story short, it s now been quite sometime since I ve been doing training sessions outdoors so I ve got a long list of past workouts that I ve used that have all produced some amazing results. What I have for you in this manual are 15 of my top FAVORITE Sprint Throwdowns which you can use as stand alone workouts or as add-on s to your current training routines. These sessions are short, super effective, but NOT meant to be easy. Some of the throwdowns I have for you only require the use of your bodyweight while the others blend in the use of various types of strength tools. All of them require you have a bit of open space for sprinting ;) Bottom line, ENJOY these 15 different Sprint Throwdowns and use them as you may. Just make sure to let me know which one becomes your overall favorite and if you have any questions, don t hesitate to contact me at TheForgedAthlete@gmail.com. Time to Go 110% H.A.M. Travis
BEST Ways To USE Sprint Throwdowns There are many different ways you can use these Sprint Throwdowns in your training programs. Below I include some of the forms you can use them: ==> Use as stand-alone workouts in themselves (perfect for when you re short on time and need something quick) ==> Use as a post workout, high-intensity finisher for focused conditioning and increased fat loss (sprints are by far one of the BEST methods for this) ==> Use on planned active recovery days (just make sure to use lighter loads than you normally would do for an ALL-OUT session) The ESSENTIAL WARM UPS ***Always make sure to prep your body before you train*** The Sprinters Warm Up ---> CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO DEMO 1A) Single Leg Step and Reach 1B) Lunge + Hamstring Stretch 1C) Walking Toe Grabs 1D) Walking Knee Grabs 1E) Toy Soldiers 1F) A Skips 1G) B Skips 1H) Single Leg Hops 1I) Side Shuffles 1J) Side To Side Lunges (Cossack Squats) 1K) Front to Back Leg Swings 1L) Side-to-Side Leg Swings 1M) Inch Worm to Sumo 1N) Short Sprints / Build Ups ***Use BEFORE ALL Sprinting Sessions NO EXCUSES***
