Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions
-
Step 1
Find a hill with about a 15 - 30% grade. It should be long enough to run a few hundred feet.
-
Step 2
Stretch thoroughly before starting your hill sprints. Make sure that your shoes are on tightly and that you have water nearby.
-
Step 3
Starting at the bottom of the hill, sprint at full speed up the hill until you run out of energy or reach the top of the hill. The sprint should take anywhere from 10 to 20 seconds and you should be out of breath when it's over.
-
Step 4
Walk down the hill and repeat the process. You will quickly feel exhausted from the hill sprints. A beginner should try for 5 to 10 sprints.
-
Step 5
Stretch again after completing your hill sprint workout. Give yourself a few days to rest before trying hill sprints again.
