When was the last time you really sprinted? Running all out, arms pumping, knees driving, feet detonating off the floor. For many of us, the answer would be during a bleep test in PE back at school.
But for the men and women who attend Better Every Day gym in Orlando, Florida, the answer is now.
They’re members of the Movement/ Athleticism/Power (MAP) group class, which was created by trainer Trevor Anderson and features, more often than not, 10-second sprint intervals that push you to run all out. “Sprinting is my solution when people start talking about their goals,” says Anderson, the owner and founder of Better Every Day. “As long as a person is healthy enough to do a 10-second interval, sprinting can be a viable solution for a lot of these things.”
The things he’s talking about are likely already the reasons you hit the gym: building muscle, shredding fat, chiselling your abs and prepping your body for what life throws at you. Infusing your workouts with a dose of speed can help with each goal. For years, pro sports teams have used speedwork to hone power and explosive athleticism, but the practice has only recently begun to trickle down to trainers who work with mere mortals.
