Have you ever noticed the difference between a sprinter’s and a marathon runner’s bodies? The marathoners are long and lean, not an ounce of fat with muscles that are trained to work over long distances and long amounts of time. Now, contrast that with a sprinter’s body. Usually a little more bulky and powerful; incredible muscle definition with explosive strength and power. I’m certainly not saying one is better than the other – your individual goals will take you down whatever path you choose. What I am saying is that training your muscles differently can yield different results.

So this week I put it to the test. I jumped on my treadmill and instead of running for 15 minutes I performed 15 minutes of sprint intervals (30 seconds on, 30 seconds off, with progressively increasing speeds). The results were amazing! I was GASSED by the end of it! My heart rate shot up higher than it normally does and I definitely felt the burn in muscles that I don’t otherwise. I was so excited about it, I couldn’t wait to sit down and type it out for you (which brings us to today’s workout!)! So here it is – below you’ll find the sprint interval I did along with my follow-up ab day. The whole thing took me about a half hour. So are you ready? Keep reading below to smash this workout!

tip secret increase workout fitness motivation

“I know it’s important to workout, I just don’t want to do it.”

“I have started before, been consistent for 2–3 weeks, and then stopped again.”

“How can I get motivated to start working out?”

Lately I have been getting quite a few emails from readers asking me a variation of this common question: “How can I find the motivation to workout?” Maybe your excuse is time – “I just can’t squeeze it in”. Maybe it’s apathy – “I know I should, but I just don’t want to.” It might even be lack of knowledge – “I know I need to exercise regularly, I just don’t know how to do it successfully.” Would you believe all of those are actual sentences from readers’ emails that I have received in the last two weeks?! Most of us understand the importance of a good fitness program, but how do we go about implementing it successfully? How do you find the motivation to start? Once you’ve started, how do you stick with it for longer than two weeks?

Well today on Tone-and-Tighten.com I wanted to share with you one fail-proof tip that is sure to not only encourage you to start moving, but also ensure that you stick with it long enough to achieve the results you desire. …
