Want a six pack?One...Two...Three..... Go! Sprint training is the most explosive training you can do. What does explosivity have to do with abdominal strength and tone? First we have to realize that what we are referring to here is not just showing up on the track to run a few laps, but rather we are talking about high-intensity, all-out sprinting and becoming more and more proficient at it as you do so. The more proficient you become at high intensity sprinting, the more you properly engage the muscles involved, such as legs and glutes - and of course the core. Abdominal Speed Consider this: A world-class sprinter covers 100 meters in about 44 to 47 steps and the average person would probably cover that distance in about 57 to 60 steps. That means youre working your core 58-60 times in that distance! There is a very powerful combination during sprint training of power output, aggression and relaxation, engagement, constant tension, efficiency, technique, and efficiency in technique. The more sprinting you do (while maintaining a helpful low body fat percentage), the more toned your abdominal muscles will be. Notice the abs of Olympic sprinters. Rarely are ab workouts the top priority of world-class sprinters and that is because their cores are built on the track. Keep in mind that you do not have to run as fast as Olympic sprinters to get these results but you do need to sprint your fastest in order to create the same benefits.
