SPRINTS
As many of you know, I abhor running! It is not only a
waste of time but it damages the body and removes
precious muscle. Simply compare the body of a short-
distance sprinter and long distance marathoner and you’ll
see. The sprinter looks like a body builder / the marathoner
looks as though he just passed through Auschwitz. That is
why I tell people not to run!

For cardio, I go to Memorial Park or Allen Parkway three (3)
times a week to run sprints. The track around Memorial
Park is 3 miles long; 4 miles around Allen Parkway.

This is my routine M-W-F:

• Stretch for ten minutes (no more);
• Walk the first ½ mile at a normal pace;
• Sprint 20-30 meters;
• Go back to walking – roughly a 1/3 mile;
• Sprint 20-30 meters.
• Continue doing this until you reach 6-10 sprints.

The benefits of sprinting are:

Its the greatest form of fat reduction outside of
wrestling;
You will not lose muscle mass or size;
It’s an incredible cardio workout;you will reach your
zone.
You will increase the size of your quadriceps.
You will lower your body fat on your abdominals and
create definition and striation.
