How? Sprints! Oh, and sprints aren’t just running. Get creative and hop on your bicycle or the row machine (obviously you’ll have to the visit the gym for that one.) The idea is to get your heart rate pumping.

Here’s the plan:

While taking the time to catch your breath, don’t forget to occasionally drink some water to prevent dehydration. Try not to chug your water during your workout, small sips at a time prevent cramping which can definitely ruin your workout! When you’re all done, follow up with ample stretching and then feel free to chug some water to help replenish your body from all the calories you just sweat out!
