Sprints
Sprinting requires running at a fast speed, which helps to work the leg muscles in a similar manner to weight training. Be sure to warm up first, and then take a racer’s starting position low to the ground. Use your legs to push you forward and run as hard and fast as you can to the point you’ve chosen as the end. Try sprinting to the end of your driveway or the end of the block then walk back to where you started and repeat five to six times.
Follow up a sprint session with a series of lunges and squats and you’ll feel the burn for sure. Your thigh muscles may ache the first time you do sprints, as they are not used to this particular workout. Fight through the ache and do it again the next day, and before you know it you’ll start seeing the results you want.
