<p> <P align="justify">Today&#8217;s workout involves random combinations of fast walking, easy running, and sprinting. After several minutes (~5 minutes) of powerwalking and/or easy running, begin performing intermittent sprints. Vary the length and intensity of each sprint (E.g.

It is easy to overdo it on this workout. Vary your pace every one to three minutes throughout the twenty minutes training session.</P> <P align="justify">Ideas to incorporate in your workout:</P> <UL> <LI>High intensity sprints of 8-15 seconds  <LI>Medium intensity sprints of 15-30 seconds  <LI>High/medium intensity running for 1-3 minutes  <LI>Sets of Jumping Jacks, Burpees, Mountain Climbers, or Jump Squats  <LI>Sets of Squats, Lunges, or Pushups  <LI>Bear Crawling or Crab Crawling</LI></UL> <P>Post results to Comments.</P></p>
