Six-Pack Sprints

Sprint intervals are one of the best ways to blast stubborn belly fat. Choose one of the sessions below and make sure you have a stopwatch handy. Complete each of the runs suggested as quickly as you can, resting for approximately twice as long as each run takes you before moving on to the next one. For example, if it takes you one minute to finish a 200m sprint, you’ll rest or walk/jog slowly for two minutes, then complete the next sprint on the list.
