STRIDE WORKOUT

As with all of the program's running workouts, this workout session will commence with a general warm-up followed by a specific warm-up for running. The specific warm-up for running includes drills which will help not only warming up the muscles used when running but will enhance running performance by rehearsing running's complex skills.
Sunday's main training event is ten sets of twenty-five meter strides. Besides being a great toning activity, striding enhances physical performance by improving speed-endurance. Improved speed-endurance will allow you to be able to hold your top speed for a longer period of time. Strides should be conducted at about fifty to sixty percent of one's top speed.

Reducing Excess Body Fat

The body is composed of fat and fat-free mass (such as bone, muscle, tissue, water). Total body fat is composed largely of stored fat and a small amount of "essential" fat that makes up cell membranes, nerve sheaths, as well as fat padding vital structures. Excess body fat is stored fat which does not support the body’s normal functions and can degrade one’s health and wellness. Excess body fat has been linked to various health risks, including; high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, cancer and heart disease. Additionally, excess body fat reduces one's physical performance by detracting from endurance, speed and stamina.
Reducing excess body fat is best accomplished with a comprehensive approach including healthy nutritional habits coupled with physical activity. Although not required, weight loss is often associated with body fat reduction.

Speed Training


Speed drills are super physique builders. Sprinting helps tone all legs muscles as well as the glutes and do a good job burning fat. Three different speed training drills are used for the program; skipping, striding and wind sprints. Skipping adds explosiveness to one's step and helps increase stride length. Top speed is obtained through a combination of optimal stride interval (leg quickness) and stride length. Striding, running at fifty to sixty percent of maximum speed, helps improve speed endurance. Speed-endurance is the ability to maintain top speed for a longer distance. Wind sprints develop acceleration and top speed.

BUILD A TIGHT BOOTY WITH ATHLETIC TRAINING


Athletes in general have some of the shapeliest and toned backsides on the planet. The glutes are best activated by power and speed movements; such as dashing and jumping. Explosive sporting events such as long and triple jumping, pole vaulting, sprinting, tennis and volleyball rely heavily on powerful glutes. Having super strong glutes is a prerequisite for success in speed and power events. Bodybuilders talk about “glute day or “squat day”, for these athletes, every day is glute day!

Beach volleyball is considered an anaerobic power sport were diving, jumping and sprinting are common activities. Beach volleyball players' power development training program includes two types of activities; plyometrics (jumping drills) and weight lifting. Speed, agility and quickness (SAQ) training gives players the ability to change directions quickly and reduces the chances of injury while conducting drills with the volley ball.

Sprinting and jumping are great ways to tone your derriere and build an athletic physique. Hurdlers do both in a single event. Hurdlers are phenomenal athletes; curvy and strong, fast and fit. Using their training techniques will go a long way in developing physical skills while shaping and toning your entire body.

FAST & FIT WORKOUT PLANS


Hurdlers tend to be leaner and have a broader conditioning base than their level-surfaced sprinting counterparts. Due to the nature of their event; in addition to speed and technique training, hurdlers must develop additional coordination, endurance and resiliency. For this program, that translates into more variety built into the training plan's workouts.

Hurdlers are phenomenal athletes; curvy and strong, fast and fit. Using their training techniques will go a long way in developing physical skills while shaping and toning your entire body.

HURDLERS: Requisite Physical Fitness Components


Each athletic position or events within certain sports demand specific abilities and skills. For hurdlers to be successful, they must develop the following components of fitness:
  • Agility – the ability to quickly change directions. For most sports, this means moving left or right. For hurdlers, it means up and down movement (hurdling);
  • Coordination – the ability to combine simple movements into an efficient complex movement;
  • Flexibility – the ability to move joints through a full range of motion;
  • Muscular Endurance – the ability to execute movements repeatedly;
  • Muscular Strength – the ability to produce force;
  • Speed – the ability to move quickly from one point to another.
