Hopefully a lot of y’alls are sticking to the at home workouts. Starting to crank out more reps with some decent weight

The muscle development in her back is impressive.
Before everything shutdown, you’d be surprised the average gym goer who doesn’t work back, legs etc.

Having a balanced physique spares you from major injuries in the long run. Glad you have goals to strive for.

I realized doing sprints worked the legs as much as the core. Explains why professional female sprinters have such a large midriff.
Sprint is underrated as a muscle building exercise.
Sprinting is an entirely different workout than your typical endurance jog.

Sprinting like weight training is taxing on the CNS.
It builds muscle. Look at your typical olypmic sprinters, athletes in the nfl, nhl, even women’s hockey. Most athletes train anaerobic rather than aerobic. That’s my training set up. If you do get into sprinting, twice a week is fine. Until your body adapts to that type of training. It’s extremely taxing on the body.
