Do Sidewalk Sprints

You don’t have to be a track star—or even win your age group at the local Turkey Trot—to benefit from speed workouts. Short, speedy bursts of running are hands down the best way to get a body that looks lean and defined, says Nabie Fofanah, a personal trainer at the Sports Club at Chelsea Piers in New York City as well as USA Track and Field certified track coach. That’s because speed work taps into your body’s fast-twitch muscles, burning maximum calories in minimum time. Simply mark a distance of about 50 paces on a sidewalk, quiet street, or stretch of relatively flat grass, and you’re set. After warming up thoroughly, run the distance at a pace just a notch below an all-out sprint. (You’ll be going fast, but feel like you have one more gear to go.) Rest for 30 seconds, then go again, aiming for 10 total sprints.
