are. Now compare that to the emaciated weakling physiques of many
marathoners, and you’ll see that sprinting is where the action is at for a

healthy, ripped, powerful body! Now I don’t want to upset all of you distance

runners out there. Hey, if distance running is something you enjoy, then go
right ahead. But don’t say you’re doing it for the health benefits, because I

might just have to disagree. Section 2.1 in this book provided my full opinion
on why I believe highly variable intensity exercise (such as sprinting and

jogging, endurance cycling, or any same-pace cardio).

kettlebells and you’ve literally got yourself an entire home gym that you can

use for the rest of your life…worth every penny in my book!

4. Bodyweight Workouts – Try doing one or two workouts a week at home with

just bodyweight based exercises. These can be great because you can get
a high intensity workout done in only 15-30 minutes without having to go to

the gym on days that you might not have time for a trip to the gym. Try
