Increase Adrenaline and Burn Fat with Shuttle Runs
Shuttle runs increase adrenaline production and are great fat burners. Adrenaline production will break down and burn your fat stores.
Use shuttle runs to burn fat faster and really lean and tone your body.
Shuttle runs are effective fat burners because of at least three mechanisms:
1. Interval cardio - Research has proven that the benefits of anaerobic exercise (like sprint interval cardio) is superior to aerobic exercise for fat loss, fitness and heart health.
Doing these types of short burst workouts will change your hormones allowing your body to naturally regulate fat burning, appetite and moods.
Your body will release more fat from cells, use more fat as fuel during exercise and increase metabolic rate after exercise. All it takes is 20 minutes of exercise intervals.
The progression of your cardio exercise should be low-intensity aerobics to moderate/high-intensity aerobics to high-intensity anaerobic exercise.
2. Speed - Sprinting activates your bulkier, shapely fast twitch muscle fibers. These fast twitch muscle fibers lie dormant when you do slow-paced cardio sessions (hint).
Sprinting will really burn the fat on your butt, hips, thighs, hamstrings and lower legs. Fat will also be burned on your upper body. You don't have to be fast, just run as fast as you can during the shuttle.
3. Sudden changes in direction - This adds more intensity to an otherwise intense form of exercise. Shuttles will improve your dynamic balance, power and coordination.
Try this top shuttle drill in your workouts to release adrenaline and burn more fat:
Speed Shuttle Drill or 5-10-5 Cone Drill - Place three cones in a straight line, 5 yards apart. Start in a 2-point or 3-point stance at the middle cone.
Run as fast as you can to the left cone (5 yds) and touch ground with your hand, run as fast as you can to the right cone (10 yds) and touch ground with your hand and finish running through the middle cone. That's one repetition. Walk for 30 seconds between sets. Do 8-10 intervals. This is a great interval cardio workout!
Add shuttles to your exercise mix and you will start to see your body toning up faster.
