Leg Lengthening Exercises - Sprinting

First of all, sprinting and jogging are 2 entirely different things. For the purposes of this program

and these exercises, you will be sprinting.

Sprinting is simply running as fast as you can for a very short distance. There are two ways is

which sprints will help you to develop longer legs:

1. Sprints (a.k.a. interval training) helps to temporarily boost the amount of growth hormone

secreted by the pituitary gland, which in turn helps to initiate growth.

2. Sprints are one of the best ways to stress your leg bones very quickly. In fact, if you only

had time for one leg exercise activity on a given day, then doing a few sprints would be the

best choice.

To begin, find a straight, level and safe area to perform your sprints. Sprints can be performed

on grass, sand or asphalt. Establish a starting point and measure approximately 40 yards (120

feet) from the starting point to the end point. You can choose to mark the starting and ending

points in some manner or use nearby landmarks as your guide. Next, beginning from a standing

position at the starting point, simply run as fast as you can towards the ending point. You will

feel winded, but don't sit down. Walk back slowly to the starting point and repeat 4 more times

for a total of 5 sprints.

Perform this simple task every other day. We recommend you perform the sprints on the same

day that you jump rope.

There is no benefit to doing additional sprints; in fact, doing additional sprints could cause you to

develop shin splints - so don't overdo it. A few sprints every other day is all you need to spur

sufficient growth As an added element of interest, some of our members enjoy timing
themselves with a stopwatch during their sprints. Many of these members
have noticed significant improvements in their sprinting times which gives them an added boost of confidence and self-satisfaction.If inclement weather forces you to skip a day now and then, that's fine. You should still be able to perform the jump rope activity indoors.

Finally, the most important element of this activity is to make sure that you get proper rest

every night. After enduring the stress of sprinting and the other activities in this section, your

legs as well as your entire body require adequate rest in order for you to maximize your results.
