Sprinting Burns Calories In A Short Amount Of Time

Sprinting up a hill or a flight of stairs can burn more than 900 calories per hour. You’ll want to sprint with maximum effort at a pace you can keep up for 20 seconds, then follow with a recovery run at half of that intensity for double the time.

Sprinting is a great way to burn a lot of calories in a short amount of time, while the recovery gives your lungs time to absorb more oxygen that your blood distributes to your muscles.
