Sometimes the simplest routines are the most powerful. 👀
A 30-minute walk paired with just three 100-yard sprints (especially with a weighted vest) mimics the primal movement patterns of our ancestors — slow-paced tracking followed by fast, explosive bursts during the hunt. 🏃♀️🐾
(Incase you didn’t know we truly are hunters first and gatherers second!)
This combo helps deplete excess glycogen stores and improves your body’s ability to respond to insulin — a key factor in metabolic health. Short, intense bursts like sprints increase insulin sensitivity by improving glucose uptake in muscle cells, while walking supports steady fat oxidation. Dr. Sean O’Mara often highlights sprinting as one of the most effective tools for reducing visceral fat and restoring metabolic function. It’s not just about burning calories — it’s about retraining your body to run more efficiently on stored fat and ketones.
And let’s not forget the bonus: toned legs, strong glutes, and a fired-up core — all from a short, smart, primal-style session. 👊🏼💥🔥
Plus + fresh outdoor air and some time spent with your doggo! 🐶☺️🙌🏼
Also we were doing uphill sprints so don’t judge the speed too much;) 😜😅
