Why Sprinters Wear Tight Shorts

Why Sprinters Wear Tight Shorts

Dear Friend,

I've been busy putting together more details on the 30 Second Conditioning program and ran across something I wanted to share with you.

While surfing the web for the details of some stories - I can't keep everything up in my fact-filled noodle - I started seeing more and more images of sprinters. And one thing caught my attention.

Almost every picture I saw had sprinters (male and female) in some seriously tight shorts.

So, why would these athletes put themselves in these outfits?

Because they can.

That's right. Oh coaches may say that smaller shorts restrict less, have less wind resistance - and there may be something to that. But, really you wouldn't think of packing athletes into those things if they didn't have the lower bodies that they did.

Can you imagine (OK, I guess we've all seen examples of this - but we try to block them from our memory) putting somebody in those shorts if they had flabby thunder thighs, behemoth backsides or saddlebag hips?

Or, skinny, weak chicken legs - which wouldn't be good either.

No, sprinters exhibit none of those. Instead they sport tight, lean toned muscles in their legs - from their calves to their thighs to their hips to their glutes. No excess flab, nothing soft or saggy.

And the reason sprinters have those muscles has a lot to do with the exercises they do - and the exact way that they do them. Body shaping exercises that target those areas like nobody's business.

It's why I'm including a chapter in 30 Second Conditioning devoted entirely to these lower body movements http://www.makesyoufast.com/new_products_pre_order.html . So that YOU can train the same way - and get similar results.

If your legs, hips, thighs and buht are problem areas for you (if they're too big or too small), then be sure to learn how to train like a sprinter - and watch those liabilities turn into assets instead.

You might even need to invest in some tighter shorts.
