This page covers how to perform the bench sprint, including tips, variations, and the muscle groups it targets.


Bench sprints replicate running mechanics with added resistance and rhythm. Use them as a finisher or dynamic conditioning drill.

Instructions

  1. Stand behind a bench or step with one foot resting on the surface.
  2. Drive up with the lead leg, switching feet in the air and landing with the opposite foot on the bench.
  3. Pump your arms naturally as you switch legs.
  4. Repeat for time or reps, focusing on rhythm and control.
