This Star Wars inspired run workout, Force Speed, can help warriors increase their run speed, agility and overall endurance.
Fictional to Functional Fitness:
Although rarely seen among the Star Warts franchise, Jedi's hold the power to move at quick speeds while using the force. The use of force speed was first seen in Star Wars Episode 1, The Phantom Menace when Qui-Gon Jinn and Obin-Wan escaped an attack from Destroyer Droids. This Star Wars inspired run workout will challenge warriors to complete a series of short sprints to increase running speed, agility and cardiovascular endurance to move in a similar fashion as the Jedi race that is equivalent to our human world.
