Looking for a way to increase the intensity of your workout? Professional athletes and hollywood stars are amping up their fitness routines with speed parachutes. The parachute is designed to develop a faster start and enhance your explosive speed and sprinting power. During training, the speed parachute produces drag which increases with speed. The faster an athlete moves, the more drag it produces.

Pro football players and olympic sprinters are not the only one’s jumping on board. Beyonce’s physical trainers added the parachute to her training sessions to get her in shape for her role in Dreamgirls:

“My trainer takes me parachute sprinting — running up and down hills, trailing a small parachute to make my legs work harder. I run six miles a day when not dancing.”-Beyonce.
