USING THE SPRINT 8 PROGRAM
The Sprint 8 program is an anaerobic interval program designed to
build muscle, improve speed, and naturally increase the release of
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) in your body. Producing HGH through
exercise and a proper diet has been shown as an effective way to burn
fat and build lean muscle mass according to Phil Campbell, author of
Ready, Set, Go! Synergy Fitness. Please go to Mr. Campbell’s website
www.readysetgofitness.com for more details about this radical new
approach to fitness.
The SPRINT 8 program features intense sprint intervals followed by
recovery intervals. The program includes the following phases:
1.
WARM-UP
should gradually increase your heart rate and increase
respiration and blood flow to working muscles. The warm-up is
controlled by the user to meet your specific needs.
2.
INTERVAL TRAINING
starts immediately after the warm-up with a
30-second Sprint interval. Seven Recovery Intervals of 90 seconds
will alternate with the eight 30–second Sprint Intervals. The
message display will prompt you to increase your stride rate during
the Sprint Interval and decrease stride rate during the Recovery
Interval. A difference of 40 to 60 Strides Per Minute between
Sprint Interval and Recovery Interval is recommended.
3.
COOL-DOWN
helps return your body’s systems to resting levels. Less
demand is placed on your heart during recovery if an appropriate
cool-down is used following the exercise.
Due to the fact that this is a specialized training program, total workout
time is not displayed during the program. The interval time is displayed in
the time window instead. It takes only 20 minutes to complete the SPRINT
8 workout.
