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 one minute
and 30 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.
