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 in your body. Producing Human Growth Hormone
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 their 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 20 to 30 RPM 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. To complete the Sprint 8 workout, it takes only 20 minutes.
