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
(3 minutes) 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
(14:30) starts immediately after the warm-up
with a 30-second sprint interval; changing both speed and
elevation. Seven recovery intervals of one minute and 30 seconds
will alternate with the eight 30-second sprint intervals. The sprints
will increase speed and elevation at the 3rd and 5th interval. The
recovery speed is about 2–3 mph slower than your sprint and the
recovery elevation is 0. You can alter your speed using the Speed
Quick Keys or SPEED UP and DOWN arrows. To adjust the
elevation; simply use the Elevation Quick Keys or ELEVATION UP
and DOWN arrows.
3.
COOL-DOWN
(2:30) 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.
In order to keep track of each segment/interval, the segment time is
counted down in the timer. It takes only 20 minutes to complete the
SPRINT 8 workout.
