GENERAL
SPRINT 8
This program is exclusive to VISION FITNESS exercise equipment. This is
a program that stresses high intensity, a moderate amount of resistance,
and as many repetitions that a person can perform in a specified period
of time (usually 20-30 seconds). This program works especially well for the
time crunched exerciser. It allows you to work both the slow and fast twitch
muscle fibers of the body. This program gives you a good cardiovascular
and strength workout. The thing that is most appealing about this program
is that an individual can complete it in 20 minutes.
This is how the program works:
The person picks the number of exercises they want to perform. Examples
would be 1, 2, 4, or 8 exercises. The individual completes a 3 minute
warm up with a brisk walk or exercise on a piece of cardiovascular
equipment. After the warm up is complete, the user begins performing the
first exercise maintaining a high intensity pace throughout the determined
amount of time (20 to 30 seconds). After this period of time, the individual
can perform an active, low intensity recovery phase, stretching, or
complete rest. This should last 1.5 to 2 minutes or less, if you are at a
higher fitness level. After the recovery phase, the individual performs the
second high intensity exercise for the required amount of time (20 to 30
seconds). This is followed by the second recovery phase. This process
repeats until you are done with 8 high intensity intervals. Finish the workout
by completing a 3 to 5 minute very low intensity cool down.
