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.
USING HEART RATE TRAINING
WHAT IS HEART RATE TRAINING?
Heart Rate Training means exercising at an intensity that keeps you in your ideal heart
rate zone. Your personal heart rate training zone depends on your fitness goal, such
as weight loss, cardiovascular endurance, or strength building. Refer to page 38 for
more information on heart rate training zones. VISION FITNESS HRT
®
programs are
set up to keep you at an ideal heart rate based on your fitness goal. These programs
automatically adjust resistance based on your heart rate readings.
The S7200HRT console features four programs (HRT Weight Loss, HRT Cardio, HRT
Interval, and HRT Hill) that offer the benefits of Heart Rate Training.
• These programs use the predicted maximum heart rate formula (220 minus age)
to determine your predicted maximum heart rate. Some individuals have higher
or lower maximum heart rates than determined by this formula. The programs
allow you to modify your Target Heart Rate to achieve your personal goals.
HAND PULSE HEART RATE
SENSORS
The Contact Hand Pulse Sensors are
included on each product to monitor your
heart rate. To use, grasp the sensors with
a comfortable grip during your workout.
The console will display your heart rate.
Although your signal will be displayed
immediately, it may take the system a few
seconds to zero in on your actual heart
rate.
NOTE:
The Contact Hand Pulse Sensors will work for the HRT
®
programs, but it is
recommended to use the telemetric chest strap for an uninterrupted signal and ease
of use.
