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 accord-
ing 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 has 17 levels of intensity.
The maximum speed and elevation are displayed in the speed and elevation win-
dows when the user is choosing their level.
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 in
crease respiration and blood flow to working muscles. The warm-up is con
trolled by the user to meet their 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 recov
ery 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. The SPRINT 8 workout takes only 20 minutes to complete.
