Using The Sprint 8 Program - Vision Fitness T9250 Owner's Manual

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 radi-
cal 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 in
crease 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 re
covery 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.
