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.
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.

The console will continuously monitor the heart rate, adjusting the resistance level of the Suspension Elliptical Trainer to keep your heart rate within several beats of your Target Heart Rate.
