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.

between sprint interval and recovery interval is recommended.
