SPRINT 8 is the perfect fitness
solution!
Brief description of the Vision
Fitness® SPRINT 8 program:
The SPRINT 8 program consists of four minutes of sprint
intervals* - broken out into eight, quick 30-second segments - and 16
minutes of "active rest." The program includes the following phases:
- The warm-up period gradually increases your
heart rate, respiration and the blood flow to working muscles. The
warm-up is controlled by the user to meet their specific needs.
- Interval training starts immediately after
the warm-up with a 30-second sprint interval. Seven recovery intervals
of one minute and 30 seconds will alternate with the eight 30-second
sprint intervals. On our bikes and ellipticals, the scrolling message
display on the console will prompt you to increase your pedal rate
(rpm) during the sprint interval and decrease pedal rate (rpm) during
the recovery interval. It is recommended that your rpm during the
sprints on our bikes be 30 to 50 higher than your rpm during the
recovery intervals (sprints should be 20 to 40 rpm higher on
ellipticals). Our treadmills will notify you when the speed and
elevation will automatically change (increase or decrease) based on
the level you've selected.
- The cool-down period helps return your
body's systems to resting levels. Less demand is placed on your heart
during recovery if an appropriate cool-down takes place following the
exercise.
Because this is a specialized training program,
total workout time is not displayed during the program. Instead, the
interval time is displayed in the time window. It takes only 20 minutes
to complete the SPRINT 8 program!
If you are over 30, you are likely
experiencing somatopause!
Somatopause is the medical term for the weight gain, loss of
muscle, energy decline and wrinkled skin you experience when you hit
middle age. To combat somatopause, medical researchers say people must
incorporate anaerobic exercise into their weekly fitness routine.
Anaerobic exercise programs, such as SPRINT 8, help you release your
fitness hormone. Try SPRINT 8 at a local Vision Fitness® retail location
