Everyone knows how busy this time of year is. There are decorations to put up, gifts to purchase, parties and events to attend, along with the regular daily schedule of work and family responsibilities. For me, when life gets rushed and I can’t fit it all in, the first thing to go always seems to be my workout routine! The crazy thing is that this is the time when we really need the exercise routine, both to keep our life in balance, and to burn those extra calories that we may be taking in over the Holidays.

This is the time of year when remembering the Sprint 8 Workout really makes sense! If you have 20 minutes, 3 times per week, you can get a great workout in a short period of time, and experience some great benefits.

The Sprint 8 Workout, developed by exercise physiologist Phil Campbell, consists of a 3 minute warm-up followed by 8 segments of anaerobic exercise lasting 30 seconds followed by 90 seconds of active recovery, and then a cool down after the 8 segments. That 20 minutes is a short, but definitely not an easy workout! The 30 second sprints need to be so hard that you get really winded and want to stop after 10 or 15 seconds, but hang on for 30 seconds before ending the sprint.

Of course anyone beginning this type of high-intensity workout needs to do so with approval from a physician, and with a slow, progressive buildup period. Individuals beginning this workout may start out by doing only 2 or 3 sprint segments and gradually working up to the 8 segment, 20 minute workout.

At HealthStyles Exercise Equipment, we feature Vision treadmills, exercise bikes and ellipticals that have a pre-set Sprint 8 program built in to their programming, but Sprint 8 workouts can be also done on any other piece of cardiovascular equipment.

For more information on the benefits of the Sprint 8 Workout and the research behind it, take a look at the attached video featuring Phil Campbell.

So don’t give up your workout during this busy season, just abbreviate it to fit your life right now. A Sprint 8 workout is a great way to do this, and once you get back to a more normal workout schedule, you will want to incorporate the Sprint 8 workout as part of your overall routine as a way to add intensity and interval training to your cardio workout!

Why are the associates and trainers at HealthStyles Exercise Equipment so excited about the Sprint 8 Workout? Because it works – and research has proven that it works! It is not a magic pill and should be incorporated into an overall routine that includes strength training and in some cases, endurance training, but it gives all of us a way to stay in shape by doing this 20 minute workout 3 times per week. It also gives us a workout that we can tell our customers and clients about that really works and is back by sound scientific research!

This video presentation reviews the benefits of the Vision Fitness Sprint 8 workout program with proven results.

The following video is a demonstration of the 20 Minute Sprint 8 workout included on Vision Fitness cardio exercise equipment.  

There is a lot of buzz these days about interval training. Interval training is a type of workout that involves bursts of high intensity work alternated with periods of rest or low activity work. The buzz is that this is the most efficient way to workout for the time crunched – aren’t we all? Also it has also been shown that high bursts of anaerobic activity stimulate the body’s production of growth hormone – this is the stuff that keeps you young. Don’t worry you will not be growing. :-) In fact this is a great way to lose unwanted fat. I like to combine high intensity cardio blasts with strength training for a full body workout. You can do in as little as a half hour. (more…)

by Phil Campbell – Ready, Set, Go! Synergy Fitness for Time Crunched Adults

The Sprint 8 Workout can be performed in many different ways.

Researchers show that high-intensity, anaerobic fitness training makes the body produce anti-aging, anti-MIDDLE-aging, athletic performance improving growth hormone NATURALLY, (Impact of acute exercise intensity on pulsatile growth hormone release in men, 2000, Pritzlaff). All Five Levels of the Ready Set GO Fitness program have a version of the Sprint 8 Workout based on age, conditioning, and training experience. This workout is perfect for time-crunched adults because it only takes 20-minutes. (more…)

Exciting new discoveries by biomedical researchers in the areas of health and anti-aging have begun to usher in a new paradigm in fitness training. Research shows that high-intensity, anaerobic workouts that include the short-burst, get-you-out-of-breath, sprinting types of exercise, will make your body release significant amounts of the most powerful “fitness hormone” in your body – growth hormone, or HGH.

The American College of Sports Medicine and American Heart Association new exercise guidelines for healthy adults under age 65 (August 8, 2007): Do moderately intense cardio exercise 30 minutes per day, 5 days per week.
