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 one of our stores today!
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:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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!
