USING THE SPRINT 8 PROGRAMThe SPRINT 8 program is an anaerobic interval program designed to build muscle, improve speed, and naturally increase the release of Human GrowthHormone(HGH)inyourbody.ProducingHGHthroughexerciseand 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.

The SPRINT 8 program features intense sprint intervals followed by recovery intervals. The program includes the following phases: 1. WARM-UP (3:00) should gradually increase your heart rate

and increase respiration and blood flow to working muscles. The warm-up is controlled by the user to meet your specific needs.

2.INTERVAL TRAINING (14:30) starts immediately after the warm-up with a 30-second sprint interval; changing both speed and elevation.Sevenrecoveryintervalsofoneminuteand30secondswillalternatewiththeeight30-secondsprintintervals.Thesprintswillincreasespeedandelevationatthe3rdand5thinterval.Therecoveryspeedisabout2–3mphslowerthanyoursprintandtherecovery elevation is 0.

3.COOL-DOWN (2:30) helps return your body’s systems to restinglevels.Lessdemandisplacedonyourheartduringrecoveryifanappropriate cool-down is used following the exercise.

The location of your Treadmill is important in maintaining it properly.Findalocationthatdoesnotaccumulatedustanddirteasily.Aclean environment can help to prolong the life and improve the performance of your Treadmill.

ensure they are properly tightened. •Everythreemonths,checkthepowercord.

DECK WAXINGVISION FITNESS treadmills feature a wax lubricated phenolic deck, which may never require any maintenance. However, the deck is a wearable component and, under heavier use, or in some environments, the wax lubri-cant can wear out. To maximize treadmill life, the decks can easily have wax reapplied.

No waxing is required for the first year of use. After one year, it is recommended to wax the deck once every six months. This will enhance theperformanceandlifeoftheTreadmill.Weightcanhaveaneffectonhowthewaxwearsonthedeck.Aheavieruser(Example:250poundsandabove)mayneed towaxmore frequently.Also, runningwearsoutwaxfasterthanwalking.AskyourVISIONFITNESSretailerforinformationabout treadmill maintenance.

DEVELOPING A FITNESS PROGRAMBy purchasing this piece of VISION FITNESS exercise equipment, you have made a commitment to exercise and now have the convenience of exercising in your own home. Your new equipment offers the flexibility to exercise at whatever time suits you best. It will be easier to maintain a consistent exercise program that will help you achieve your fitness goals.

Relievestress?Prepareforthespringracingschedule?Knowingwhatyourgoals are will help you develop a more successful exercise program. If possible, try to define your personal goals in precise, measurable terms over specific periods of time. Examples of these goals might include: •Decreaseyourwaistlinebytwoinchesoverthenexttwomonths. •Runthelocal5Kracethissummer. •Get30minutesofcardiovascularexerciseatleastfivedaysperweek. •Improveyourracetimebytwominutesoverthenextyear. •Movefromwalkingamiletojoggingamilewithinthenextthreemonths.The more specific the goal, the easier it will be to track your progress. If your goals are long-term, divide them into monthly and weekly segments. Long-term goals can lose some of the motivational benefits. Short-termgoals are easier to achieve and will allow you to see the progress you are making. Every time you reach a goal, it is important to set a new goal. This will lead to a healthier lifestyle and will provide the motivation that you will need to move forward.

TRACK YOUR PROGRESSNow that you have set your exercise goals, it is time to write them down and make an exercise schedule that will help you achieve them.
