SPRINT-8 ANTI-AGING INTERVALS

 

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.

 

HGH cuts body fat and trims inches. Researchers show that HGH can be increased by as much as 530 percent through sprinting activities. Anaerobic sprint workouts can be done in many different ways -- running, swimming, cycling, cross-country skiing, even power walking.

The basic workout is the Sprint 8 Workout, which is performed by running 8 intense sprints for approximately 70 yards, then cooldown 1.5 minutes.  I typically make this easier by simply adding (8) 30-second sprints mid-workout.  READ THE ENTIRE WORKOUT HERE.
