Women Can Drop Body Fat Quickly & Look Younger Naturally

Posted on: Thursday, 20 January 2005, 15:00 CST

"New research shows that the most effective form of exercise for adults of all ages is fast, short, and intense types of anaerobic exercise. Anaerobic exercise, unlike steady-paced aerobic exercise, allows us to naturally unleash the most powerful body-fat-cutting, muscle-toning, anti-aging substance known to science--growth hormone," says Phil Campbell, 52-year-old author of Ready, Set, Go! Synergy Fitness. "If your favorite form of exercise (cycling, power walking, swimming, etc.) can get you winded quickly, it is a form of anaerobic exercise and can help you reach the growth hormone release benchmarks necessary to drop body fat quickly."

Research shows that women actually get a slightly better growth hormone response from high-intensity exercise than men. That means that women can better fight somatopause--the weight gain, energy decline, and muscle loss experienced in middle age--by adding anaerobic exercise to their workout routine.

Long and slow forms of cardio, such as walking, are great ways for an inactive person to begin. But, it is only a starting point that must lead to moderate-intensity exercise, which, in turn, leads to high-intensity anaerobic exercise. A recent study shows that low-intensity walking does nothing to prevent death from heart disease. Only the highest levels of exercise intensity lowered death rates.

To make it easy for today's busy woman to fit an effective anaerobic workout into her schedule, Vision Fitness, a top fitness equipment company in North America, with the help of Phil Campbell, has added a SPRINT 8 anaerobic program to their new 200 and 600 Series fitness bikes and elliptical trainers. Vision Fitness is the only fitness equipment company to offer an anaerobic workout program on their products.

SPRINT 8 is a quick, effective, 20-minute program that offers 16 intensity levels to give everyone from beginners to elite athletes an effective workout. Since the user controls the intensity, it is never more than they can handle. With the simple touch of a button, the program tells you when to increase your speed and when to rest, and it automatically adjusts resistance for you. The SPRINT 8 workout only needs to be done two or three days a week to see results.
