exercise has been developed from research conducted in the Medical Faculty at
the University of

has shown that a 20 minute workout consisting of 8 seconds of sprint exercise,
followed by 12 seconds of relative recovery resulted in more fat loss than 40
minutes of steady state exercise.
The Music &
Motion Studio, with Getsmart Fitness Master Trainer Lynne Colston, have got
together to develop a training program on behalf of the University of NSW for
fitness instructors, Personal Trainers and Group Exercise instructors.
The program
includes a range of equipment for use in group exercise programs or one on one
training sessions. You will learn how to use it in a circuit
type arena as well as discover its suitability for the gym floor. It
includes the use of cycle, boxing, skipping and other equipment easily found in
most fitness centres.
This
3 hour training in the Lifesprints program gives instructors, personal trainers
and gym staff the tools to train their clients or offer new group exercise
classes in the 8 second sprint 12 second rest format. Researchers from
the University of
NSW developed this
program and it has been hugely successful for weight loss. This program
was promoted on both current affairs and radio shows throughout 2007 and more
recently in Good Health Magazine as well as a new book called The 8 Second
Secret written by Dr Gail Trapp released March 2010.
