LIFESPRINTS
LifeSprints exercise has been developed from research conducted in the
Medical Faculty at the University of New South Wales. This research based on indoor cycling has
shown that a 20-minute workout consisting of 8 seconds of sprint
exercise, followed by 12 seconds of easy cycling, resulted in much more
fat loss than 40 minutes of steady state cycling (three times a week for
15 weeks).
LifeSprints also resulted in big increases in aerobic and anaerobic
fitness. We include Lifesprints in our interval classes not only on the bike, but also with boxing, skipping, using the step and much more. Heaps of fun and depending on how hard you want to work, it is an awesome workout. Click here to read more.
