LifeSprints Music(the 8-second exercise program designed specifically for fat loss)LifeSprints exercise has been developed from research conducted in the Medical Faculty at the University of New South Wales. This research 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. Subjects showed significant decreases in fasting insulin and also increased leg and abdomen muscle mass. In contrast, steady state exercise only produced a mild decrease in insulin and no change in fat (Trapp et al., 2008). Why brief sprinting for 20 minutes has such an impact on fat loss and insulin resistance is not known but the effect is likely to be due to the unique effects of LifeSprints on fast twitch skeletal muscle fibres (Trapp et al. 2007). This form of exercise gives a more complete muscle fibre workout and the brief 20 minute sprint session makes it easier to fit into busy, modern lifestyles. LifeSprints music has been developed by the researchers who have published the studies below. The music provides timing for LifeSprints and is invigorating and adds interest to the exercise session. The music includes both 8/12 and 12/18 second music tracks and an instructional booklet. All tracks for LifeSprints Music have been composed by Stewart,J/Garden,Ben - Control. Music is available for purchase and download for $30. This includes a 20 min workout, a 30 min workout and guideline booklet. To purchase a copy and download the music and booklet please click here.
