Vision Fitness has teamed up with Phil Campbell, author of "Ready, Set, Go! Synergy Fitness," to develop an anaerobic SPRINT 8 program found exclusively on Vision Fitness® cardio products. All you have to do is push a button to experience proven results. Here are some SPRINT 8 highlights:

• Each workout takes only 20 minutes!
• Effective for all ages and fitness levels
• Naturally releases growth hormone (your "fitness" hormone)
• Cuts body fat and tones muscle
• Reduces wrinkles
• Boosts energy
• Improves speed and performance

If you are over 30, you are likely experiencing somatopause!

Somatopause is the medical term for the weight gain, loss of muscle, energy decline and wrinkled skin you experience when you hit middle age. To combat somatopause, medical researchers say people must incorporate anaerobic exercise into their weekly fitness routine. Anaerobic exercise programs, such as SPRINT 8, help you release your fitness hormone.

Brief description of the Vision Fitness® SPRINT 8 program:

The SPRINT 8 program consists of four minutes of sprint intervals* - broken out into eight, quick 30-second segments - and 16 minutes of "active rest." The program includes the following phases:

1. The warm-up period gradually increases your heart rate, respiration and the blood flow to working muscles. The warm-up is controlled by the user to meet their specific needs.

2. Interval training starts immediately after the warm-up with a 30-second sprint interval. Seven recovery intervals of one minute and 30 seconds will alternate with the eight 30-second sprint intervals. On our bikes and ellipticals, the scrolling message display on the console will prompt you to increase your pedal rate (rpm) during the sprint interval and decrease pedal rate (rpm) during the recovery interval. It is recommended that your rpm during the sprints on our bikes be 30 to 50 higher than your rpm during the recovery intervals (sprints should be 20 to 40 rpm higher on ellipticals). Our treadmills will notify you when the speed and elevation will automatically change (increase or decrease) based on the level you’ve selected.

3. The cool-down period helps return your body’s systems to resting levels. Less demand is placed on your heart during recovery if an appropriate cool-down takes place following the exercise.

Because this is a specialized training program, total workout time is not displayed during the program. Instead, the interval time is displayed in the time window. It takes only 20 minutes to complete the SPRINT 8 program!

Smooth

What really makes our bikes stand out is the smooth ride they offer. Our fitness bikes provide years of maintenance-free performance without jarring or jerking. We pioneered the friction-free magnetic resistance system with no wearing parts for maximum performance and durability. Combine this system with our optimally-weighted flywheel, and you get the smoothest resistance mechanism available. When the resistance level is changed on the console (even in the middle of a workout), the transitions are smooth, gradual, and fluid.

With Vision Fitness’s emphasis on a smooth and quiet drive system, the internal components need to be top-of-the-line in quality and performance. We specify premium sealed roller bearings to ensure this quality. With up to eight sets of roller bearings on some of our products, the cost to specify high-end, name-brand bearings can be significant compared to the off-the-shelf bearings used by our competitors. Vision Fitness will not cut corners, which is why we are the leader in the fitness bike industry. Additionally, high-end bicycle manufacturers have been using three-piece cranks for years. Vision Fitness was among the first to transfer this technology to the fitness industry. Three-piece cranks are more durable, provide a smoother feel, and can be found on all Vision Fitness® bikes.

Quiet

Many people read a magazine or watch television while working out on a piece of home fitness equipment. Additionally, they may work out in the early morning or late evening and do not want to disturb others. Vision Fitness is aware of this and, therefore, developed our Quiet-Glide™ drive technology, which utilizes a multi-ribbed supersilent Poly-V belt, to ensure an extra-quiet workout. The large eight-ribbed Poly-V belts on our 200 Series bikes give our products a competitive advantage. The larger surface area puts less tension on the belt, which results in a longer lifespan of not only the belt but the entire drive system. Computer modelling on this drive system shows the expected life to exceed 20,000 hours—that’s over 50 years of life when used one hour a day!

International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certification is attained by implementing and demonstrating the consistent manufacturing procedures that are necessary to produce a top quality product. All Vision Fitness® bikes are produced in plants that are ISO-certified*. Because we are so confident in the quality of our products, our bikes come with an amazing Lifetime home-use warranty on their frames and magnetic brakes/generator systems. The parts and electronics warranty is three years on the R2050 and 200 Series products.

Comfortable

A bike’s seat is your primary contact point and, because of this, Vision Fitness has always set comfort of the seat as a top priority. Our Comfort Arc™ seats, with body-contoured foam and free range of motion, will have you smiling for miles. They are designed to fit the majority of the population and are considered the most comfortable in the fitness industry. Our upright seats have a cutout in the nose to reduce pressure on soft tissue areas. Our semi-recumbent seats offer lumbar support, and the seat bottoms include two sets of mounting holes so the seat can be adjusted to the perfect position for you.

The 2250 offers a breathable mesh reclining seatback, which has a 15-degree range of motion for added comfort. Both of our step-thru semi-recumbent bikes (models R2050 and R2250) were designed for easy access. The step-thru feature is ideal for those lacking the balance or flexibility to use traditional semi-recumbent bikes.
