Speed changes your hormones.

Recent research points to the body’s ability to produce human growth hormone (HGH) throught exercise – and while HGH doesn’t appear to directly improve strength or exercise capacity, it is very good at metabolizing fat.

Phil Campbell, MS, cites a 2005 study of University of Bath (England) researcher Keith Stokes, widely considered the foremost expert of HGH and exercise, that described how a series of 30-second sprints sharply increased HGH in the body while exercising – and also for roughly tow induced HGH is released, it will target body fat like a heat-seeking missile.

Campbell, author of Ready, Set, Go! Synergy Fitness for Time-Crunched Adults (Pristine Publisher, 2008), outlines four benchmarks he says are necessary for exercise to produce HGH a fat-blasting levels: 10 oxygen debt or feeling out of breath; 2) muscle burn (the sensation caused by lactic acid overload); 3) an increase in body temperature by at least one degree (characterized by moderate sweat); 4) adrenal response (feeling out of breath and “slightly” in pain).

This sprint-traning approach (which also can be performed on a stationary cycle) can be extremely challenging but the results can be dramatic: Campbell says his clients routinely report weight loss of up to 20 pounds in eight weeks.
