"This
is an excellent book for anyone wanting to improve their fitness
levels from athletes to those, like me, looking to reverse the
ageing process. The preamble gives an excellent guide to how hormones
are so important to how we feel and perform and can be used as
a building block for improving fitness and energy levels. These
simple explanations are backed by scientific studies and in turn
this knowledge is used by Campbell to construct a comprehensive
programme designed to stimulate the generation of Human Growth
Hormone by a series of exercises. The book is readable and the
exercises and tips are designed to provide you with maximum benefits
whilst also being a source of encouragement.
Forget the diet books and buy this if you want to get improved
results from understanding what is happening to your body.
This is an American author so the understanding on hormones etc
is way ahead of us here in the UK but it is well explained and
easily understood.
No doubt the video / CD will follow in due course." -

"I
first read about your program in Outside magazine. I had been
running, but hadn't had any of the benefits I expected from running.
My tone wasn't improving, my weight stayed the same. When I read
the Outside article, I immediately checked the book out from the
library to learn more, then bought my own copy. I can tell a big
difference in my energy and in my engagement with life, in addition
to better muscle tone, endurance, speed, and weight loss. Thanks
for your wonderful plan." - Karen Minton **(Results may

have
to tell you that Sprint 8 has been GREAT for me. I bought a Vision
Fitness recumbent and have been using it religiously since then.
Sprint 8 is now a part of my lifestyle. I do Sprints 8 every other

am leaner than I've been in a while, have more energy, and just
feel better in general. THANK YOU so much!!!!

"I
had
an injury that sidelined me for a month. Although I was in good
shape before, I gained a little weight and lost a lot of muscle
tone during that time. When I was able to get back to the gym,
I was running 7 to 10 miles a day and eating an absolutely perfect
diet. Despite all my efforts, I couldn't seem to make any progress
with getting back to my original size and weight. It was very
frustrating for me since I was working so hard to do everything
right. What was once easy for me was now very difficult and I
could empathize with my clients who have trouble losing weight.
After reading your book, I immediately put your advice into practice
with amazing results. After only 8 times of doing the sprint
8 workout (over a 2 week period) I discovered that I had lost
10 1/2 inches overall and dropped about 7 pounds. I know it probably
sounds hard for some people to believe. I wouldn't believe it
myself if it hadn't happened to me. But now I'm back in my size
3's and 4's and feeling terrific.
But even more than that, I have more energy and endurance than
I could imagine. Before Sprint 8, I was running 8 to 10 minute
miles. I'm now comfortably running 6 minute miles! I even ran
a 5 minute 13 second mile yesterday at the end of my workout!!!I'm
so impressed with the results that I'm now recommending your book
and program to all my clients. This program really works and it
works fast!

The Sprint 8 workouts are extremely efficient and beneficial to
any athlete. They supplement my training and helped me get in
the best shape of my life. I highly recommend Sprint 8 to anyone
who wants to look and feel younger. The best part about it is
the workouts are so efficient. You dont have to spend hours
in the gym. You just have to challenge yourself to get faster.

"If you ever need a testimonial from a guy who had engaged
in a corporate culture of eat, drink, smoke and no exercise for
years. Someone who smoked cigarettes long enough that he couldn't
shower without coughing and who couldn't run 100 yards without
panting and heaving, here's mine.
I quit smoking in 2000 by substituting fitness and nutrition for
smoking. Initially when the anxiety due to not having a cigarette,
I either went for a walk or lifted weights. Later my son recommended
your book, "Ready, Set, Go" and I began incorporating
the routines. I began the "Sprint 8" routine and
noticed an increase in energy and fitness. I then began researching
the area and found a lot of research to support the "Sprint
8" routine. I am a believer in short burst of intense physical
exercise as a key element in fitness training. My VO 2 max, fitness
level, and speed has increased due to Sprint 8's. I'm healthy
at a level that I would not have believed 6 years ago.
I have won a 5k, a few state medals and many regional medals and
was the " Senior Athlete of the Year" (2006) in the
South Central Region( whatever that means). I am not an elite
athlete, nor is winning the key thing for me. The competitions,
medals etc. are only fun motivators for me. The real benefit is
health, fitness, attitude and meeting many wonderful people. I
do hope to be at the next Senior Olympic Nationals.
I do plan to do a 500 mile hike across Spain this fall, and I
plan to add cycling to my repertoire." - Ed Campbell**(Results

HDL (good) had a slight rise of 2 mg/dl and the Triglycerides
had a slight decrease from 108 mg/dl to 103 mg/dl. This was by

high at 415, and as diabetic my A-1-C was 7.4. My doctor doubled
my medication and informed me that my diabetes was affecting my
kidneys. So I read Ready, Set, GO! Synergy Fitness and
started the Sprint 8. After 4 months on your program, my cholesterol
dropped to a normal rate of 141, triglycerides dropped to 276
(a 139 point drop and still dropping), and my A-1-C dropped to

Digest Review
Ready,
Set, Go! Synergy Fitness for Time-Crunched Adults is a great title.
In this day, most adults fall into the time-crunched
category and are concerned with staying fit within their time
limitations. I was hooked by the cover!
Phil Campbells experience in the area of fitness is apparent.
He has a tremendous amount of knowledge about the body and the
effects of exercise on the body. His plan is outlined simply and
reinforced by charts and tables. The exercises and weight training
skills he suggests for the reader are outlined and illustrated
with photographs. He uses models of all ages and fitness levels,
which is an encouragement to the beginning fitness seeker. At
the end of the book is a workbook section, allowing the reader
the opportunity to put the plan into action with a minimum of
thought. He or she can easily keep up with progress by using these
charted pages.
The information is divided into small chunks, which help with
understanding the relationship of the exercise to the bodys
metabolism. **(Results

Letter from Harvey Fischer,
Age
50
I
was getting ready to turn 50, and I was not in good
shape. I didnt have energy to exercise. I felt
bad, and I was overweight. I tried numerous fitness
programs that were big on promises, but none worked.
Then
I read Ready, Set, Go! Synergy Fitness by Phil Campbell
and it made sense, and I knew this program would get
results.
I
made the Eight Week Commitment, exactly one year ago.
For the Sprint 8 Workout, I could only walk initially
and did the weight training at the local YMCA.
|
ONE
YEAR LATER - I feel better at 50 than I did at 40. My progress
with the Ready, Set, GO plan has been beyond my wildest imagination!
Not
only have I lost weight, I have been able to enter several masters
competitions that you recommend. Ive completed six 5K
runs, five triathlons. I finished 1st in my age group in the
1 mile run and 2nd in the 800 in a Masters Track & Field
event.
Ready,
Set, Go! has been my guide to better health and it has help me
to become an athlete again. The Sprint 8 Workout and interval
training workouts in the book have not only helped in running,
but in the other areas as well.
I
do the Sprint 8 Workout with swimming and biking and it has been
the biggest factor improving my triathlon times. My PR (Personal
Record) for the sprint is 1:09 at Wet Dog Triathlon. My next goal
is to compete with my son John, age 16, in the Gulf Coast Half
Ironman in May.
Thank
you for putting all the information in one book. Most of all,
thank you for helping me get my health back. I recommend this
book to everyone. Sincerely,
Harvey

From retired chiropractor
"Simple
thanks are just not enough to explain how I feel about my signed
copy of your book. As
a retired Chiropractor, due partly to loss of physical function
and inability to perform my job without pain, the topics hit home
with a blistering realism.
I have not been able to even walk enough to get to an even minor
aerobic workout for years. I have awakened during the night before,
worried and knowing that physically my health was deteriorating.
Weight
gain issues and uncontrolled hypertension were waging war on my
system internally and externally. I have gotten out of bed, put
on my workout clothes, made a proclamation that I was going to
walk regardless of the pain.
As
devout as my convictions were, I physically failed miserably and
could not even walk 50 yards without sever back and leg pain.
Surgical options, due to the severity of my diagnosis and the
failure rate of the procedure that I need, were not realistic
for me unless I became completely disabled and unable to ambulate.
I
started the program, and in addition to altering my diet, I have
virtually eliminating refined sugar, and I have tiptoed into your
program over the last 3 weeks. I
am truly amazed at the results in such a short period of time
and I have just barely scratched the surface.
While
my level of improvement doesnt even begin to approximate
that of a modestly fit individual, it is miraculous when compared
to my beginnings. I have lost about 15 lbs. My joint pain has
virtually been eliminated except for some occasional hip and leg
pain that occurs when I stand in one spot for a protracted period
of time (generally a sign of spinal stenosis). My energy level
has skyrocketed; my resting pulse rate has slowed 20%. I just
feel better physically and mentally. - Wayne Key **(Results
