The 4 Minute Workout

Less than a year ago, it heard about the Peak 8 workout while searching for workout tips at Mercola.com.  What I found literally blew my mind because it was the same workout type of workout that I did while playing high school sports.  All the peak 8 or sometimes called the sprint 8 is intervals.  We did interval training in cross-country, track, basketball, wrestling, and hockey.

Intervals hurt like hell and got us into shape fast.  We had a love hate relationship with this workout.  Take a look at the links below to learn more about the Peak 8.

My favorite heart rate chronograph watch is the Timex Iron Man. It stays on my person almost 24-7.


When I do run my sprints in the grass, I either run barefoot or in Merrell Trail Gloves.  Barefoot is the way to go if you have an even surface without holes, debris, etc to hurt you.

A good heart rate monitor helps you run up to your target heart rate.  I have no problem getting my heart rate up when doing the Peak 8.
