And i wouldn’t disagree with you at all Marianne…. I find that different people require a little longer.. My intermediate or advanced “students” stick to the 3 times effort / rest formula…. Perhaps it’s just me being “Tough” on them…. He he he…. Thanks again, i’ll stay tuned…. great sessions….

Thanks Gary! Funny, I recently discovered that intervals are better adapted by changing the rest period, however I would say to start with most folk would be the reverse the rest 3x longer than the effort. Or twice the length. Say a beginner is doing 20 seconds on, then they should have 40 secs rest (although 30 seconds can also be fine, depending on the pace).

I guess as long as you are actually recovering, that’s all that matters 🙂 Thanks!

Marianne, thanks for your insights to kettlebells…. “LOVE EM”…. I have just started to use them in my boxing training for those i coach…. i think the idea of the interval times is that your “effort/work” should be 3 times the recovery. The benefit of intervals is derived from the recovery…. It seems to work for those i train. I hope that answers Wasim’s question…. Fanx again….

Haha! I love them too!! Great enthusiasm!!

I second this, I too would love to see a workout DVD done by you. Starting from beginner and then progressing. Thanks for all you do!!
