Love it – what about rest between the cardio rounds so they’re not just doing the move for 2:15 straight?
Ah, the format goes exercise 1, 2, 3, cardio move, 1, 2, 3, cardio move, 1, 2, 3, cardio move. So they don’t do all 3 rounds of the cardio move in one go, it get’s broken up with the strength exercises.
Love this workout! I used S3 to incorporate both muscle groups S1 & S2 in the combo move to keep those muscle groups working to fatigue…and if I could also in the cardio move! Great format. Can’t wait to teach it and participate tonight. I am going to try getting 5 different sets in (not in stations but in a flowing class).
