So, My workouts usually last 25-30 minutes,is that normal?? It seems so quick and I should be doing more. I almost feel like going to run afterwards for another 30 minutes..

Is this about right, or should I be doing something else?

    Stage 1 was about 30 minutes for me, both A and B.

    Stage 2 is going over an hour.

    Stage 1 has short work outs. But that is it for the rest of the program-the following stages are usually close to an hour or more. If you do warm up and cool down, even longer. :)

    ...and if you are adding the intervals (i.e. HIIT) at the END of your work-outs (in later stages), the work-outs can be REALLY long.

    Enjoy Stage 1!! It never gets to be THAT SHORT of a work-out, again.

    Well now I'm thinking it takes me too long....I'm usually there about 45 - 60 min. I usually do a 10 min. warm-up on the treadmill and then I stretch in between sets for the 60 second rest. I do have to move equipment around a lot so maybe that's why.

    You're not the only one Rielyn, from warmup to cooldown takes me about 45 minutes with my friend.

    Oh wow - good to know that Stage 2 is going to take longer! I've got three workouts left in Stage 1, and it takes me like 45-50 minutes now - not including a warm up. Yikes!

    I have been super-setting in Stage 3 in order to finish in 75 minutes. Enjoy Stage 1 while it lasts!

    Good to know! I was worried that it was only taking me 25 to 30 minutes to do the Stage 1 workouts.
