Couple of silly Q's

becca2911

Starting stage 1 on Monday and a few things are still unclear:


1) Lunges, step ups and the like - would I do a) 15 reps on each leg (ie 30 reps per set) b) set one on right leg, set two on left left or c) alternate and make up numbers on second set

2) Resting time - resting time is 60 seconds. In my gym some of the equipment is in different rooms and also what if someone else is using that equipment? How important is it to ONLY rest for 60 seconds?

Q1: answer a)
Q2: do your best to keep your rest time as close to 60 sec as you can but don't stress about it too much.

I workout at home and my kids always interfere with my rest periods, sometimes I need a little more or less, just depending on the exercise or the day. I try to aim for what he says, but I don't think it's a big deal if it's not exact, it hasn't been for me anyway.

Step-ups - for each set you'd do 15 reps on your right leg followed by 15 reps on left = 30 reps total per set
Lunges - for each set you'd alternate: left, right, left, right (the book says to start on non-dominant leg) for a total of 30 (15 per leg)

Rest - I wouldn't stress about it much. I know I don't.

15 reps on each side, for a total of 30 per set.

I never timed my rest periods. For the most part, I rest until I'm mostly recovered. For Stage 7, which specifies shorter rest periods and is a different beast altogether than the rest of the stages, I did stick to the 30 second rests.

In the latest book, Supercharged, there are no specified rest periods. It suggests that you rest until you're recovered.
