When I need a break during a workout video....should I pause the video and press play when I'm ready to go again or leave it running and work on making it the whole way through the video over time? Thanks!

    :laugh: Doesn't matter.

    I usually let them run/done faster.

    That's my idea, but I want to full workout so I'll get the max out of it. I'm so torn! lol

    It depends on the video. Sometimes I pause it, sometimes I don't. As long as I get a good workout, it doesn't really matter. I just know that when my CV improves over time, I won't even need to take as many breaks.

    Leave it running. Then work up to where you can do the whole workout without a break. Once you can do that, do the video for a week and move onto a new video.

    You'll feel more inspired and accomplished that way.

    I was going to say something similar. Not only that, but the first time you do a video and need a break, you can leave it running so you know what to expect. Then you can work your way towards getting through the next routine until you make it all the way through. Sometimes it's easier when you know what's coming.

    There is nothing at all wrong with taking a break. Best way to avoid injury is to find your limits and respect them.
