2. Check Workout Guidance
Start with 20-30 seconds of work time and 20-30 seconds of rest in-between exercises. Gradually reduce your rest time and increase your work time as your strength and fitness improves.
Alternatively, you may prefer to base your programme on repetitions rather than time.
You could start with 8-12 repetitions per exercise and work your way up to 15-25 once you feel fitter and stronger.
Choose a tube strength suitable for the exercise you are performing. Different exercises may require different tube strengths. You should feel muscle fatigue towards the end of the set.
