Coach’s Notes:
Today’s workout is your first introduction to work/rest intervals. This is a tricky concept for many to wrap their head around. People are often confused about how resting helps to make the workout better. The answer goes like this: if we asked you to work as hard as possible for ten minutes of this particular set of movements, you would fatigue and eventually start moving slowly. By breaking the workout into digestible pieces, you are enticed to work very, very hard for a finite period of time, knowing that you’ll get a small bit of rest soon. In the end, the aggregate amount of work and intensity is higher with intervals than if we just went start to finish. Make the most of this workout by going as hard as you can during your “on” sections and really relaxing/catching your breath on the “off” sections.
