    1. This will depend on your fitness level.
      Beginner Level: 1 round
      Intermediate Level: 2 rounds
      Advanced Level: 3 rounds

  1. Why would beginner level take 7-10 minutes if you are doing 5 exercises for 1 minute each. Am I missing or reading incorrectly? Thanks

  2. Can this exercise routine be continued for more than a week? Like daily apart from ones weight training workout schedule??

    1. Del, Definitely! This routine can be performed daily for up to 6 weeks. At the end of the 6 weeks look for a new routine. Workouts should be switched up every 4-6 weeks.

    1. Stacy, That’s it! If you decide to rest at any point it will take longer than 7 minutes.
