Rest (for timed workouts)
Optimize your intra-workout recovery to maintain high-intensity performance throughout your entire circuit.
How to perform.
Follow the sequence — setup is half the lift.
Cease all movement immediately once the active work interval concludes.
Stand upright or sit with an open posture to allow for maximum lung expansion.
Inhale deeply through the nose and exhale slowly through the mouth to lower your heart rate.
Refrain from checking your phone or shifting focus to maintain mental readiness for the next set.
Prepare your equipment and body position five seconds before the rest interval expires.
Initiate the next movement phase the moment the timer signals the start of the work period.
Common mistakes.
Fix these first — they cost reps, kilos, and joints.
- Collapsing or sitting doubled over, which restricts efficient oxygen intake.
- Extending the rest duration beyond the prescribed time limit.
- Passive scrolling on electronic devices that breaks psychological focus.
Muscles worked.
The primary movers do the work; the stabilizers keep the path honest.
