The final question for the turbulence training manual questions was this:
3) Craig Ballantyne insists on a 1 minute rest between the supersets. As performance increases, and to increase the intensity of the workout, can these rest times be reduced to, say, 45 or 30 seconds?
It’s important that you follow the program as designed by the fitness expert. Whether that is a fat loss manual or a body building and muscle gaining program.
There is usually a reason he has given you that rest period and you would do best to stick to that.
Don’t mess with what we know already delivers results.
The only time I would recommend changing what is written originally is if you had completed the 8 weeks training and did not have any other equipment to use or access to a new program.
So dropping the rest down to 45 seconds for 8 weeks and then 30 seconds would make it a 24 week fitness program.
As I said if that’s all you can do then so be it, the best case would be to change your program completely, you’ll get more gains with the constant changing every 4 weeks (known in weight training as periodization) than you will with staying in the same program and just changing the rest.
