Resting longer than vids allow?

[fitnutty]

Hi all!

Just was curious about the effects of taking longer rests than Cathe allows in her videos. For example, in PS-Legs - is there any negative to resting at different points (maybe 2 or 3) for say 30 secs-1 min longer?

I was thinking that there may be more of a negative result if the purpose of the workout is endurance vs. strength? Any comments? TIA

No! I see nothing wrong with a little longer rests. These are not what you would call "light" workouts, so a long rest is OK. Maybe a minute max.

I hope it's okay...sometimes I'll go fold a whole load of laundry to stall before doing sit-n-stands. I have noticed that a really long rest, like 5 minutes, is probably too much because then the next exercise is a little too easy, whereas with a shorter rest it's tough and probably giving me more benefit.
