Is this a all day workout, or are they expecting straight sets?
The actual basic facts pertaining to cardio – prior to we discuss round how much aerobics cardio you need to do, you will need to at least know why it’s so important. Cardiovascular physical exercise basically signifies that you are included in an activity that raises your center rate to some degree where you’re operating, but can even now converse (aka, in your Target Center Rate Zone).
Question by CentralSet: Is this a all day workout, or are they expecting straight sets?
I am working on my OCS conditioning and this is a workout I found for it.

Repeat 5-10 times
- Pushups – 10-20

- Bench dips – 10-20
- Reverse Crunches – 20
- Pullups – max reps or pull-downs – 10

- Left crunches – 25
- Right crunches – 25
- Hip rollers – 10/side
- Stretch abs / lowerback
Cooldown walk or bike
5:00 / stretch
Wednesday
LONG Cardio Day
- 45-60 minutes of walking, running or combination of the two
- Or biking, swimming, elliptical gliding machines
The running/walking isn’t an issue but when it gets to like the Monday repeat 5-10 times. I run/walk/stadiumstep for 30 mins every day 7days a week, and I am not going to remove that from my regiment.
Are they expecting a straight 10 repeats of 20 pushups, 20 crunches, 20 dips, 20 rev. crunches, max pullups, max hanging knee ups and abs/lowerback streches?
W/ the 1.5 min wait between each set of that (not counting how long it actually takes to the do the exercise) you are looking at 1.5X10 (pushups) + 1.5×10 (crunches) + 1.5×10 (dips) + 1.5×10 (crunches rev) + 1.5×10 (pullups) + 1.5×10 (hanging knee ups) + 1.5x 10 (stretch).
That’s 1.75 hours of wait time between each set. another 1 min for each set gives you 1.16 hours + 30 min cardio + warm up stretch and other time between each set.
They are listing at least 3.5 hours or straight workout….
Am I looking at their schedule wrong or is that what they are expecting 5 days a week?
