Comments on: “Caveman” Dr. Sears Reveals The Secret To His PACE 12 Minute Fitness Revolution http://www.athomeworkoutsource.com/dr-al-sears-pace/the-secret-to-dr-sears-pace-12-minute-fitness-revolution/ Your Complete Guide To A World Class Workout At Home Mon, 16 Jan 2012 04:37:12 +0000 hourly 1 By: Paul http://www.athomeworkoutsource.com/dr-al-sears-pace/the-secret-to-dr-sears-pace-12-minute-fitness-revolution/comment-page-1/#comment-264 Paul Fri, 27 Aug 2010 13:36:36 +0000 http://www.athomeworkoutsource.com/?p=1791#comment-264 Rochelle , I am so happy to hear that you are doing the PACE program. Sorry it took so long for me to respond...great questions. According to Dr. Sears it is your choice as to how many days that you work out. But on page 261 in his book Pace The 12 Minute Fitness Revolution he recommends starting PACE three times a week. On page 262 he explains what you can do on the in between days . He says to add intensity with time and to change your routine every 4-6 weeks. As for your second queston...Dr. Sears has a 12 minute program outlined in Chapter Six of his book PACE The 12 Minute Fitness Revolution. My understanding is that Dr. Sears says that your total exertion time should not add up to more than 20 minutes. The length of the workout also depends on how hard it is to perform. For example the total time for the jump rope workout is just 10 minutes because it is so challenging. So it is actually okay to add sets to your workout so long as exertion time does not exceed 20 minutes. He explains that once your body exerts itself for more than 20 minutes your body begins to burn fat "during execise" . According to Sears this is not good because it tells your body to store fat. Ideally you want to burn calories for hours "after" exercise. I hope that I answered your questions. Good luck with your PACE workout. Paul Rochelle ,

I just started the PACE workout 8 days ago. I am in pretty good shape but want to loose some excess fat. First Question: How many days/week should I be doing the PACE workout? (I had been working out with longer cardio sessions approx 2-3 days/week and I teach yoga 2 days/week.) Second Question: how do I get to 12 minutes within 20 minutes? If I alternate 1 minute bursts with 1 minute recovery periods, it will take me 24 minutes to have 12-1 minute bursts??? Thank you so much--love the program so far! Rochelle Bartholomew Hi,
