Thanks Mike. That does help. I'm still a little skeptical, only because I've never had much luck with exercise. I either can't stick with it or if I do stick with it, I don't get much result. I suppose I tone up some but I've never lost weight with exercise and I don't get the "feel good" feeling that some people do afterwards. Anyway, enough whining. Do you feel like it is doing anything for your lung capacity or your heart? I'm considering getting a rebounder and using it with PACE. I just don't want to be disappointed again and waste more money. Please keep me updated, even if you'd like to email me privately since this is OT. Thanks! Shelli

All he suggests is that you exercise up to a level that you can tell is slightly beyond your ability to sustain for a long period. If, after an exertion interval you are breathing heavily or panting, even a little bit, you've exceeded your aerobic intensity level and have created an oxygen debt that you must fill during the recovery period. That's all he requires. The intensity level is entirely subjective and based on your present fitness level. You learn to pace yourself to complete a one, two, or three minute exertion period, with shorter exertion intervals being more vigorous than longer ones. I suspect that he has simplified the PACE concept based on experience gained after the publication of the earlier book. The e-book is very clear and approachable. I hope that helps. I've been doing approximately every other day workouts to ease into the program, and am now ready to try doing them almost daily and see how I do. No big dramatic results yet, but I wouldn't expect anything after just a couple of weeks. I, too, find the short workouts very comfortable. Be well, Mike D.
