- Week #1 @30 sec/45 sec or 3 min/45 sec per cycle x 12 cycles = 45 minutes
- Week #2 @30 sec/30 sec or 3 min per cycle x 15 cycles = 45 minutes
- Week #3 @45 sec/60 sec or 5 min/15 sec per cycle x 8 cycles = 42 minutes
- Week #4 @45 sec/40 sec or 4 min/30 sec per cycle x 10 cycles = 45 minutes
- Week #5 @60 sec/60 sec or 6 min/cycle x 8 cycles =48 minutes
- Week #6 @60 sec/30 sec or 4 min/30 sec per cycle x 10 cycles = 45 minutes
