LOL Mianevem . There were days during Vitality when my mother declared, "We don't need to take any rests." Usually I overrode her on the grounds that I needed the breaks. We have only been taking one minute breaks, and sometimes even only 30 seconds for Vitality. But I feel the shoulder work in these programs and do actually need a break to make it through seven sets. My mother does not feel the shoulder work as quickly as I do, because she has much less range of motion in her shoulders. She cannot do the arm circles or chest expansions, for instance, with her arms fully horizontal. But when she gets tired, she starts cheating the exercises and doing them with even less than her full ROM. So I've been insisting on breaks in an effort to get her to use her full ROM throughout.
In the beginning we were just working from a PDF. But my mother would gripe after a couple of sets. "Another set?! How many sets are we doing? Seven! That's a lot!" So I switched to using the interactive pages so she can see the seven set protocol is not just something I'm making up. My mother really likes seeing those little set count boxes turn red after each set we complete. As soon as I started using them, she stopped questioning the number of sets. She has now completed every day of two programs on Level III.
