> Many circuits call for short rests-usually 30 to 60 seconds-to keep your heart rate high enough to produce a cardio benefit (read: calorie burn). But ifyou're really struggling after a tough set, tack on an extra 30 seconds of rest, says Rebecca Stephenson, a board-certified women's health specialist in physical therapy at Harvard's Brigham and Women's Hospital.
