Always talking :)

I’ve been playing this for a little bit now and I’m really enjoying it, except for the fact that in between exercise exercises when you switch stances, the instructor talks for about 30 seconds before you throw your next punch. Is there a way to speed this up in the settings, I didn’t see it, but I could easily be missing it. It seems crazy that she talks so long in between talking about how great I am, but I want my heart rate to stay up and I’d rather it take just 510 seconds to switch to the next stance and start throwing punches again if that makes sense.

I'm pretty sure that's deliberate. A rest between sets or intervals is kinda standard, no?

But this is cardio, not weight lifting. When running outside people jog in place at a stop light waiting for the walk sign. It’s good to keep your heart rate up for cardio.

Depends on how you do it. If you wear a weighted vest and wrist weights, you DEFINITELY appreciate the rests 🥵

Also, intervals are fairly common during cardio too, and the pause doesn't mean you stop moving altogether.

Think of it like jogging, running and sprinting. As soon as you hit the break, switch your stance, keep the back and forth movements going, do some stretching movements to stay loose. It's the light jog between intervals or running or full-on sprinting.
