(60-84% VO2 peak) 		Very Hard
(>85% VO2 peak)
1-3 20% (6 min) 60% (18 min) 20% (6 min) 0%

  1. Percent time spent at a given exercise training intensity (% peak VO2) for exercise group (approximate minutes at each intensity are in parenthesis). Values expressed in the table are a percentage of the total workout time (e.g., 10 min of a 30 minute workout = 33%). Total exercise time begins at 30 minutes and increases by 5 minutes every two weeks until 40 minutes is achieved while supervised.
