I agree on the chocolate. Chocolate is not satisfying and makes me want more chocolate. Not pretty.

If the 30s rest is too long, then the weight is too heavy. You have three exercises in the circuit, so you have 1:30 of pure rest in between, plus those muscles are "resting" while you do the other lifts. Lower the weight.

I thought the intervals looked easy, but they are pretty hard. You are doing 18 intervals the first time, too. Around #10, you are pretty much dying at the end of the high intensity part.

Again. No chocolate. Cheese or nuts for me.
