I get asked that quite a bit. I change up my workouts often; one time strength training or bootcamp stuff, next time plyometrics, other time martial arts and so on — I like to keep my body guessing and moving in many directions. This way, it is always challenged. When it's challenged, it won't get lazy, it responds with results. So to answer the question simply, let's refer to my cardio interval and strength training days... I keep it short, move fast, breathe hard, lift heavy and take very little breaks — all the while maintaining good form. If the weights start to feel too heavy to bear, but I want to keep moving, I switch weights as I go. If I'm out of breath, I slow down — sometimes, way down... but I try not to stop, I keep moving. If I need a break, I keep them short (10-15 seconds at a time), catch my breath and continue. I don't beat myself up if I need to take many rounds of short breaks in order to continue. Taking short breaks gives your body a chance to catch up so you can continue to perform well and prevent injuries. So take the breaks, and soon you'll find yourself taking less and less breaks as your body becomes more and more conditioned and empowered! Here's a quick glimpse of my workout at the gym today.
