Artfully
Known for an ‘artful’ approach to
architecture, Is land Architects – a boutique
design f i rm in the heart of downtown La Jol la
– has for near ly 20 years [with roots extending to
the ear ly 80s in the U.S. Vi rgin Is lands] advocated
good design – not only for i ts embrace of the
surrounding natural environment, but for the
inspirat ion afforded by the human exper ience of
dai ly l iv ing. As a s ingle disciple f i rm focusing on
s ingle-fami ly homes and custom estates, partners
Drexel Patterson and Tony Cr isaf i expose t imeless
design in terms of ‘quiet luxury’ and balance;
seeking always a strong relat ionship between the
design’s composit ion and overal l spatial f low.
According to Patterson, a 25-year industry
veteran with profess ional associat ion in the
American Inst i tute of Architects (AIA) s ince
1989 as wel l as the San Diego Histor ical Society
s ince 2000, design is about pass ion – dr iven by
inspirat ion f rom var ied form. And with a fami ly
t ree of portrait painters, craftsmen and art isans,
creativ i ty and an aff in i ty for al l th ings art was
DE
SIG
N
FINE sd . c o m L IFESTYLE | LUXURY | L IV ING 19

manifested s ince ear ly chi ldhood.
“I was very visual ly or iented as a chi ld,” notes
Patterson. “From an ear ly age I was conscious
of taking the world in, most intensely through
[my] eyes. Raised in Delaware, I [was intent]
on soaking up my surroundings, beauti ful
homes, the architecture and inter iors . My
parents refused to send me to art school. [But]
i t was my f i rst discovery of ‘Le Corbusier’ in
high school,” a Swiss architect, designer and
writer f rom the ear ly twentieth century famed
as a pioneer of “Modern Architecture” or
s imply the “International Sty le,” that inspired
a career in architecture.
From his studies in Rome and apprent iceship
with the King of Nepal’s architect, to his
portfol io beginnings on St. Thomas and St.
John, Patterson’s exper ience is t ru ly al l -
encompassing. In a recent interview with
F ine Magazine, Drex candidly discusses his
approach to design and overal l phi losophies
on sty le – an art form emitt ing both qual i ty,
and l i fe.
FINE Magazine: Who are your favor i te art ists/designers/architects you admire the most?
Drex: Favor i te art ists : Matisse (who could
take a dul l color such as grey, and translate
i t into something viv id and beauti ful) ,
Mi l ton Avery, Sargent watercolors & many
more. Designers: John Saladino. Architects:
Borromini , because he gave express ion to
both the straight l ine and the curve in the
most var ied and seductive ways; Pal ladio,
whose s impl icity and var iety of space and
mass is st i l l f resh after 600 years.
FINE Magazine: What is your design phi losophy?
Drex: Design of personal space is essent ial ly
about f low, scale, proport ion, enclosure/
openness, l ight, balance, var iety, surpr ise
and spatial relat ionships which al low for
our natural human qual i t ies (which act
in opposing ways) to express themselves
optimal ly. What does this mean? A space
which al lows you to rest and restore your
FINE sd . c o m L IFESTYLE | LUXURY | L IV ING 21
energy when spent, where you can f ind a
sense of calm and renewal and one in which
your energy is sustained and inspired at the
same t ime. Balance is the key element in
organiz ing the spatial exper ience.
FINE Magazine: What is your favor i tedesign sty le?
Drex: Understated and s l ight ly ambiguous
when evoking a tradit ional sty le ( leave
something for the imagination). Both
tradit ional and contemporary sty les have
class ic t imeless elements to them. Aim for
that.
FINE Magazine: When designing homes, what detai ls do you look for? What stands out the most? What’s the most important to you?
Drex: The sequence of events exper ienced
as one f lows through a home; s impl icity of
space with attent ion to detai l ; cont inuity;
surpr ise of the unexpected without being
contr ived; subt lety; detai ls which won’t wear
out in t ime or with shi ft ing trends; and, most
important ly, not pul l ing out al l the stops r ight
at the front door.
FINE Magazine: What has been your favor i te project to-date?
Drex: Our homes are l ike chi ldren, they come
from the same family, yet they are al l indiv id-
uals with dif ferent character ist ics. And, we
never play favor i tes with our chi ldren.
FINE Magazine: How do you achieve seamless f low in a space (both for outdoors and inter iors)?
Drex: Scale is perceived dif ferent ly indoors
f rom outdoors; outdoor scale is a lot bigger
than indoor scale. The quest ion is how does
one fuzz the l ine between the indoors and
outdoors for that seamless effect? Windows
and doors can have a lot to do with this , and
remember you start gett ing a feel for how
wel l th is i s done from further away (towards
the entry of the room versus up against the
22 L IFESTYLE | LUXURY | L IV ING FINE sd . c o m
outdoor wal l) . We use metal windows a lot,
especial ly for v iew windows. The break-ups
are thin and al low the eye to see far past
them without inter fer ing with the view,
especial ly f rom across the room. S ingle l i te
French doors stacked up one after the other
absolutely destroy a beauti ful v iew. When
a window wal l opens up very wide, with bi-
folding or pocketing doors, something needs
to extend outs ide, l ike a roof overhang to
ease the transit ion f rom indoors to outs ide,
otherwise the transit ion can be too abrupt.
Seamless f low has a lot more to do than just
with indoor/outdoor f low. One f lows f rom the
street to the front door and from the foyer to
a receiving room before f inding their way to
the outdoors and the view beyond. F low has
to do with the subtle changes that happen
between al l these spaces. I say, look for
var iety without being jarr ing. Al low spaces
to contract and expand with their di f ferent
functions and s izes. Break up endless ly long
hal lways with intermediate spaces, or use
a sequence of rooms to traverse through
versus a bor ing hal l . Hal ls aren’t necessar i ly
to be avoided, but think about what you wi l l
focus on at the end of i t , and hopeful ly i t
i sn’t a door.
FINE Magazine: What is your inspirat ion for
a project?
Drex: Three things: The cl ient’s dream/vis ion;
the s i te i tsel f , consider ing al l i ts parameters
and potent ial ; [as wel l as] our own creative
vis ion and abi l i ty to art iculate that of the
owners.
FINE Magazine: Between you, Tony and
your team, how do you col laborate on your
projects?
Drex: We have a partner’s table. [And]
i t ’s quite unique. [Tony and I] have our
dif ferences, [but] we’ve learned that
there are an inf in i te number of opt ions [ in
design]; keeping an open mind helps lead
us to [the best one]. We don’t take ourselves
too ser ious ly, [nor] do we get marr ied to an
idea too fast. We can look at each other’s
handiwork, seeing both the f laws and the
FINE sd . c o m L IFESTYLE | LUXURY | L IV ING 23
per fect ion – we can play with the design, [taking
from it] the best qual i t ies [posed. Overal l ] , our
work has improved through this very process.
FINE Magazine: Can you descr ibe your involvement with local community planning groups?
Drex: Highly involved. Tony has sat on
community planning boards for a decade and
our f i rm phi losophy is to be involved in the
community. Architecture gives physical shape
to a community, one bui lding at a t ime – as
architecture is a def ining tenant of civ i l i zat ion
i tsel f (maybe that’s where al l the ego comes
f rom). Our work is s ingle fami ly res ident ial , yet
we engage ful ly with community, neighbors,
and governing author i t ies, with the att i tude that
we can help them attain successful solut ions
to discret ionary issues by present ing mult iple
options. We [also] encourage involvement
among our staff, personally and professionally. u

Ferruccio Lamborghini founded the I tal ian
company in 1963 with the intent ion of producing
a ref ined grand tour ing motorcar. A successful
manufactur ing magnate, Lamborghini was
motivated to create the per fect model that he
felt no one could bui ld for him. He bel ieved

f ind in other high per formance Ital ian and
European brands. He wanted to bui ld a high
per formance car without compromis ing power,
per formance, r ide qual i ty and inter ior design.
In 1966, Lamborghini gained wide acclaim for
the Miura sports coupe. Miura establ ished the
mid-engine design as the standard layout for
high-per formance cars at that t ime.
A Lamborghini i s not for the t imid dr iver. I f the
goal i s to s imply get f rom point A to point B,
buy a mid-s ize sedan. This i s a t rue peddle-to-
the-metal dr iv ing exper ience; one that el ic its
pr ivate instruct ion for 100 mph-plus dr iv ing
on a closed course – result ing in an ever-
present appreciat ion for why a Lamborghini i s
a col lectable, not a purchase. S ince 1966, the
fol lowing top f ive models cont inue to reign in
any discuss ion involving luxury sports cars.
MUIRAAs the epitome of mid-engine high per formance
cars, the Muria was only produced for a per iod
of s ix years; only 475 of these models were ever
made. I t holds a top speed of 180 mph, with
a 12 cyl inder engine. Two addit ional vers ions,
the S 140 and the SV 150, were crafted as
power ful , s leek grand tour ing motorcars meant
for long distant dr iv ing.
ESPADAEspada, meaning a type of bul l f ight ing sword
in Spanish, was brought to l i fe between 1968
and 1978; i t was said that Ferruccio Lamborghini
was fascinated with bul ls and bul l f ight ing. With
a top speed of around 152 mph, dr ivers are
afforded speed and per formance, as wel l as
the pr iv i lege of owning a Lamborghini . There
were three dif ferent ser ies: the S1 (1968-1970),
S2 (1970-1972) and S3 (1972-1978).

been cal led the ‘sexiest’ and ‘top’ motorcar

and angled look establ ished Lamborghini as
a class ic forever. And whi le the design has
been repl icated on several luxury motorcars
current ly on the market, there remains only
one Countach “even i f imitat ion is the highest
form of f latery.”
The s ignature wing doors and body sty le are
the most recognizable automobi le designs
ever. With a top speed of 190 mph, this i s not a
‘go get your nai ls done’ k ind of car. Countach
engineer ing demands to be seen on a track,
dr iv ing at high speeds; otherwise, the very
reason for i ts existence is compromised. The
Countach deserves the l icense plate f rame

Receiving notable accolades f rom a
number of publ icat ions each year,
along with the overwhelming support of
cl ientele near and far, Adelaide’s – a European-
sty le boutique extending dai ly f loral designs,
home and garden décor – celebrates 75 years
of f loral t radit ion and tenacity, stemming
from an ever-present entrepreneur ial spi r i t .
Del ight ing the senses with an orchestrated
affai r of f resh stems and bouquets along
the br ick- laiden storefront, Debbie Newel l ,
Adelaide’s newest owner of f ive months, hopes
to br ing new energy and forward motion to the
brand, without changing the very essence of
i ts existence.
From peonies in May and l i lacs f rom Ju l ian, to a vast array of grace
and charm in bloom each season, Adelaide’s in La Jol la has s ince 1936
establ i shed a tradi t ion of pass ion and community ; ensuing not only
bount i fu l des igns inspired by Mother Nature, but has – in the process –
cul t ivated a bus iness wi th heart . The iconic bout ique – s tepped along the
his tor ic pathways of Girard – i s now under new ownership, bear ing wi tness
to the legacy and l iv ing testament of Adelaide and the Phi l l ips fami ly.
According to
Adelaide
DE
SIG
N
“Adelaide’s i s about the exper ience of being
here,” notes Newel l , who holds a background
in design, taking the unexpected opportunity
with the shop as an out let for her craft . “We
are [foremost] a fami ly. And that is the success
of Adelaide’s. We attr ibute this to the Phi l l ips’ ,
[s imply] honor ing their legacy. We have
several cl ients who have been coming here
for 30+ years. The tradit ion is our business – i t ’s
the heart of what we do, and keeps us moving
forward.”
Newel l and her brother invested in the f loral
bout ique last November, taking on the thi rd
generat ion, fami ly-owned business f rom Gina
Phi l l ips, Adelaide’s granddaughter; a venture
that once began with an operat ing budget of
$6 and a road-s ide stand along Highway 101
in Encinitas.
Known for exceptional qual i ty and service,
Adelaide’s cont inues to support a host of
community char itable organizat ions and
fundrais ing events; f rom the La Jol la Histor ical
Society’s Secret Garden Tour in May and Del
Mar Racing in July, to annual exhibits for the
County Fair, San Diego Museum of Art and the
Music Society. “ I t’s personal to be a part of the
community,” states Newel l . “ I t goes beyond
the exposure [of the business], and involves
[the act] of giv ing back; [not to mention] being
a part of what our cl ients are so pass ionately
involved with.”
On average, the boutique carr ies 50 f loral
var ietals (each in varying color), with hol iday
events and celebrat ions tout ing 75-plus.
Casablanca’s and al l white arrangements are
requested most, for a palate displaying a clean
and elegant design. And according to a shop
designer, the boutique’s practicing phi losophy
involves everything from the garden in their
designs, including fruits , vegetables and
greens. Apples, grapes and pineapples are
displayed for December, with potatoes in the
fal l , and even the dai ly use of kale for added
dimension and interest. And whi le Valent ine’s
and Mother’s Day are considerably the two
busiest seasons for the designers, Adelaide’s
holds great pr ide in celebrat ing dai ly l i fe
moments with i ts cl ientele, serving weddings
and anniversar ies, int imate dinners for two, as
wel l as a welcoming arrangement in the foyer.
According to Newel l , “Business i s so much more
than the bottom l ine. I t ’s about our cl ients,
the people who work here, and creating an
enjoyable exper ience for everyone. We are
[s imply] a business with heart.”uAdelaide’s Flowers

Exploring CoombsvilleContinue your Napa explorat ion by vis i t ing
a smal l grape growing region on the cusp of
discovery, just f ive minutes up the road from
downtown. Gaining notor iety for the truly
great wines i t i s producing, Coombsvi l le is
home to some 20 winer ies, most of which offer
pr ivate tast ings – often with the winemakers
themselves. With a combination of cool ai r,
var ied elevations, wel l -drained and mineral-
r ich soi ls , winer ies here produce what is rapidly
gaining recognit ion as some of the world’s best
Cabernet Sauvignon.
Meteor Vineyard is a Coombsvi l le winery not
to miss; the soi l here, which contains a unique
type of smal l volcanic stones, produces a
Cabernet Sauvignon with intense, luscious
f ru it found in modern Napa wines along with
a unique mineral i ty and structural complexity
found in t radit ional Bordeaux sty les.
Nearby Caldwel l V ineyard is a wine lover’s
jewel, with winemaking operat ions located
within an excavated cave; i t i s heralded for
wel l -balanced wines including Syrah, Merlot,
Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon blends.

takes place within the l iv ing rock of Mount
George in a maze of tunnels and lofty domes.
Palmaz produces elegant and complex wines
including Cabernet Sauvignon, Ries l ing and

Coombsvi l le is pursuing AVA (American
Vit iculture Area) designation and is doubtless
headed into future fame. Tours and tast ings

Thornton Wineries – The Gateway of Temecula Wine Country Highl ight ing the f lavor, f reshness and

premium wines with the intent ion of creating
dist inct var ietal express ions for each wine with

20 acres of v ines, the winery employs the

the Mediterranean and Rhone regions.
According to Winemaker David Vergar i , an
industry veteran of 20 years, a good white is
foremost der ived from “good grapes. One of
the most cr i t ical decis ions, i s when to pick;
i t ’s a window of opportunity when grapes are

Keyways – Temecula’s Only Female Owned & Managed WineryShar ing in the romance of wine country,
Terr i Delhamer – Keyways’ owner for the past
f ive years – i s most rewarded by “making
sure people enjoy themselves.” A former real
estate broker and lawyer, Delhamer took the
in it ial l i s t ing for the winery’s founders, only to
have purchased the property as an investment
for herself . With 13 acres, the boutique winery
extends concerts on the terrace dur ing the
summer and a white rose garden amid the
vines for weddings. The tast ing bar even boasts
a Brazi l ian onyx counter, l i t f rom underneath.
For the past two years, Winemaker David
Raffaele has made his mark on Keyways’ f lavor.
A former photojournal ist for the Navy, Raffaele
traveled much of Europe, soaking in the detai ls
and tradit ions of the wine making process. And
according to Delhamer, “Compared to other
winemakers, he is def in itely more adventurous,
constant ly learning new techniques and
blends.”
“For me, I look for the express ion of the
var ietal ,” she notes on def ining a good white
wine. “You smel l i t , taste i t and know. I l ike cr ispy

PAMPLEMOUSSE GR ILLE SOLANA BEACH, CA
Chef/Owner Jeffrey Strauss has a flair for presentation and an unquestionable
talent for taste that has delighted the palates of the world’s most powerful busi-
ness brokers, socialites, United States Presidents and both American and foreign
dignitaries. He has turned from the world of “Chef to the Stars” to creating food
that’s more personal, and serving his family and friends.
Throughout his nine years at Glorious Food (1985-1993), Strauss took leaves of ab-
sence to concentrate on higher learning in some of Europe’s finest Michelin-rated
restaurants. Upon his return, armed with big and fresh ideas, Jeffrey applied many
of the newly acquired creative techniques by teaching the staff at Glorious Food
what he had learned. The culture of sharing knowledge and inspiration at Glorious
Food is one of the reasons that the highly regarded catering company has main-
tained a competitive advantage for such a long period of time.
Strauss’ eclectic inspirations for Pamplemousse Grille are drawn from the New
Jersey farm of his grandparents, where he visited frequently as a child. He brought
these inspirations to the prime Solana Beach location of the restaurant, just mo-
ments from the Pacific Ocean, across the street from the Del Mar Racetrack and
down the road from acclaimed produce farms, nature preserves and polo grounds.
When he opened Pamplemousse Grille in 1996, Strauss made a personal state-
ment with the casual yet elegant atmosphere, and inspired yet straightforward
food that delights all the senses. His menu at Pamplemousse Grille melds his many
creations and inspirations from his tenure as Executive Sous Chef and Executive
Chef at Glorious Food, and his many travels to Europe.
In 2008 Jeffrey was honored to accept the 2008 ‘Nice Guy of the Year’ award
from the very generous San Diego charitable foundation known as the ‘Nice Guys’.
This organization’s focus is to empower struggling local families. This honor has
been one of his more meaningful achievements due to its profound effect on the
community he calls home.
Since its debut, Pamplemousse Grille has received many local and national
awards including: “Best Restaurant, People’s Choice” San Diego Home & Gardens,
“Best New Restaurant” “Best Caterer” and “San Diego’s Best Chef” San Diego
Magazine, Zagat Rated #1 Restaurant in San Diego for three consecutive years.

The Powerof a Wish
by Jeanne Ferris
Photography courtesy of Make-A-Wish Foundation of San Diego
It al l started with a s imple wish: the heart of a
seven-year-old boy with leukemia dreaming
of one day becoming a pol ice off icer, and
his name was Chr istopher. With his health
deter iorat ing, a fami ly f r iend and custom’s
off icer arranged for Chr is to spend a day with
the team, complete with a hel icopter r ide, a
custom-tai lored uniform and the opportunity
to earn his wings after pass ing the motorcycle
prof iciency test on his battery-operated
motorcycle. Chr is was also sworn in as the
f i rst honorary DPS patrolman in Ar izona state
history. Chr is lost his batt le that same week.
A l i fe-threatening medical condit ion for
anyone is heartbreaking, especial ly in regard
to chi ldren. As in the case of Chr istopher, a
granted wish provides a joyful exper ience of
l i fe-aff i rming enr ichment and a respite f rom
doctor v is i ts and medical t reatments for wish
k ids and their fami l ies. Ranging from two-and-
a-half years of age to 18, chi ldren have the
opportunity to be, meet, go or have whatever
they may wish.
“One young man named Darren wished to
give new uniforms to his high school footbal l
team last year,” shared Chr is S ichel, CEO of
Make-A-Wish San Diego. “Disney vacations and
celebr i ty wishes tend to be the most popular.
[ In the end], i t ’s al l about helping k ids ident i fy
their one true wish and working our ‘magic’ to
make i t happen.”
One of 64 chapters wor ldwide, the San Diego
CH
AR
ITY
On a mission to simply enrich the human experience
with hope, strength and joy, the Make-A-Wish
Foundation has since 1980 granted wishes for children
with life threatening medical conditions. With 64
chapters worldwide, the nonprofit has granted more
than 200,000 wishes over the past 30 years – an
average of one wish every 40 minutes.

With a variety of team challenges fol-

UPCOMING EVENTSchapter was founded in 1983 by Jamie Tucker, and has
held a devoted volunteer outreach in al l capacit ies
for over a decade; the chapter has granted more
than 2,700 wishes to date, and expects to grant an
est imated 195 wishes this year alone. I t i s one of a smal l
cluster of San Diego non-prof i ts who have earned the
designation “Accredited Charity” by the Better Bus iness
Bureau/Wish Giving Al l iance. And according to S ichel,
“This means we have demonstrated our abi l i ty to meet
their 20 r igorous standards of governance, f inancial
accountabi l i ty, and effect iveness. We are very proud
to be in an el i te class of non-prof i t organizat ions.”
As of March 2010, the average cost of a wish is $7,205;
for every dol lar donated, 75 percent goes towards wish
grant ing – which exceeds program service al location
standards set forth by leading char ity watchdog groups.
Despite economic chal lenges, maintaining the qual i ty
of wishes granted is not negotiable and donor support
i s needed more than ever.
“Wishes can have a profound impact on the ent i re
fami ly, because i t i s not just a wish for that chi ld, i t ’s
something that his or her fami ly can be part of as wel l .
And, we also see a r ipple effect that wishes can have
on the community, f rom the l imo dr iver who takes that
k id to the airport, the clerk that helps a chi ld on a
shopping spree wish, the volunteers who work hands-on
with the organizat ion, and the donors who make i t al l
poss ible,” said S ichel. “Even the person s i t t ing at home
reading this story might be inspired to give back, or be
reminded of what’s real ly important in l i fe. This i s what
we refer to as the ‘power of a wish’.” u

Scott White Contemporary Art Showcases ‘Changes’ by Tim Bavington
As the first solo exhibition for Las Vegas-
based painter Tim Bavington, ‘Changes’ is a
collection of 13 paintings and prints – reflect-
ing the artist’s diversity of musical inspiration
and unbridled use of color. Drawing inspiration
from rock music, Bavington’s paintings give
notes and chords visual life through vibrant
colors and meticulous lines. This work departs
from the tradition of color field painting, most
notably Gene Davis, through intent and his
application of synthetic polymer to canvas
with an airbrush. The complexity of Baving-
ton’s new body of work shows by creating
compositions that are rhythmic but still taught
with tension. The exhibition at the Scott White
studio runs through May 7th.

is forCardio
by Jason R. Karp, Ph.D.
I t can be said that t ime is a valued commodity.
Even so, keeping up with regular cardio
workouts i s a must for any f i tness regimen –
especial ly when i t comes to weight loss. And
despite how much t ime one sacr i f ices for a
workout, sk ipping cardio-specif ic exercises
can actual ly lower the qual i ty and intensity of
a workout. In order of intensity, below are the
most effect ive cardio workouts for improving
cardiovascular f i tness and burning fat.
Long, Slow Distance (LSD) WorkoutsLow-intensity workouts last ing at least 60
minutes in length cause many adaptat ions
that increase aerobic f i tness and burns fat;
these include: an increase in the number of
red blood cel ls and hemoglobin, a greater
capi l lary network for a more rapid dif fus ion of
oxygen into the muscles, and an increase in
the amount of mitochondria in the muscle –
al l of which change the metabol ic prof i le of
one’s muscles, turning them into better fat
burning machines. LSD workouts can ut i l i ze
any cardio-targeted equipment, ranging from
a treadmil l and bike, to the el l ipt ical or rowing
machines; the more muscles involved and the
more weight-bearing the exercise, the more
calor ies burned.
Lactate Threshold Workouts (LT)
The lactate threshold represents one’s highest
sustainable exercise intensity, and demarcates
the transit ion between exercise that generates
purely aerobic energy versus a combination
of aerobic and anaerobic metabol ic energy
output. LT workouts raise the lactate threshold
to a higher percentage of the maximum heart
rate, increasing aerobic f i tness. These workouts
are also great fat burners as they cause the
highest rate of fat use.
The lactate threshold is approximately
80 percent maximum heart rate for unf i t
people and about 85 percent max for those
aerobical ly f i t ; subject ively, the workout should
feel comfortably hard. I t i s recommended
to engage in continuous workouts for 15 to
20 minutes at lactate threshold intensity or
FITN

employ f ive minute segments with one minute
recovery intervals.
Interval WorkoutsInterval workouts alternate high-intensity
work periods with low-intensity recovery
intervals. Aerobic interval workouts target
the cardiovascular system by increasing one’s
maximum stroke volume (volume of blood the
heart pumps with each beat) and cardiac output
(volume of blood the heart pumps each minute),
along with increasing muscle power by recruiting
fast-twitch muscle fibers – thus sculpting the body;
the more intense the workout, the greater and
longer the post-workout elevation in metabolism,
which burns more calories the rest of the day.
For cardiovascular intervals, exercise for three to
five minutes at 95 to 100 percent max heart rate
with recovery intervals equal to or slightly-less-
than the time of the work periods. For anaerobic
intervals, exercise at slightly-less-than an all-out
sprint for 20 seconds to one minute with recovery
intervals two to three times as long as the time of
the work periods.
For personal t raining sess ions, contact Dr.
Karp at [email protected]. u
SAMPLE CARDIO PROGRAM
Include a warm-up and cool-down before and after interval and lactate threshold workouts. Alternate weeks 1 and 2, increasing the volume of the workouts as you progress.
