Calisthenics Unity

I have a quick question. How do you know if you failed. For example, if your doing an exercise but need to take a quick breather because you're getting tired but jump right back into it. Is that considered failing the workout?? Or is failing the workout when you can't do a single rep at all & you're burnt out??

For example, I was doing an ab exercise & after a certain number I was either cramping up or was getting tired & stopped for a breather. My breathers take like 30 seconds max, & then I jump right back into it. So would that be considered failing or is failing when you can't do a single rep anymore or you're burnt out??

Thank you if you can answer this for me.

I know what you mean - I have this problem myself sometimes. This is a sign from your body that your maximum has been reached, and that's far from failing a workout. After all that's the point of working out - to push your body to its limits. I dont think that making a small pause in a set to take a breath is something wrong, as long as this pause isn't too big. I would recommend lessening the number of seconds you rest to 15, or something like that

Thank you for the reply. It means a lot.

Great answers!
