Terry,
Stelnikova recomended to follow the pace of marching soldier,
this corresponds to about 96 repetitions. 64 sounds somewhat
too slow, it is probably more applicable to a person having
breathing difficulties in the moment of doing exercise.

We are doing it even somewhat faster, I timed about 104 repetitions
at a normal pace. Basicaly it should be a light physical excercies
that warms you up somewhat.
But rate depends on the particular excercise. Some are
faster than others. For examle the first one, "palms" can be
done very fast, because it does not involve a lot of physical
action. But more hard once, like "knee ups" (ex 11) which constitute
substantial physical activity can not be done very fast without
losing the sniffing rithm.
Loud snifing without audible breathing out is the key,
and you you feel that it is too fast for you and you are starting
grasping for air, slow down.
I think comfortable rate also depends on physical form. Excercies
should not overstress you and get you out of comfortable
breathing pattern.

Btw where could I see the Igor Borisov's article? Is it
in english?

Regards,
Evgenj
