Thanks for writing in with your questions.  I will try to answer them in the order you have asked them:

1) 2 strength sessions/week is ideal but not mandatory.  If it is taking you too long to get through these and you need to break them up I would suggest one general strength and one core workout.  Or consider eliminating some of the easier core exercises.   Or, do as you suggest split the strength into 2 general days and 2 core days.

2) There is no one way to do this. You can do it circuit style where you move from one exercise to the next or you can stick with one exercise to completion.  Just get the work done.

3) When it comes to progression only the aerobic volume is included.  But for recording purposes you should record the total time spent training.

4) When you begin to shake the isometric hold is finished.

A more careful reading of the book will reveal that all these questions are addressed in the text.

I hope this helps,

Scott
