Thanks Clive,
The original sentences are as follows:
Each of the first three lessons should not be done more than twice a day each, preferably morning and evening. Nor should they be attempted for more than a minute or so, unless that entails a sense of hurry. A comfortable sense of leisure is essential.

I find this confusing because it is anomalous in subtle ways.
"each" with "not" and yet another "each" is strange.
"sense of hurry" is a little strange, perhaps.
"unless" is improperly used if I grasp the intended meaning correctly.
