How many reps and sets should I do?
The number of reps and sets one should do in a workout depends on the specific fitness goals and individual capabilities. For strength and muscle building, it is generally recommended to perform 8-12 reps per set and complete 3-5 sets per exercise. This range helps to target the muscles effectively, allowing them to be challenged and grow. For endurance and toning, higher reps ranging from 12-20 per set and performing 2-4 sets is common. However, beginners may start with lower reps and fewer sets, gradually increasing the workload as they become more comfortable and stronger. It is important to listen to one's body, ensure proper form, and consult a fitness professional to design a personalized workout program.
