  How many sets and reps should you do?

  Posted by SocialHiker on December 30, 2022 at 4:12 pm

  To determine where to start with sets and reps, here is a guide to help:

  Beginners

  • New to exercise or back from a long break
  • 1-3 sets of 10-12 reps

  Intermediate

  • Currently working out 2-4 times per week
  • 2-3 sets of 12-15 reps

  Advanced

  • Currently working out 4-6 times per week
  • 3-4 sets of 15-20 reps

  You may find that performing higher reps for lower body exercises is easier than higher reps for upper body exercises, like push-ups.

  Example: You may easily perform 4 sets of squats but struggle with 2 sets of push-ups. Work to find your balance of sets and reps for each exercise as you progress.
