I was scared and nervous but I hit play and pushed myself

First, I just want to say that @fitnessblender helped me save my life! 

Jan. 26th 2016 was the day I changed it all…I started with just changing my diet and being more mindful of how much I was eating. At times this felt impossible but I kept pushing. I wanted to make myself, my family, and most importantly my kids proud of me. I wouldn’t be able to achieve that if I gave up. 

I finally made the decision to start adding workouts into my day (this is where @fitnessblender comes into the picture). 

I wasn’t confident in my body and was feeling too embarrassed to go to a gym again. Not to mention it seemed like each time I would get a gym membership I would find a way to get out of going. So I waited till I was home alone to not let anyone hear how bad I was about to struggle, got on YouTube, searched for cardio workouts and low and behold Kelli and fitnessblender popped up. 

I was scared and nervous but I hit play and pushed myself as much as I could. From that first video I was hooked! I have never felt bad about the effort I could give and could feel I was getting better with each day!!! I have lost 60 lbs. so far! I still have work to do, I will always have work to do! I can always get stronger, build up more endurance, push farther. I still get sore after workouts with Fitness Blender. And I oddly love that feeling! It tells me I pushed myself just a little farther than I could have before. 

I am always telling people about how much my life has changed thanks to a random search and click on YouTube! I feel so much happier now! I actually allow a picture to be taken of me no matter what (mini victory for me). 

My kids never miss a moment to tell me how proud of me they are! How could I not keep pushing just for that reason alone? (The picture on the right is from yesterday after my #fbsweat workout). 

If this has happened in just a year with @fitnessblender I can’t wait to see what the rest of my journey will bring me!! #journeyisneverover #excitedforthefuture #grateful #fitnessblender #workoutcomplete #earnit #loveit #repeat

How Many Sets Reps Should You Do Per Exercise Each Workout?

At this point you should have a quite good understanding of why properly planning your weight training volume (the amount of sets, reps and exercises you do) is so important. And, you should also be familiar with what I consider to be the optimal volume range for most people, which is the total amount of reps you should do for each muscle group per workout and per week. From here, the next logical step is to break this optimal amount of volume down in terms of how many sets and reps you should do per exercise each workout. So, let’s do just that. How Many Sets And Reps Should I Do Per Exercise? Simple. You should do exactly enough to allow you to fall within the optimal volume range for each muscle group . Honestly, as long as that happens, then exactly how you divide your volume up among exercises becomes a little less important. Of course, that is just the quick and simple answer. You’re probably going to want to know the most common and all around proven ways of doing ...
