My fitness journey is ongoing - New goals means continual motivation

My fitness journey began in August 2015. 

That’s when I turned to Fitness Blender, because I didn’t just want to lose weight and go back to how I was before – I also wanted to tone up, build shape and curve, and get fitter, stronger and more flexible. 

I was amazed by the sheer number and variety of their FREE workouts! I also really liked that Kelly and Daniel were refreshingly down to earth, and very generous with sharing their knowledge about health and fitness. I trusted them 100% because they weren’t trying to sell a product – they were simply promoting a healthy way of life that anyone could achieve. 

My fitness journey is ongoing – new goals means continual motivation. While I am happy at my current weight and I like the overall shape of my body, I am still striving to gain more tone overall, to lift and round my butt, and to increase my flexibility (I would like to be able to touch my toes one day!). 

I work out five days a week for between 30-45 minutes, all with Fitness Blender – 3 days for lower body, 2 days for upper body. In particular, I also did two rounds of the FB Booty Boot Camp which made a significant difference! In terms of food, I have a student budget so my diet isn’t as good as I would one day like it to be, but I try to get in enough fruit and veggies and avoid processed foods during the week, but I do let myself indulge over the weekends.

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 .
