Once you can complete sets of 8 or even 10 reps, add more sets, gradually working up to 5 or 6 sets on each workout. -

QuestionWhich is better: a full body workout or a workout that focuses on specific body parts?
Community AnswerBoth are very beneficial. Full body workouts engage all parts of the body, which is good. I prefer particular body part workouts because, for example, you can concentrate on your legs for a whole day, and give them a good workout. The next day you could do your arms, while your legs are resting. You are also changing up your routine every day, so that's a really good thing. Whole body workouts may take too much time in your day and because you are fatigued, you might skip some workouts. -

QuestionHow many sets or reps should I start with when making a workout plan?
Lil ComaCommunity AnswerIt depends on your goals. If you're trying to build muscle, do 5-6 sets of 10-12 reps. If your goal is to get stronger, then lower your weight and do 6-7 sets of 15-20 reps. The number of repetitions may vary. Big muscles (e.g quads, chest, back) need 16-20 sets a week, while small insertions (e.g biceps, calves, shoulders) need 10-15 sets a week. -
QuestionCan I work out random days in a week?
Community AnswerYes but try making a schedule on how long you're going to workout and how often you're to work out. For example, if you're going to work out five days per week, try three days of strength training, like lifting weights, push ups, pull ups or squats, two days of cardio, like jogging. After that, you can take an active rest, like drinking water or stretching, or rest a little for two days so that the next week, you can starting doing your workouts again for another 5 days.

QuestionThe course I'm taking is 28 days of the same flat stomach HIIT workout with cooldowns and warmups. Do I do the same workout every day and since its a course, can I stick to it for the whole 28 days?
RAZIYAH MACYCommunity AnswerYes, you can. But, it would be better to shake it up every day. Maybe add 1-5 more reps of each thing every day. Also, make sure you have rest days. In order for you to get that flat stomach, you need to give your muscles time to repair and grow back stronger. Choose 1 or two days of the week that you won't workout. -
QuestionHow can I prevent muscle inbalences when lifting weights or running?
RAZIYAH MACYCommunity AnswerWork out both sides of your body the same amount using the same amount of weights. For running, just pay attention to your legs, and if you notice that you're doing different things on either side, make sure it is the same. Also, if you are really unbalanced, work out the weaker side a little bit more and then slowly balance it out as time goes on.
