OK, SO WHAT IS AN IDEAL NUMBER OF EXERCISES & REPS PER WORKOUT?

The Ideal Number of Exercises Per Workout

Fitness experts reveal that the ideal number of exercises per workout session ranges from 3-8, depending on your fitness level and goals. Here's a breakdown:

For Beginners:

Aim for 2-3 exercises per workout. Focus on learning proper form and technique rather than doing a lot of movements. 

For Intermediates: 

Aim for 4-6 exercises targeting different muscle groups. For example, do a mix of pushes, pulls, and isometric holds to hit arms, back, core, and legs.

For Advanced Athletes:

Up to 8 exercises is fine, but beware of overtraining if you already have intense practices. No more than 45 minutes of training on top of competitions. 

How Many Reps?

Experts recommend 3-4 reps per exercise done for 5-12 sets.  So if you do 3 sets of bicep curls, you'd lift the weight 12 times each set.

More reps with lighter weights burns fat. Fewer reps with heavier weights builds muscle. Tailor your workout to your goals.

Remember: Quality over quantity. Perfect your form on a few effective exercises rather than doing too many movements poorly. Start slow, listen to your body, and gradually increase difficulty. Consistency leads to results.
