Wait at least 24-48 hours between strength training sessions to allow muscles to rest. * Or you can alternate between upper body-focused compound exercises on one day and lower body-focused ones at your next training session. You can also add cardio days to your weekly workout schedule to get your heart rate up, burn fat, and reduce calories. You can do cardio on the days you are resting from strength training. If you’re a beginner, talk to a trainer or fitness professional at your gym. They can help you figure out which weights to start with. A good rule of thumb is to start with a light weight that you can comfortably do 10 to 15 repetitions with for one set. When you feel comfortable, increase the weight for the second and third set. You should “feel the burn” during the last few repetitions but never feel painful or unstable.
