How do you know how many reps to do?

Hi Dani,

as Nancy said, the number of repetitions depends on what the client’s goals are.

Having said that, if I start with a client who is a novice to exercise, I tend to gravitate towards a lighter weight for at least 10 to 12 reps with just a little fatigue. With older clients I am even more cautious when they do not have a history of exercise.
