One of the trickiest parts of designing a workout, finding the right amount of reps and sets. Essentially, if you’re hoping to get toned, aim for a weight you can lift six to 10 times, rather than doing sets of 20 or more. . . If you can’t get through at least six reps or so, you’re probably trying to lift too much whereas if you’re easily able to go for 10 or more, you’re lifting too little. Of course, it will depend on what lift you’re doing as well. Fiddle with your set/rep mix, and see how you feel post-workout. . Find out how to design a workout plan?
