One of the first things that you should do after you sign up and register for your MelioGuide Exercise for Better Bones osteoporosis exercise program is download your twelve week schedule. Sets and reps are integral to your exercise program and are included in your schedule.
Your printed manual and your online account contain a complete description of each of the individual exercises in your program. Descriptions of the targets and steps involved in the proper execution of the exercise, as well as the photos and videos are included. Your exercise schedule will include the number of sets and reps for each of the exercises. In the video below I describe in detail what I mean by sets and reps.
Sets and Reps
Reps refers to the number of repetitions I am prescribing for your level. You should choose a weight (if the exercise includes a weight) that fatigues your targeted muscles within the range of reps listed in your schedule.
Sets refers to how many times you should do the prescribed individual exercise. For example, I may recommend 10 to 12 reps for a specific exercises. Those 10 to 12 reps make up one set.
You schedule order is important and you should execute the exercises in the order I recommend and you should only do one set at a time. After you complete the first set, then you can do the second set. Keep them in sequence.
If you can do a third set, go for it!
