I must work on performing exercises that involve resistance training when working on muscular strength. I can increase this number to 4 or 5 times a week as I see improvement.

I must do 8-12 of those reps and then 1-3 sets of the reps. As I increase my fitness, I can increase the amount of reps or even add an extra set. If I am decreasing the weight of the equipment, I will increase the number or reps or sets.
