Less than you think! Especially when you are starting out we always see people giving themselves far too much work to do and end up hating their training. When you first start out you should always leave feeling like you could've done more. This has a couple of effects, one it leaves you less soreness the next day which is worse when you just start out. It'll also therefore have less impact on your normal day-to-day life. Secondly, you will be more motivated to go back next time and crush it, rather than be worried that you won't be able to walk up the stairs to bed again. As a rough guide, I would start off with 2-3 sets on a few exercises when you first start out. Then each week you can add a set. If you get to doing 6 or 7 sets per exercise and aren't feeling it too much one of two things are true. You're a cyborg and should report to John Connor for rebooting, or you could do with putting the weight up a little. As for how many reps to do, we recommend most beginners to start with reps of 6-8. This is the start range for traditional muscle growth programmes and isn't as challenging to get a grasp of as sets of 10-12. As you train more you can become more specific but at that point I would recommend getting a coach. Here is a basic guide of what rep ranges suit what training outcomes:
The best way to get a good grasp of how much you should do is to hire a personal trainer. either in-person or online are good options. We do both so if you can't make it in person then get in touch online and we would love to help you out!
