 These are some general guidelines that we would recommend for lower body workout.

  • Workout your lower body up to three non-consecutive days in a week. Consider taking at least a single rest day between workouts.
  • If you are doing weight lifting workouts, enough that you are able to perform up to 6 to 8 reps, you might require more rest and more in workouts for recovering your muscle fibers.
  • If your ultimate goal is to achieve lean muscle tissues & endurance, then try 1 to 3 sets of 12 to 16 reps of every exercise, make sure that you utilize enough weight that you could complete reps.
