Answers:
you should do each exercise for 12-15 repetitions!. rest about a minute and do it again!. then move on to a new body part!. the weight should be heavy enough that by the last 3 or 4 reps, it is very difficult to complete!. you should be huffing and puffing! keep really good form, do the exercises slowly!. you WILL be sore the next day!. Just think of that soreness as BUILDING TONE & MUSCLE!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
