Personalized Exercise Plans

skenway Posts: 1 Joined: 2006/03/12	2006/03/23, 01:17 AM I have a quick point of clarification. In the personalized exercise plans it will recommend 20 reps for an exercise that is lateral. Therefore you have to exercise the left arm and then the right. Does this recommended 20 reps for each arm or both arms in total. I have been using the site for about 3 years and this is a question I have always been curious about.

One of my exercises said to alternate so thats what I got out of it. Plus 20 just seems like a lot when they are having you generally do 4 sets, don't you think? -------------- Sarah Olympia, WA

And if I'm alternating arm curls then it would be 10 each arm as well. Please confirm for me. Thanks! :big_smile: -------------- Sarah Olympia, WA
