How often should I workout?

Each person and each muscle group may require different recovery periods in order to assure maximum growth. As a rule of thumb, however, novices and those with weak muscles will require 2-3 days between workouts, while advanced students typically need 5-7 days.

Normally, we recommend that students start our program with two workouts per week. This will accelerate progress through the initial learning period, where the student is learning to concentrate, breath properly, and implement good form while the instructor determines the appropriate resistance settings for each exercise.

After 4-8 weeks, most students will be advised to reduce workout frequency to one per week for best results.
