I do all 4 sets of each exercise before moving on to the next one. -------------- Be patient, persistent and strong and you will succeed.

I would recommend doing as many as possible toward your goal reps each set, you will eventually be able to do them all. It is like trying to bench a certain weight. When you first start, you may only be able to do 5 instead of 8, but keep doing them, and you will soon be able to do all 8. We all have to start somewhere. Good luck.... -------------- Failing to plan is like planning to fail!

Just keeping trying and keep the motivation. It will happen. -------------- Lisa Just laugh about it....
