Training for Muscular Endurance: 15+ Reps

Muscular endurance training focuses on performing a higher number of repetitions (15 or more) with lighter weights. This type of training is beneficial for improving the stamina and endurance of your muscles, which is crucial for activities like running, cycling, and swimming.

Key Points:

  • Light Weights: Use weights that you can lift for 15 or more reps.

  • Very Short Rest Periods: Keep rest periods between sets short (30-60 seconds) to maintain a high level of muscle engagement.

  • Focus on Form: Ensure that your form remains consistent throughout the high number of reps to prevent injury.
