What is a safe maximum increase in exercise per week to prevent injuries?

  1. 5%

  2. 10%

  3. 20%

  4. 30%

The correct answer is: 10%

A 5% increase in exercise per week may not be significant enough to see any noticeable progress or improvements. This could lead to frustration and lack of motivation. A 20% or 30% increase in exercise per week is too large and can lead to overexertion, muscle strains, and other injuries. It is important to gradually increase exercise to allow your body to adapt and prevent injuries. A 10% increase in exercise per week is a safe and gradual approach that allows your body to gradually adjust and progress without risking injury. It is a balance of challenging yourself while also listening to your body's limits.
