What is advised for resistance training frequency to avoid overtraining?

  1. 1 or 2 workouts per week

  2. 3 or more resistance workouts per week

  3. Daily workouts without rest

  4. One workout every two weeks

The correct answer is: 3 or more resistance workouts per week

Resistance training is an important component of exercise, but it is not recommended to do it every day without rest. This can lead to overtraining, which can result in fatigue, decreased performance, and an increased risk of injury. Similarly, exercising only once every two weeks may not allow for sufficient progress and improvements. To strike a balance between these extremes, it is recommended to perform resistance training at least 3 times per week to allow for adequate recovery and progress.
