In weight training, the rest time depends on the weight you lift each time
The key to success in the gym is consistency and moderation. By consistency we mean not to neglect it but also not to return as if there is no tomorrow.
In other words, do not be cold or hot. Have a system.
The same goes for your workout. Breaks are mandatory between your sets of exercises. This means that there is a specific rest time, which you must observe.
If you make a big break then it will be like starting from the beginning, so a free gift. The muscles will “cool down”, the nervous system will calm down and the pulses will drop.
If you take a short break again, then there is a risk of “burning”, to get the so-called burnout.
The ideal time to rest
So the ideal is to take a break as long as your muscles relax and regain your energy. To stay warm and keep in touch with exercise, that is, to stay connected.
Exercises with weights
In weight training, the rest time depends on the weight you lift each time.
If your workout is focused on strengthening and you lift a lot of weights, then you need to take long breaks. For heavy weights, the ideal time is two to four minutes. If it’s a lightweight category, then you will go in a minute.
This difference occurs because, the more weight you lift, the more energy you consume. In other words, you need more time to make up.
But if your fitness has to do with increasing endurance, then your workout is different. In this case, the weights are lighter but the repetitions are more frequent. Then, because your workout is aerobic, ie very oxygen, you need a shorter break, ie in the order of 35 to 60 seconds.
You want to keep your pulse and stamina elevated (endurance).
If again, you are building muscle, you are about the middle. Your repetitions range from six to twelve in each set, so your break ranges from 30 to 90 seconds. This, of course, depends on the condition of your muscles.
HIT training
HIIT training or High Intensity Interval training, is a type of exercise that significantly improves fitness and helps burn fat.
The rest time between these types of exercises varies. In general, we could say that an average is half the time of exercise. That is, if the exercise lasted one minute, the break would last 30 seconds, half.
However, if you are a beginner, it is good to do it slowly. That is, to take a little longer breaks. After all, this type of exercise is very intense and tiring.
In any case, whatever exercise you choose to do, adjust it to your measurements.
