It all depends on how good you wanna be. The more you practice, the better youll be.

do not do reps past the point that you are so fatigued that your form is bad and you risk injury.

 

start off with something fairly easy and work up slowly from there.

 

you will quickly see when you are getting faituged or when the next day you are extremely sore.

 

the problem peopel ahve is they get overly ambitious to start and injur themselves and are unable to keep up.

i will second that. even once youre experienced in something- be it martial arts, weight lifting, whatever... you can still become too ambitious and set yourself back. (ive been waiting all summer to start lifting seriously with my chest because of my ambition... and im not quite where i should be still.) here are two rules for training you should always keep in mind:

 

1- if the next day sore to the point of it interfering (meaning you notice it) with normal daily activities (walking around, opening a door, etc) you did too much.

 

2- if you can no longer do proper form, be it kicking a bag or curling a bar, do not continue.

 

also, just in case youre just starting training, start SLOW. going too slow wont hurt you, but going to fast will.
