Aim for a minimum of three 10-minute sessions per week. You may want to devote a larger percentage of your workout to strength training as you get older. David Slovik, MD

The 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines recommend strengthening exercises for all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, chest, abdominals, shoulders, and arms) twice or more weekly. One set is effective, though two to three sets may be better, according to limited evidence. A set is a specific number of repetitions of an exercise; we recommend repeating each exercise eight to 12 times. Your body needs at least 48 hours for recovery and repairs between strength training sessions. Adam Krueger on behalf of Sanford Health

On average if you can strength train 3-4 days a week that is fantastic. 1-2 days is ok but you will not see results as quickly after a few months of training, you will plateau. 4-5 days is difficult for a lot of people but will show great results, you just have to be careful when doing this to not overdo your training and ensuring you are resting muscles for at least a full day after a workout.
