You don’t have to do multiple sets to get the benefits of weight training. When prescribed appropriately, resistance training can be the best medicine for the prevention and rehabilitation of orthopedic injuries and for overall health. The American College of Sports Medicine says that the most beneficial program for healthy people of all ages, and for many patients with chronic diseases, consists of 8 to 10 single-set weight-training routines of up to 15 repetitions each, performed at least two days per week. Single-set programs produce many of the same health and fitness benefits as multiple-set programs but are less time consuming and easier to maintain. Patients with chronic diseases (such as arthritis) may have to limit range of motion for some exercises and use lighter weights with more repetitions, but they'll reap similar benefits.
