Good morning. I just have a question about repetitions. If I am do alternating lunges and it says 20 reps, am I doing 20 either side or 20 all up? Cheers. ---

When it says 20 reps for alternating lunges, it typically means 20 total, so 10 for each side. So go ahead and alternate sides until you’ve completed a total of 20 lunges. Hope that helps! ---

This is correct. As far as I know, any exercise that has alternate sides, one side counts as one rep. You can see this if you open a video for exercise and swipe up. ---

Hi, Wondering about the right reps. When it says 15x Climbers or Lunges for example. Is that 15x total for both legs or 15x left/right (”pairs”) ? ---

It usually says that in the description. In the case of climbers and lunges one rep is one each leg, so unfortunately you do e.g. 8 right and 7 left and the other way around ---

To be honest as soon as I had 15 mountain climbers I was sure that „one side counts as one rep” means „ONLY one side counts as one rep” aka „count left”. But yesterday I changed my journey to one with weights and finally realise I have to be wrong because it’s impossible. Thanks!
