1. Try to do this at least 5 to 10 times.

2. Try to do this at least from 5 to 10 times.
(Doe s#1 mean #2? Can we use 'from' before 5?) •English - Writeacher, Saturday, April 9, 2016 at 8:38am
The two sentences seem to mean the same thing, but "then" is not needed. So just use #1, and skip #2.
======================
Do you mean we don't use 'from' generally?

Answer 1

No, "from" is a perfectly good word. "I am from Korea." "He received a package from his grandmother." "Aunt Della flew here from Tampa." It's a preposition.

It's not needed in the sentence #2 above. It's correct, but redundant. "at least 5 to 10 times" says it all.
