Most workouts are defined by sets and reps. Here's what that means.
A set is a series of repetitions (reps) of an exercise done in sequence.
Reps is short for repetition. A rep is a single movement of any exercise.
You might do push-ups for 3 sets of 10 reps with 30 seconds rest between sets.
In Other Words...
10 Push-Ups
30 Seconds Rest

Also, you might see instructions such as 3x5 of bench press.
In this example, 3x5 means “three sets of five reps of bench press.”
The # of Sets will always be stated first.
