Reps, Sets, & Rest | Understanding Basic Resistance Training Terms

Here are three common terms you will hear when following a resistance training program. Understand the basics so you can navigate any program like a pro!
👉Reps - One rep, or repetition, is a single movement, such as a single bicep curl. Workouts will typically call for a range of reps to be completed, for example, "perform 8-12 reps". This simply means performing 8-12 total bicep curls in sequence.
👉Sets - When you complete your group of 8-12 bicep curls, this is a "set". Often, you will be prescribed to complete 3-4 sets of each exercise. Between each set, you will want to take a rest.
👉Rest - The rest period you take in between sets is necessary so that you can take a break and prepare for the next set of work. Don't underestimate the power of resting! Use a timer so that your program stays at the appropriate time and intensity.

Any certain amount of time to rest between sets?

[@HealthyRVLiving]

The rest period will typically be prescribed in whichever program you are following at that time. It can range from 30 seconds up to several minutes. Generally speaking, heavier lifting will require longer rests (think powerlifting 🏋🏼‍♀️). For most people who are resistance training, 45-60 seconds is a great rest period range.
