I'm a bit new to this, so I'm afraid I'm not caught up on all the fitness jargon. What exactly is a set?

JME said...

A set is the continuous performance of a specific exercise for a specific number of repetitions. For example, 10 sets of 10 Squats would be performing 10 Squats ten times with breaks between each "set" of 10.

You determine the number of reps in each set. Some trainees will be able to do more than others. Tailor the workout to whatever level your ability and goals permit/require.
