About our Literacy Instruction Program. Literacy abilities are the foundation of contemporary K-12 schooling and for most current careers, yet many students struggle to attain the expected literacy benchmarks.
Sets and reps are the terms used to describe the number of times you perform an exercise. A rep is the number of times you perform a specific exercise, and a set is the number of cycles of reps that you complete. For example, suppose you complete 15 reps of a bench press.
One set is effective, though two to three sets may be better, according to limited evidence. A set is a specific number of repetitions of an exercise; we recommend repeating each exercise eight to 12 times. Your body needs at least 48 hours for recovery and repairs between strength training sessions.
