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.
When you perform the first rep of a given exercise, your neurological system doesnât know what the heck it needs to do to. Performing exercises in a pattern somewhere between 2Ã12 (two sets of 12 reps) and 3Ã10 (three sets of ten reps) allows you to really concentrate on every motion. Your neurological system will learn which muscle fibers need to contract and which need to relax.
