What does sets, reps and other exercise terms mean?
Question:
Reps: 8 to 12
Rest: 30 to 60 seconds
Bend your knees and lift your legs until your thighs are above your hips (A). Press your palms into the floor and lower your legs to the left. Go as far as possible while keeping your right shoulder glued to the floor (B), then bring your legs back to center. Next, lower them to the right. Alternate until you've completed 8 to 12 reps on each side.
explain this to me thanks
Answers:
Reps are repetitions - say you do push up, 10 reps (10 times), 1 rep is when you return to your starting position.
Sets - 3 sets meaning 3 x 10 reps...therefore you complete one 10 rep, you need to complete another. Usually you rest for after one set. and restart another set thereafter.
Rest - rest between each set. let's say you are doing 10 reps, 3 sets. you start the first set of 10 reps, and then rest, say 30seconds. The commence the 2nd set and thereafter.
Hope that helped.
i wonder the samething
Sets: A group of Reps
Reps: a full movement of an exercise, like the lowering and raising of a barbell
aahhhhh i get what this exercise is. ok
lay on your back like your about to do a crunch, with your legs up, Knees at a 90 degree angle. move your legs to the left as far as you can with your back stuck to the ground at all times. do the same again but to th right. thats 1 Rep, a full cycle. do that 8 to 12 times. Rest 30 to 60s seconds. Do it again 8 - 12 times. rest again. Do it again 8 to 12 times.
i assume you're doing some sort of ""leg lift/twist" for abs? lie flat on your back on the floor..raise your legs up in the air as if you were sitting in an imaginary chair, i.e. lift your legs until your thighs are above your hips.
put your hands on the floor to your sides, palms flat on the floor.
slowly lower your legs (keeping your knees together) to the left, while trying to keep your RIGHT shoulder flat on the floor. (this causes your abs to stretch out some)
bring your legs back to where you started (sitting in the imaginary chair)
no go to the right, keeping the LEFT shoulder on the floor.
each Left-center-right...is 1 repitition, you'll do 8-12 of those, you'll know if you can do 12 or not.
take a 30-60 second break (put your feet back on the floor and rest)
do 2 more "sets" just like the first.
