The number of times you repeat the cycle in a workout before resting is called a ...

• A. Round
• B. Rep
• C. Set
• D. Circuit

Answer: (C)

In resistance training, a rep is one complete movement of an exercise, and a set is a group of those repetitions performed in a row before you rest. The idea of repeating a cycle of movements before taking a break describes the set you’re doing—you perform a block of repetitions, rest, and then you can start another set. For example, doing eight push-ups, resting, then doing eight more is two sets of eight reps. A round or circuit refers to a sequence of different exercises, either completed once or repeated, but not the single block of repetitions itself. A rep is just one movement, not a block.
