Answer 1

A rep is one full movement or completion of an exercise.

And a set is how many you do of that particular workout.

And for anyone to answer that question about a good workout plan, I'd need to know your Height your usual body weight, how much you plan on working out, and if your a hard gainer or any easy gainer so you'd know how many calories to take in.

Answer 2

You should get a subscription to a fitness magazine.  To answer your question could literally take a month.

But "sets" are a group of "reps" (or repetitions) of a particular exercise. In one SET, you "curl" a dumbell 12 times (REPS). Or lets say you do a SET of 12 barbell squats. Usually you would do between 3 - 5 sets of an exercise and do 10 - 15 reps each.

Got it?

Answer 3

reps: amount of times you work it. (ex: 15 jumping jax)

Sets: Amount of time you repeat a rep (ex: doing 15 jumping jax 3 diff times, but taking a few seconds to recoop inbetween before you start again)

Answer 4

Reps are just shorter for "repetitions"

Set's are a set of repetitions.

For example, if I'm doing 3 Set of 8 Rep Bench Press's...I'm doing a total of 24 Repetitions, but I stop at 8....rest for a few minutes....go again.

Only you can find the right workout program for you.

Search google for exercising of all the muscles and develop your own comfortable routine.

Good luckk!
