Hello,

For each exercise, you will do four sets of each. The reps is how many of the exercise you do in each set.

I was hoping that was confusing:laugh:
Sometimes it sounds like it makes sense when you write it but after you post it you start to wonder.

Good Luck

input weight is how much weight you used for the exercise:)

sets is what I used to do a lot before I started losing weight and working out...oh wait that was sit.

But I did lots of reps with beer cans...that's how I got my 12 pack abs. :big_smile:

lol this actually helped me too... I guess you can call me the blonde of exercising! :big_smile: I used to be in great shape when I worked full-time and ate right. even had a bit of muscle. But ever since I had a baby and stopped working I feel like a complete weakling, the exercise program they gave me seems a lot harder then I thought it would be... I guess I'm more out of shape then I know! :(

Motivation\'s not a fantasy,
or very hard to find...
Looking to others is the key,
And giving back is kind.
So motivate another,
when they fail or start to lack...
And when they hit their goal,
They just may motivate you back! ;)
