So if an exercise tells you to do 3 sets of 10 reps. It means you perform 10 repetitions of the exercise, then pause. Those 10 repetitions are one set. Then repeat for 2 more sets for a total of 3 sets. A circuit is a grouping of two or more exercises that are done back to back. An example of a circuit repeated two times could be exercise A for 10 reps, exercise B for 15 reps. This would mean you would perform exercise A for 10 repetitions, then exercise B for 15 repetitions, then repeat exercise A for 10 repetitions, then exercise B for 10 repetitions.     - [Prehab App](https://support.theprehabguys.com/prehab-app?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General](https://support.theprehabguys.com/prehab-app?hsLang=en#general) - [Programs](https://support.theprehabguys.com/prehab-app?hsLang=en#programs) - [Workouts](https://support.theprehabguys.com/prehab-app?hsLang=en#workouts) - [Prehab Pro](https://support.theprehabguys.com/prehab-pro?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General Information](https://support.theprehabguys.com/prehab-pro?hsLang=en#general-information) - [Navigation How to Guides](https://support.theprehabguys.com/prehab-pro?hsLang=en#navigation-how-to-guides) - [Teams/ Group Membership Information](https://support.theprehabguys.com/prehab-pro?hsLang=en#teams-group-membership-information) - [General Support](https://support.theprehabguys.com/general-support?hsLang=en) [![\[P\]rehab](https://support.theprehabguys.com/hs-fs/hubfs/The%20Prehab%20Guys%20Final%20Logo.png?width=400&height=109&name=The%20Prehab%20Guys%20Final%20Logo.png "[P]rehab")](https://www.theprehabguys.com) 8581 Higuera st.
