| What are sets?
Sets are simply repetitions of repetitions. For example if you perform 12 reps of an exercise that is one set. If you then do 12 more reps that will be your second set. Not too complicated really (Could you repeat that? - Beeble).
How many sets should you perform per exercise?
This is where it can get confusing, the most popular answer to this question is usually three sets per exercise. Why? I have no idea, but like many exercise concepts in the past they stick until someone comes along with a group of scientists and proves it to be incorrect. Some people will train at five sets and others will just do the one but carry out many different exercises.img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~r/Beebleblog/~4/jWHuR2MD0Wg" height="1" width="1"/ |

| We have been very busy this year creating our fitness tools for you to use. Our heads have been well and truly buried over the last 5 months creating a one stop shop for you to check and monitor your health and fitness.
Why use our fitness tools
For people who have signed up for our Beeble's Fitness for Life you will already know that we provide you with a monthly exercise program for free. However if you have just been using your scales to judge the change in your body then you just might be missing out on some more accurate ways of measuring your progress. Every month when you receive your new exercise program go through our calculators one by one and note down all your results. This way month by month your training will progress as will your knowledge of your achievements.img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~r/Beebleblog/~4/n_EdGwrAO0U" height="1" width="1"/ |

| When designing any program it is important to decide how many repetitions are needed for each exercise. To get this number you first need to understand what your goals are. When you know what you want to achieve then you can start designing a bespoke program that will really help you reach those goals.img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~r/Beebleblog/~4/A5xRa5SlJzM" height="1" width="1"/ |
