Rep
Short for repetition - one complete movement of an exercise from start to finish.
Detailed Explanation
A rep is the basic unit of exercise measurement. One rep of a push-up means lowering your body to the floor and pressing back up once. The number of reps per set significantly impacts training outcomes: 1-5 reps primarily build strength, 6-12 reps optimize muscle hypertrophy, and 15+ reps build muscular endurance. Fitnit's AI automatically counts reps for supported exercises by detecting your body position through your phone's camera.
