sry for this stupid question but my english isnt that good so i dont understand some words that are used in the articles here.

1.what does Cardio mean? and what does it do?

2.when it says 10-20 reps, does that mean 10-20 repeats? like you do 10-20 situps?

3.what does the word "set" mean here? example: Upper Abs, 3 sets

thank yall for helping :D

no man that aint a stupid question.alot of people dont know half this bodybuildin crap.anyways 1.cardio is short for cardiovascular excercise.it is runnin on a treadmill or joggin stuff like that.it burns fat real good and makes your heart and lungs stronger.2.ye reps is how many times you lift the weight and 3.a set is usually 8-12 reps but u can make a set of any number of reps im a powerlifter so i drop my sets to 4-6 reps but u can do as many as u want one time i did 2 sets of 100 on leg extension man it sucked i was sore for a week i almost cried.
