Help w how to read a workout

[jothefanbeing]

Hi! I've only just started here, I'm halfway through Foundation. I'm really enjoying Darebee though (I hate exercise videos, the poster format really does it for me) so I was already looking through programs to pick out what I want to do next. I've settled on Back & Core and Unbound. However, Back & Core is formatted differently from Foundation and I'm a little confused. When it says "4 sets, 30 seconds rest" does it mean 30 seconds in between each set, or 30 seconds after I finish the 4 sets before moving on to the next exercise? I read through the workout manual page, but I couldn't quite figure it out unfortunately... I appreciate any help! Thank you.

I believe 30 seconds between each set and between each exercise.

Welcome to the Hive @jothefanbeing !

Back & Core uses a classic workout structure. You complete all sets of the first exercise before moving on to the next exercise. The rest time specified is after each set.

Yeah I had a hard time with that too at first - so if eg it says: 10 push-ups, 4 sets, 30 sec rest - that would mean do 10 push-ups, have a quick rest, then do 10 more, otherwise you'd be doing 40, right?

With Darebee its generally OK to just feel it out, there's no video to keep up with (although they have a ton on YouTube if you're ever not sure about a movement or what counts as a rep!) but you're free to adjust to your own abilities - so you can't really get it wrong - if it's too hard make it easier, if it's too easy make it harder
