a set is a certain number of repetitions.
a workout is a number of sets of different kinds, developing various muscle groups.
Sets and repetitions are closely related in a workout. Sets help to organize the number of repetitions performed for a given exercise. For example, if an individual is performing push-ups, they may aim to do three sets of ten repetitions each. This means they will perform ten push-ups, rest, repeat for a total of three sets.

Ideally, as an individual progresses in their workouts, they may aim to increase the number of repetitions per set, or add more sets to challenge themselves and continue building strength and endurance.
