Repetitions or “Reps”:  Refers to a single full execution of an exercise movement.  For example, one repetition of a push-up involves beginning with your arms straight, lowering your body to the floor and returning to the starting position.  The number of repetitions you perform of a particular exercise will determine the type of benefit to your muscles.  Higher weights with lower repetitions will increase strength.  Lower weights with higher repetitions will increase endurance.


Routine:  This term encompasses virtually every aspect of what you do in an exercise session, including: the exercises, reps and sets you do of strength training, aerobic conditioning, the order in which you perform the exercises, the length of time spent.  To keep workouts interesting, many people change their routine from time to time.  Your routine is also referred to as your “program” or your “workout.”


Rheumatoid Arthritis:  An inflammatory disease that affects the facet joints in the spine as well as other joints in the body including the hands, elbows, shoulders, fingers and toes.


Ruptured Disk:  Herniated disk where material from the disk pushes through the outer lining of the disk.
