Exercise the exercise you are to perform
Reps how many repetitions you are to perform of each exercise
Intensity how much weight you are to use for the exercise
Sets how many sets you are to perform in your workout

For example 1-1-1 shows that the contraction takes 1 second, you hold the contraction for 1 second, and the release is for 1 second
Rest how much rest you should take in-between sets
