> Adds 1 set option for all beginner first 4 week exercises that do not already have it.
> The min - max rep range for Strength, Muscle, Strength & Muscle, Muscle & Endurance, or Toning & Endurance goals descriptions have been changed to show only rep minimums. Weight increases next workout after the maximum reps are achieved. HELPER chooses the maximum reps that when the minimum reps are performed with the new weight the 1RM is about the same.
