Depending on the core movement that you do it varies.
For example:
If I do crunches, sit-ups, leg lifts, etc - I do higher reps. 3 - 5 sets of 20 - 30 reps.
If I'm doing stability ball squats, bosu ball lunges, etc. - I usually do 3 - 5 sets of 8 - 15 reps.
If I'm doing planks, side planks, etc. - I consider every 10 seconds that I hold the pose as 1 rep.
If I'm doing a YouTube video (Channels: Exercise TV or Fitness Blender) then I have a little notepad and pen beside me and record the numbers immediately following each movement. But I am type A (LOL). I think a lot of people will estimate the number of reps depending on the length of the video.0
