What super-setting does: when you overload your muscles by moving with little or no rest between pairs of complimentary exercises. For example, if your performing a leg press, then you immediately want to go into a dumbbell lunge, or you can jump rope for 2 minutes between each exercise.
Super-setting is an advanced technique geared towards stimulating your muscles into a growth spurt. The extra demand placed on your muscle groups requires additional recovery time. Especially, if your body is not used to the new technique or stimuli.
Ideally, you want to rest about 1 minute after concluding the last exercise of the super-set. You can optimally do 3, 4, or 5 exercises in a row before resting. But that all depends on your fitness level and personal goal. This is a great technique to maximize your time spent in the gym, and squeeze in a quick 30 minute workout on your break.
