so found the index of what I want to change, I created a new array newFavorites and increased a value on one of its keys (sets +1). But I am not sure how to return the new state with the updated key value.
case ADD_SETS:
const favToIncreaseSet = state.favoritedExercises.findIndex(fav => fav.id === action.payload.id);
const newFavorites = [...state.favoritedExercises];
let repIncreasedFav = newFavorites[favToIncreaseSet].sets + 1;
return { ...state, newFavorites}
