As one of my new year's resolutions, I decided to start lifting some iron. Would anyone do me a favor and look at my workout routine and tell me how effective (or ineffective) it is and what I can make changes to:
I do this routine Monday-Wednesday-Friday
5 min run on treadmill
Stretches
1 set 10 reps Heel-High Sit-Ups
1 set 10 reps (changed to 15 on Wed. then 20 on Fri.) Flat-Footed Medium-Stance Freehand Squats
1 set 10 reps (15 Wed., 20 Fri.) Stiff-Legged Barbell Good Mornings
1 set 12 reps Medium-Grip Barbell Bench Press
1 set 12 reps Standing Palm-In One-Arm Dumbbell Presses
1 set 12 reps Straight-Arm Dumbbell Pullovers
1 set 12 reps Standing Dumbbell Triceps Curls
1 set 12 reps Standing Close-Grip Barbell Curls
Stretches
This was my routine for the first week. For the second week, I will be upping some of those to 2 sets instead of 1.
Also, I'm skinny not fat, so losing weight is not the issue, gaining weight is.
