Thread: Routine Help or Advice

What's up everyone.

I'm new to working out consistently, but I want it to become habit. I was hoping to get some feedback as to what I've been doing for the past few weeks. I feel quite lost in my apartments gym and I'm not sure I'm doing anything correctly (reps/sets).

I am looking to build strength and be physically fit. I'm not looking to be completely ripped. Muscle definition is great + a bit of added bulk I suppose would be cool too.

First off, it's all machines except for dumbbells.

What I've been doing is (5-6 sets, 8 reps of each) - every other day, I run on the other days taking one or 2 days off each week.

Chest Press
Lat Pulls
Shoulder Press
Curls (25 lbs)
Leg Press
Leg Curls
Leg Extensions

I set the weight on most of these so that it gets tough around 7 or 8 reps... on occasion, I only get through 4 or 5 on a set and really start to struggle. So I guess this is good for having a tough work out.

So then just a few questions,

Do you think this is adequate for what I want to do?

Am I hitting the right muscles for a well-rounded physique?

How much break should I give myself between sets for these?


THANKS! for any help.
