-5 min. elliptical machine for warm-up

QUADRICEPS:
Leg Press

-10 x 4
-8 x 4.5
-6 x 5
-12 x 4.5
Quad extension
-12 x 3 plates

HAMSTRINGS:

-12 x 4 plates...(Don't really like this machine - have to find a different exercise. Any suggestions?)

CALVES:
Standing calf raise

-12 x 1 plate
-10 x 1.5
-8 x 2
-6 x 2.5
-12 x 1...(Can't do a heavier weight here yet)
No second exercise...my calves are already so large...I've got very muscular legs. I know the general argument that women's bodies aren't designed to get very big, but I really don't want bigger or more defined calf muscles than I already have. Anybody have any opinions/other information about this?

ABS:
Ab machine (lying down)

-12 x 1 plate
-10 x 1 plate
-8 x 2 plates

-12 x 1 plate
Ab machine (seated)

My abs are soooo weak! I'm thinking of sticking with these machines for the first four weeks, then progressing to a more intensive ab workout.
