This is my first shot at a gym log. So I hope that if you see something I'm doing wrong or can improve, you'll let me know now before it's too late.

The routine I started a few days ago is as follows.

1st, 3rd, and 5th day:

I got this routine from the beginners thread posted by trainerdan. Right now I'm only doing 1 set of each exercise until I can get used to lifting again.

Chest press 12x25#
Barbell Squat 15x30# each side of barbell
Seated Row 15x60#
Seated Shoulder Press 12x20#
Standing Calf Raise 15x10# each side of barbell
Lying Leg Curl 12x50#
Dumbbell Curl 12x20# (Gonna start using a barbell)
Lying Tricep Extension 12x10#
Ab Machine 12x70#
Cardio on treadmill/bike/stairclimber about a 40 minute workout

2nd, 4th, and 6th day

On these days I only do the cardio part of the workout.

7th day

Even God needed a day of rest on the 7th day.


I'm curious if this is good enough, or if it's actually too much to start. Please throw any advice/changes you think I should make.
