Hiyah Pam Just looking over those exercises and I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in!

You might want to try switching the order of a few of the exercises for a more effective workout. Your chest press should be your primary exercise and the flyes the secondary one; you want the compound exercise done first and the isolating ones as the 'finishing off' exercise. The chest press involves many muscle groups whereas the fly tends to focus on which ever part of the pec you are aiming for (depending on incline / decline / flat positioning).

Same for the leg extensions / leg press. You'll notice the stretch and separation in the quads with the extensions a lot more if you do them after a compound move such at a squat or leg press.

Triceps: try the press downs first followed by the extensions or kickbacks - it'll hurt a lot more the next day

Cheers,
Nat
