Age: 21
Weight: 116 lbs
Height: 5'4
Goals: Toning / Building Strength (add some muscle, especially on legs for curves) / Improve Posture / Build an Ass + show some abs
Hello. I just recently joined a gym (its small gym but close) beginning of this month.
I went on Friday and Tuesday this week.
GYM MACHINES AVAILABLE
Cardio stuff - elliptical, treadmill, row thingie, bicycle
Incline Chest Press machine
Leg Press machine (can also do calf exercise)
Ab Crunch machine
Hip Abduction & Adduction machine
Leg Extensions with Lying Leg Curls machine
Lats and rows machine
Captains Chair
Pull up bar
And machines I don't know how to use:
Pulley machine
Multi Hip machine
(FYI: highest free weights is 4 kg)
MY ROUTINE 45-60mins
- Elliptical "Glute" Cardio - 5-8 mins
- I try to do 3x12-15 on each weights machine (except: leg extensions, I usually do leg curls then get tired.. and can't do too much on chest machine i suck so much at it.. I try to do the best i can but its too much for me).
- Then I finish off with 3x15 squats + 4kg hammer curls and tricep curls until my muscle tires.
QUESTIONS & CONCERNS
- So, please rate my routine and help me improve it to cater my goals, I will try and increase weights every week.. I plan on going 2-3 days/week until November 1.
- One of my goals is to learn to do pull ups and push ups. I can't do 1... is it because of poor upper strength?
- Also, I'm scared because I heard some of the machines I was using this week were bad
hip abduction&adduction/ab crunch/leg extensions+lying leg curls
( source; )
- And also, i should feel soreness the next day to know that I will have results soon yes?
Thank you, any help is appreciated.
