Hey,
Ive been going to the gym for about 2 months and although Im a complete newbie to gyms, Im really uncertain that the routine Ive been (kindly) provided with by the inhouse personal trainer is just something he's scribbled down and paper and Im going to have to train this routine for months before I notice any changes - So im asking where Im sure there are people that will be able to tell me if its any good
Im 28, 56kg (125lb) and 5'3" (I remembered from my assessment a couple of months ago that my fat mass was 18% making my lean mass 82% i think).
Anyway, down to details (the stuff in blue are my alterations, which Im not sure about so any input there would be REALLY appreciated too)
STRETCH
WARM UP - Bike @ 5 mins
TREADMILL - 12 minutes - INTERVALS x 1 minute @ 5mph / 7mph (6.5mph / 10.5 mph)
ASCENT (INCLINE CROSS TRAINER) - 12 minuters - INTERVAL INCLINE TRAINING
HIP ADDUCTOR - 2 sets x 20 @ 21kg (2 sets x 20 @ 14kg)
HIP ABDUCTOR - 2 sets x 20 @ 21kg (2 sets x 20 @ 14kg)
CHIN ASSIST - 2 sets x 8 @ 43kg (counter weighted)
LAT PULL DOWN - 2 sets x 15 @ 14kg (2 sets x 15 @ 21kg)
CHEST PRESS - 2 sets x 15 @ 21kg
SEATED ROW - 2 sets x 15 @ 14kg
LEG PRESS - 2 sets x 15 @ 21kg
PLANK - 2 @ 30 seconds (2 @ 1 minute)
COOL DOWN - Bike @ 3 mins
Added the last two on as I didnt see why I shouldnt be using them seeing as they are there! lol
Any comments Id be grateful for, Ive had a bit of a read of others routine and there are eyepopping, all different weights and different reps...arghhh very confusing...perhaps its because im novice and it will all make sense soon
Thanks very much

P.S. Ive alo made a mental note to do weights before my cardio, though it will feel a bit weird going against what my personal trainer has advised...hope he doesn't mind! Jezzz i need to get a backbone...are there any exercises for that
