Sharing workout routines?

[Esteban73K5]

My Wife and I have recently joined a gym together and want to get started on a workout routine. We are both new to this and have never been on any sort of continual workout routine.

I have found a workout routine that I plan on following and would like to get your opinions for both of us useing it. I would use lower reps at higher wieghts and she would do higher reps at a lower weight. Only thing that I can think of that would be a big problem is the length of time we would be at the gym each day.


There would be 3 sets of each.
Day 1
Bench Press - 6-10 Reps
Incline Bench Press - 6-10 Reps
Decline Bench Press - 6-10 Reps
Dumb Bell Flies - 6-10 Reps
French Press - 6-10 Reps
Skull Crushers - 6-10 Reps
Dips - 6-10 Reps
Crunchs - 12-15 Reps
Oblique Crunchs - 10-12 Reps
V-crunchs - 12-15 Reps

Day #2
Ez Bar Curl - 6-10 Reps
Hammer Curls - 6-10 Reps
Preacher Curls - 6-10 Reps
Concentration Curls - 6-10 Reps
Lat Pull Downs Or Pull Ups - 6-10 Reps
One Arm Row - 6-10 Reps
Reverse Dumb Bell Flies - 8-12 Reps
Full Body Crunchs - 12-15 Reps
Oblique V-up - 8-10 Reps
Reverse Crunchs - 12-15 Reps

Day 3
Leg Extensions - 6-10 Reps
Lying Leg Curls - 6-10 Reps
Standing Calf Raises - 10-12 Reps
Lunges - 8-10 Reps
Squats - 6-10 Reps
Upright Row(close Grip) - 6-10 Reps
Milatary Press - 6-10 Reps
Lateral Raises - 8-12 Reps
Dumb Bell Shrugs - 8-10 Reps
Weighted Crunchs - 12-15 Reps
Alternate Bicycle - 25 Reps
Hanging Leg Raises - 12-15 Reps

Any recomendations would be greatly appreciated.

That workout is ok if your not putting any effort in.
If you wanna work to your full potential you should be doing 3-5 weight lifting exercises per work out. there are far too many exercises there for a human to get thru.

There are 5 exercises you need for a balenced workout, they are.

bench press
squat
dead lift, clean and press
hanging leg raise
and chin ups

the less you do the more effort you can put into each one.

This is what I do.

for Cardio I do 20mins sprint every day.
weights :-

workout 1
each time 5sets of 4-5
hanging clean, double press
dead lift, double clean
dead lift with shrug.
Dumbell shoulder press

workout 2
bench press wide grip
cable chest flye
wide grip chin up
nutral grip lat pull down (cable)

workout 3
front squat
back squat
hanging leg raise
decline sit ups with weights.

That is more than enough, Even many strength trainers think thats too much.

Gyms think its safer to train on machines and do lots of diffrent exercises, but you'll end up looking ike a bodybuilder. Big muscles but no flexibility.
if you lift like this you'll have realistic usable strength.
