1. Make sure your get a physical from your physician before starting any workout routine, they will be the one
that can determine if you can do exercises.
2. If losing weight is a goal along with getting in shape a good nutritionist is a plus to make sure your eating the
correct things along with how much you eat. (there are a lot of excellent books out there also)
3. Should you decide to try this workout you and you alone are liable for any and all.

My routines are simple, you use lighter weights with higher repetitions, along with super sets or giant sets.

Generally I setup a 5 day routine, that takes me anywhere from 45 min to 60 min depending on the day.
I take Saturday off from everything and do YOGA on Sunday
I start off each day with 10-15 minutes of cardio, to warm up the body.
Then do 3 sets of 30 repetitions for each exercise, on a 5 day routine it is usually 3-4 exercises.
What I do is to use the first set (30 reps) of a workout to determine if I am using enough weight
I do that by seeing if I am struggling a bit when I hit 21 -23 on my rep count for that set
If I’m not then the next set I will increase the weight by 2-5 pounds (nothing more)
and go through the process again. Once you have the weight correct I write
it down as a starting point for next week of these exercises.
Always start off very light you can increase the weight later.
MAKE SURE YOU ARE DOING THE EXERCISE CORRECTLY!
FORM IS VERY IMPORTANT, AND ENSURES YOU DO NOT HURT
YOURSELF.
If you not sure of an exercise research it on the web or ask someone at the fitness center.
There are many ways to do the exercises if you do not have the same equipment.
You would be better off looking like a newbie then get hurt.
After 5 weeks of my routine I always take one week off from weights and do straight cardio.
It will give your body a chance to repair itself from the previous 5 weeks
