Length of Time 45 minutes/ 2 times a week
Warm up for 10 minutes
Increase by one minute/workout and stay at a maximum of 30 minutes (treadmill/cross trainer/stepper/bike)
Strength = 2 sets per exercise and 15 reps/set
Chest = Butterfly and Chest Press
Back = Lat Pulldown

Reverse butterfly
Bicep = Bicep Curls Tricep = Tricep Extension
Squads = Leg Press Hamstring = Leg Curl
ABS = Crunches and AB machine
Note:
Start with a lighter weight, decreasing the chance of injury and so it does not hurt as much after the workout. One minute rest between each set!
Try to increase the number of reps to 20/set and then go up to 3 sets. This should take 2 to 3 weeks and should be increased only after you can do the three sets comfortably, increasing the weight. This is very important!
Stick to this program for a maximum of 8 weeks and then ask your fitness instructor for new and different exercises.
