Okay......

Cardio 10 min. warm up - can use 1st set at a lower weight as a warm up use say a 50 % of max for 12-20 rep range.

try a different workout for each day your in the gym.

go from biggest to smallest muscles for your workout and use more compound instead of isolated movements...better results (is your goal, strength, size, endurance, ...?)

so....

legs, back, chest, abs, shoulders, arms

Squats, deadlifts, lunges, rows, pull-ups, push-ups, etc.

cheers

This isn't you common workout. I use HIT, so there is only 1 set. And there is a 2 week rotation on the exercises. Thanks for the comments.

hmmm, didn't mention any rotation to start with....

Only going through that one time? - Why, are you a +60 year old only trying to keep moving and not worried about strength or muscle growth or fat burning?

try it 3 times through with 2-5 minute rest between and it would be more effective

Swanso's right, trash the the 3 leg excercises and do squats!!!!!

Once again, back before chest and shoulders and arms.

cheers

PS working out means just that, work!

Yeah, should have mentioned the rotation. I tried the multi set workouts and had mixed results, and decided for myself that the high intensity single set to be the most productive. I do a 4-2-4 rep, with about a 30 second break between exercise.

clients seem to prefer the lighter weight/multi set work-outs, and the compound over the isolation exercises, and they have mixed results so I try to tailor their workouts for what goals they are trying to reach. Mine, its just to get back into shape after having surgery this summer. Thanks for the input.

Ah, that makes more sense now.

I admit, I've tried it but never felt like I accomplished anything by the time I hit the shower. Over the month I tried it, results were very minimal. But, we all know everyone's body and mind is different, so if its working for you, have at 'er!

cheers
