Need good workout program for women

[cassie_girl]

Hi there!

Cassie here. I'm 5'7" I weigh 133lbs and I want to know a weight/strength training program to gain lean muscles.

current routine is:
M,W,F - cardio at least 30mins (treadmill, cardio workout dvds)
T,Th,Sat - full body strength training

I find that strenth training workout is getting too easy for me cos I've been doing the same workout for 6weeks already. I want to change workout. I want to make use of dumbells and less gym machines.

Would you mind listing what you are currently doing for each muscle group,, in reps, sets, rest times if any, thanks.

Have you tried p90x yet? I was first intimated to start such a rigorous workout program but soon I felt better than I ever have in whole life and started seeing results almost immediately. I do LOVE the Abs/Core Plus workout in P90X+. It has a lot of hanging ab work, which can take some building up to, but it is a great workout for those of us who hate crunches.

About the Cardio Workouts: The cardio workouts in P90X are Kenpo X and Plyometrics. Plyometrics will kick your butt and give you a great cardio workout. It will likely also take you several weeks to build up the confidence in getting through the whole thing, but you will.
