Workout Routine

I have a friend who recently just became a personal trainer, and were were talking about how I wanted to tone up a bit and live a healthier lifestyle... Well since he was certified and is looking for a job, he wrote me up a workout that I've been trying for the past couple days.

Its two different workouts that are to be performed on alternating days for three days a week. For the days that that the workout is not being done, you can choose between cardio exercises or abdominal/core exercises.  If you being on Monday with workout A, then Wednesday will be workout B, and then on Friday it will be workout A again. Repeat the workout for 3 set of 12 starting out light then challenging yourself with heavier weights as you get use to the workout.

Workout A consists of 3 sets of 12 of

• sumo squat
• pushup
• machine row
• dumbbell curl
• bench dips *hyperextension
• ab exercise of choice

Workout B consists of 3 sets of 12 of

• dumbbell lunge
• stiff leg deadlift
• dumbbell press
• lat pulldown
• tricep kickback
• hammer curl
• glute bridge
• ab exercise of choice 

Here is the equipment I used for the bulk of the workout...

• the two pairs of dumbbells are 6 lbs. and 8 lbs.
• body bar was 8 lbs. 
• bench
• floor mat

After I finished the workout, I decided to do a little more core work so I used the bosu ball 

I did some alternating exercises on the bosu ball,  but all focusing on core.
