1. I always start with a 15 minutes of yoga to strech up and add tonus to those small muscles you ain't using all that often. (you can find yoga DVD at almost every department store) Then I go on to the main course: Using dumbells I start with 8 to 12 standing Arnold press, then I imidiatelly do 8 to 12 pull ups then imidiatelly I do 8 to 12 bench press (with dumbells lying on an exercise ball) Afterwards I do 30 sit-up and a minute on my back with my legs up 4 inch from the ground. I do this 3 times in a row all of this 3 times week I dont know if it will work for you but it worked well for me. Hope you get lots of succes with your work out!
2. I like to start with moves that combine as many muscles groups as you can. Like squats, push ups, bench presses, and lunges. Do yoga and stretching, and sprints if you need to lose weight. But after 4 to 6 weeks you will plateau, which means you'll stop seeing any improvements more matter how much you do. To get past the plateau you need to change the types of weight lifting you do, change your whole routine, drastically. If you keep doing the same things they will stop giving you results. Google weight lifting routines to give you ideas. I also include a lot of different free weight exercises. Get creative, there is no magic formula except what you find works for you.
