I am so proud of my wife starting to workout/lift. It is fun to workout with her in the mornings. I am setting up a short workout program for her. If any of my followers have any suggestions I would welcome them. Here is what I have so far:
3 Days a week: MWF, It is a modified Cube Method program.
M – Legs/Shoulders/Abs – Back Squat, Leg Extension/Curl, Dumbbell Press, Shoulder Raise Complex, V-Leg Raise
W – Chest/Arms/Abs – Flat Bench, Tricep Kickback, Bicep Curl, Plank
F – Back/Abs – Deadlift, Bent Over Row, Straight Leg Deadlift, Reverse Hyperextension, Crunch
60% Dynamic – 70% Reps – 80 % Max
Cube Week 1: M W F
Cube Week 2: F M w
Cube Week 3: W F M
Cube Week 4: 30% Deload for each exercise
Go Karmen! This workout looks pretty much like the one Luke wrote for me when I started.

I was a 59 year old blob of overweightness and no strength when I started at home with 3 and 5 pound dumbbells, so keep that in mind. I now go to the gym to lift 3 to 5 days a week and still do some things at home some nights with heavier weights. I can dead lift 145 now. My favorite lift! I’m on the third workout plan Luke has written for me. This current one is a 21 week plan based on Siege Strengthetics. For my birthday Luke gave me a Matt Kroc book Insane Workout!
My very first work out plan! Awww!!

Chest/triceps
1. Dumbbell press – 3 sets – 5 to 10 reps per set
2. Standing 1 arm overhead tricep extension – 3 sets (each arm) 6 to 10 reps (each arm)
3. Dumbbell Military Press – 3 sets – 6 to 10 reps per set
