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.

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

    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!!

    3. Dumbbell Military Press – 3 sets – 6 to 10 reps per set
