New workout
Howdy, everyone.
I just finished my first bout with a personal trainer. He set me up on a four day per week training schedule. I'd be happy to share this schedule with anyone who wants it. Just send me an e-mail and I'll send a .pdf back. It's formatted in four strips. I've laminated them, and taped them to my water bottle to refer to while working out.
I really like my trainer. He has a background in Physical Therapy, so his movements are really functional, and whole-body minded. Each day is a combination of warm-up, core, and specific body section. The days are 1. Chest, 2. Bicep/tricep, 3. legs, 4. Shoulders/back
Most of the program is done with minimal equipment. The only equipment system is Free Motion, which is a cable based program. You can see the equipment at:

to get the gist of how the movements go.
Ok, hear from ya later.

Looks like a great program.
Some people skip two areas, which can hinder growth or allow more injury: legs and shoulders/ upper back.
If you have paltry hamstrings, for example and something happens and say...ou have to sprint, the concentric contraction of the hamstrings could injure you right off. Similarly, if the muscles of the upper back are not worked, as well as all sides of the deltoid the rotator cuff can tear much more easily during exercise or in a fall or accident.
Glad you've found a good trainer,
