    I do four different types of squats 4 sets of 10 each and 6 different arm workouts 4 sets of 15 each. I was thinking about adding some abdominal workouts on my rest days.

    What are the moves and how much weight are you using for them? Honestly, 4 sets of 15 sounds like cardio. I'm not going to advise you what to do because it's not clear what you're doing now. Why the random exercises? There is no reason to ever work out single muscles (like the abs). Squats do that for you.

    Well, I took some squats from this video http://youtu.be/afghBre8NlI and turned then into sets and I took some ideas from a lady I'm following on Instagram for tge weights. Didn't really know where to start so I'm here. Definitely going to look up those lifting programs though. Thanks!

    For strength training, lift weights.

    For cardio, lift weights faster.

    You should try a full body, progressive, strength training program. Plenty out there. Here is some useful info:

    The most workout a lady should be doing is a slow nightly walk, which is cardio.



    Only hot dames and hussys do squats and dead-lifts.

    Word, brother. The only thing my dame should lift is my meatloaf to the dinner table.

    I don't even let mine out of the kitchen that long, she's got tamales to make.

    It's called a stroll fellas, and I know my place. I make sammiches and meatloaf and I NEVER sweat.

    I glow. Also prancercize, it's ok. It is like the elevated heartrate workout for us ladies.

    I've attached a VERY helpful video outlining how it's done.
