Help with new weights routine/suggestions?

meghanduprey

Hey all, I was wondering if you could take a look at my new weights routine and let me know what I should add/subtract?
Here's what I came up with on my own after looking at some websites that were recommended, I am doing 3 sets of 10 reps so that the last set I can barely do it

Chest press with dumbbells
Lat pulldown machine
Shoulder press with dumbbells
biceps curl
Machine row
triceps pulldown machine (the one with the rope)
squat machine

I feel like I should be doing more exercises, but i'm also coming from a history of doing cardio for an hour and a half at a time so this feels like a short workout. Also, I am just starting out with weight training, today was only my second time doing it. I will add that I do have some knee/shoulder injuries to work around.
Thanks all, I really appreciate your help.

Generally rows go before bicep curls, because exercises that work many muscle should go before exercises that work few muscles.. generally speaking.
There are other changes i would make. But rather than reinvent the wheel, why not follow one of the existing programs that have been proven to work, like NROL4W, Stronglifts, etc.

This ^^^ Use an already established programs that will provide guidance on sets/reps, sequence, how often to lift and when to increase weights. If you don't have experience just putting together a set of exercise gleamed from the internet is probably not the best idea. Most good programs provide balanced workouts. I would add All Pro's routine as a recommended choice.

Beginners should follow an established program like strong lifts, nrol4w or strong curved
