My advice is to not try and build your own workout routine unless you are in top physical form and know exactly how to create a balanced routine/what your specific weaknesses are.
Any of the many many free routines out there should help you tremendously.
Stronglifts, Starting Strength, or head over to bodybuilding.com and check out their free routines section... etc.0 -

^^^This. It takes years of experience to design an effective program. Find a pre-made one that fits your goals, and stick with it. When in doubt, just go with one of the beginner full-body barbells routines (such as those mentioned by @rainbowbow ), and figure out where to go next after you've spent a year on so on those.1

Do you want size, strength, or endurance

If you insists on building your own program, at least make sure you have exercises for all the big muscle groups. So, legs, chest, back, shoulders, abs. The rest is pretty much optional, depending on whether you feel you need them, you are working them through your other exercises or not etc.

@fluffygio
I would definitely look into finding a workout designed by someone who knows what they're doing. Lift 3 days, do cardio 3 days. Also, the abs are a muscle, they need rest too, stop doing them every day.1 -
Yea find a structured workout. You need more compound lifting in your routine and less of the vanity lifts.1

Vanity lifts?1 -
As others have said, follow a structured routine.1

Vanity lifts?
Accessory lifts? I've heard them called both, not looking to get into a war of semantics. But essentially single muscle lifts rather then compound.

Me neither. I just don't understand what people have against isolation exercises. They are very beneficial when combined with compound movements.2 -

Lol. No one is hating on curls for the girls.You need more compound lifting in your routine and less of the vanity lifts.
...is what was written. Which is good advice. OP is literally doing bis, tris, and abs.

They're not useful in many cases. But man, those full body ego curls are so sweet.1 -

Yes. Basically full body lifts starting out. Accessory work as necessary as you progress.
Walking is just mild cardio - it isn't leg day. At a minimum you should be doing squats and deadlifts for legs.

You're missing shoulders, legs, and back.... I completely agree with everyone else find a real lifting program esp. As a newbie.
Bodybuilding.com is a good place to start IMO. Look for a routine with compound lifts, squats, bech, deadlift.0
