Not sure why this has "weight training" in the subject line... Looks like all bodyweight work. And it does look overly complex - there's a lot of overlap in the exercises. How are you planning on judging progress?

What are your goals and what do you have access to?

the number of whatever it is you are doing is really irrelevant. What matters is how hard you push yourself each workout, and what your goals are. Whatever it is you listed above sounds like my leg day warm up. If you did that circuit about 10 times, you might be close to a fitness routine.

Some of the squats i wanted to use weights with. I thought it would come under it due to that. I guess not.

I have dumbells, squat rack, home gym and floor matts to use for alot of them and some pull up exercise thing my hubby bought i would use for a few things like.

I want to lose fat on my legs, i judge progress by clothing and weight, but mainly clothing. Goals are just to do an effective workout really and get as much as possible from the exercises. Thats why i do alot of the sam exercise just slightly different.

I take it then it does not matter what type of lunge or squats i do (jump, normal, weighted) i just thought mixing it up would burn fat quicker i guess.

Thanks for the reply

If your goal is to get strong simplify, with Starting Strength very simple routine, or knock off SL 5x5

I dont know how to take that sonya as it seems like your insulting me... if your not great if you are and saying im not pushing myself hard enough, Im not a professional. Im a mum of a 2 yr old trying to get fit. Thanks i think for the advice depending on what way your directing it to me.

i wasn't meant to be insulting. anything you do is better than nothing. whether that workout is enough for you or too much depends on how you feel after and if you pushed yourself and what your goals are. if your goal is to lose weight, thats all in your diet.
