Would sticking to this circuit be appropriate for a beginner? Looking for an easy routine to stick to for a few months to get in the habit.
Due to medical reasons, I need to use machines rather than free weights for stabilization.

    Yes, I use most of them, but only start with 2 machines (1 upper and 1 lower) and add more gradually whilst upping the weights.

    I recently started and I use the EXACT same machines. (Same brand and all). I started with a "push" day and a "pull" day. I have been doing it for about 5 weeks after doing nothing in the strength training area for a good decade or so.

    I haven't had any issues so far and I have already increased the weight on nearly all of the machines.

    I think machines give us beginners a good base to work with and then add in other things as we go.
