    You listed parts of anatomy, not components of an exercise routine. Read one of the New Rules of Lifting books and go from there

    Are you doing a program? You should try not to work the same muscles everyday, they need rest. Also, do you have access to a gym?

    You could do biceps and back 1x week,
    Chest, triceps and shoulders 1x, legs 1x, abs 1x, and pick one of them to do 2x. Or you could just do a upper/lower body split with 1-2 rest days.

    Bench press
    Deltoid flys
    Preacher curls
    Bicep curls
    Squats
    Deadlifts

    ^ those are probably some of the basics. You can change them up by doing them with dumbbells or on an incline :)

    sounds like you still aren't listening.

    And don't do chest on monday- newb mistake- everyone does it- you'll be fighting for equipment ALL day long.

    Look up
    Starting strength
    Strong lifts
    New rules of Lifting

    Seriously.
    when I said I did chest today- anyone I'm with will know that this mean (most likely)
    Bench
    DB Fly
    push up variation A
    push up Variation B
    Decline Cable Press/fly
    Cable Fly
    Incline Cable Fly

    saying "chest" just means you are working that area- not the exercises you are doing.

    Also- doing Biceps on one day and triceps on another day is not really efficient.

    Your lower body makes up - what 70% of your body- it needs more than one day of attention.

    Focus on compound lifts for now- it's more bang for your buck- there are plenty of programs available- plenty of form tutorials on line- and it's hard to go wrong with the gains you will see.

    Add in isolation work later- that's for detail work and not relevant to you right now.
