Feedback on my routine pls :)

Hi

I've started my diet and fitness programme in earnest, and I'd like a bit of feedback on what I tend to do in the gym... as I'm a bit clueless really!

I tend to start by doing the treadmill - around 45mins on fast paced walk around 6.5 - I start on incline of 0 and then move up to 7 or 8 then back down, then jog for 5./10mins

Then I use the rowing machine for around 5-10mins

After I head to the bikes where I'll do 15mins or so

Then finally I move on to weights - I'll do 2xreps of 10 bicep curls with 2kg dumbells

Then sit ups using the exercise ball.

Does this sound like it'll actually *do* anything - I really want to lose weight and have well toned abs for the summer!

I've read that, after a warmup, you should do weights before cardio. The theory is that you have lots of energy to do the resistance training well and it will use up your readily accessible glycogen stores so that when you move on to cardio your body will have to convert fat for energy.
