what kind of strength training do you do? I HATE weightlifting but know how important it is. Did you follow a program?

I thought I hated strength training... and then I had someone show me what I was doing and now I'm in love with it.

I won a contest through my local news station and my prize was a month of 3x/week personal training. It was fabulous.
I learned how to use all of the different machines and how to maintain proper form and how to know if I was using a weight that was too light.

Now, on strength days (I probably do them 3-4 days a week), I go through the basic routine I learned from the trainer:

10 minute warm-up (usually the treadmill or elliptical)
Lower body (leg press, leg extension, leg curls, abductors, adductors, weighted wall squats)
Upper body (bicep curls, chest press, cable flyes, lat pull-downs, assisted pull-ups, dips, push-ups)
Core/Back: crunches (with a medicine ball, bicycle crunches, and with resistance bands), pelvic lifts (these are my favorite).
And then the dreaded plank - I can do a 2 minute plank, but someday I want to be able to get up to 5 minutes.
5-10 minute cool down.
The whole thing takes around 45 minutes, maybe an hour tops.

I do heavy weights, few reps, and go slowly - 4 seconds to initial extension/contraction and then 6 seconds on the negative.

I really, really want to do free weights but I am afraid of not knowing what I'm doing so unless someone shows me or I can afford to hire a trainer, I will just stare longingly in that direction every time I go to the gym.


ETA (just because): I love eating my exercise calories.

Okay, I know what MOST of those things are and can look up the rest i'm sure? How many reps?

I try to do the heaviest weight I can so I can't do more than 8 reps with perfect form.
