    I have only been going to the gym for 3-4 weeks, but I've already seen improvements. So far I've only been using the machines, I don't want to venture into the free weights section until I've built up a bit more upper body strength. It's pathetic compared to my thunder thighs!

    I go for 3 sets of 8 reps.

    Hip adduction/inner thigh: 176lb (80kg)
    Hip abduction/outer thigh: 187lb (85kg)
    Seated leg press: 165lb (75kg)
    Abdominals/crunch: 55lb (25kg)
    Shoulder press: 22lb (10kg)
    Chest press: 33lb (15kg)
    Triceps press: 39lb (17.5kg)
    Biceps curl: 22lb (10kg) - per arm.

    I think that's it!

    Bench Press: 65 w/bar
    Incline Bench Press: 70 w/bar
    Shoulder Press: 2 - 17.5 (barbells)

    Not sure why I can't edit my post.

    Anyways - I noticed on the shoulder press I listed barbell but I use 2 dumbbells. Oops!
