Routine Critique

mrsamjones

I am by no means a body builder or fitness instructor. I have had to do several hours of research online to put together what I feel is a pretty decent workout routine for a beginner. I am looking for either approval for this routine or ways to improve it. Keep in mind I am a beginner and I also have Bi-lateral (both sides) Pulmonary Emboli (Blood clots in my lungs). Thanks!

The basis of this workout is that I do twelve reps of each of the exercises, excluding the cardio in the beginning, and as my body becomes adjusted to the weight I will increase it so that I am still only doing twelve reps but am doing them with heavier weights over time.
