Having gotten to within ten pounds (depending on the day) of my goal weight primarily through diet and cardio, I've decided to add a weight routine in order to improve definition and help work off that last ten pounds.

With that in mind, I've looked at adding the following exercises thrice a week, in addition to my sessions on a Gazelle Glider. I'd appreciate feedback to see whether I'm missing or overtaxing any particular muscle groups especially.

Disclaimers: I have balance issues and knee problems that make standard deadlifts into episodes in Face Plant Theatre, and my workout space has low enough ceilings to prohibit me from fully extending my arms above my head from a standing position.

Proposed routine:
Romanian Deadlift/Reverse Curl supersets 3 sets 8-10

Dumbell flyes/Skull Crusher supersets 3 sets 8-10

Bent-Arm Pullovers 3 sets 8-10

Cocoons x25

Dumbell Sidebends x25 per side.

Thanks in advance for your time and any constructive feedback.

    There really isn't much there. Looks more like what someone does after their workout to kill some extra time.


    Can you do seated military press?
    decline push ups?
    Floor press?
    Bench press?
    Squats or lunges of any sort?

    "Isn't much there" because muscle groups are missed, or what do you mean? If muscle groups are indeed being missed, I'd appreciate more info on which ones are neglected.

    Note that I'm adding this to my preexisting routine, which should be open.
