I have been using the Body For life weights routine for waay too long and am now seeing minimal results from it. Does anyone have some good weights routines for me?

    What are your goals? Fat loss? Strength? or Building muscle?

    Moreso toning than anything. I dont have a huge amount to lose, and I dont need to gain anymore muscle, but i get bored of the routines I do and my body is so used to them that it barely registeres, even when i up the weights i am using...

    Bodybuilding.com has some pretty good routines. I believe for toning you will want to stay in the 8 to 12 rep range. If you get bored, or if your muscles get used to your routine, change it up a bit, by working your muscle in a different way. I believe it is recommended to change your routine about every 6 to 8 weeks.

    I did BFL 12 weeks program and then got The New Rules of Lifting for Women. I started their routine 6 weeks ago and have seen great results. Worth a read IMHO.

    P.S. I have also done 30 Day Shred, Ripped in 30 and am 3/4 way through Body Revolution ... These are all great routines that have yielded results for me.

    Good Luck!

    ETA: all the PS workouts are from Jillian Michaels.

    Hi Hedgiie, Will have a look at the site, but I want something I can do at the gym (need to earn the points to keep medical aid costs down) so the videos are not high on my list! Thanks anyway, I appreciate the replies. (We dont have Walmart in South Africa, yet, but her videos are easy to get hold of :))

    Here's a very simple one (don't confuse 'simple' with 'easy', though!):

    It consists of basic compound movements and has progression built into the routine.

    Can one do the JE program at home with just free weights?
