Does anyone know of a website that help me generate my own, customized workout? When at the gym, I would like some kind of schedule that I can have written down that tells me it's leg day or chest day. Or even which body parts should be worked together? TIA

I use an iPhone App called Gain Fitness. Some of the exercise packs cost, but it does a good job of letting you set up and schedule workouts. It lets you book sets and reps for each exercise and even times the rest periods.0

It depends on your goals really, but the first thing that came to my mind was "...and what do you know about putting together a routine?".
I say this so much on this site I swear I should buy stock, but buy and read New Rules of Lifting for Women. I swear to god you won't regret it, it's an excellent book about the fundamentals of exercise. It even has a good program at the end for you.0 -
I know very little about putting together a routine. Right now, this is my routine:
Monday- 30 Min. HIIT on the bike
Weights: chest, shoulders, triceps, abs
15 Min. elliptical
Tuesday-30 min. Treadmill
Weights: back, biceps, abs
15 Min. bike
Wednesday-30 Min. HIIT on the bike
Legs, butt, abs
15 Min. Treadmill
Thursday-30 min. Treadmill
Weights: chest, shoulders, triceps, abs
15 Min. elliptical
Friday-30 Min. HIIT on the bike
Weights: Weights: back, biceps, abs
15 Min. Treadmill
Saturday-30 Min. HIIT on the bike
Legs, butt, abs
15 Min. ellipitcal
My goals? To lose weight, be stronger, and learn a lot as I go.
I'll order the book today. Thank you, for the advice.0 -

Judging by your question I would venture to say that you do not currently possess the requisite knowledge to sculpt your own routine. There are numerous tried and true routines out there and you should probably do one of those and reap the benefits. Creating your own routine requires a substantial amount of knowledge...it is far more than just "leg day" or "chest day" or whatever...effective programming is very difficult and their are any number of professionals who've already provided you with tried and true templates to use.
For starters, "New Rules of Lifting for Women" and really, any of the "New Rules" library. Starting Strength is an excellent introduction to barbell training and the knowledge learned here will serve you well into advanced stages of lifting. Strong Lifts 5x5 is similar to SS but utilizes a 5x5 format vs SS's 3x5 format...I am partial to the 3x5 format for beginners, particularly if you're at in a calorie deficit to lose weight. The list goes on and on, but I would rank those three tops for beginner lifters.
Utilizing a proper routine is going to garner you the most efficient gains/results possible...trying to invent your own routine is going to leave you spinning you wheels and wasting a lot of valuable time.0 -
At JeFit you can create your own routine from the exercises in their database. The App can be used then with the routine during workout. They have routines there that can be modified which is probably a better starting point. It is free for an user account & their App is free. Users can share routines with particular friends or submit them to the database there for everyone.0
