Also guys as you get accustomed to lifting dont be afraid to increase the amount of sets for each exercise by 1 set or keep the same amount of sets but add in another exercise for each muscle group.0

Thats brilliant, exactly the thing that I've been looking for. I'm waiting for a gym to open near me (mid July) and only have 3 sets of weights the max being 1.5kg each. Can't wait to get in the gym and do some hardcore strength training :happy:0

don't use ankle weights unless you want injuries.
I have used ankle weights for years and do leg lifts while lying on the floor and have never hurt myself doing it.0 -

Ok here is the program/split. To keep it simple try to do 8 reps for every set. If you can do 10 reps, raise the weight for the next set, if you can only do 7 reps or less ,lower the weight for your next set. Also try to limit your rest periods between sets to between 1 minute and 1 minute and 30 seconds. I choose to do my cardio and abs on my off days but you can mix them in to fit your schedule/ needs etc. Also please dont be intimidated by lifting!! (we all were when we started but quickly realized that there wasnt anything to be scared of)
