The full body routine is an excellent program guaranteed to give you results, make sure you do this routine on alternate days thereby giving the muscles a rest.With any exercise program always start with a 10 min. warm up get the muscles nice and warm before you work them or injuries may be the result. If you are a beginner you should start with 1 set of 15 repetitions, more advanced 2 -4 sets of 12-15 again this depends on your fitness goals, what level you are at etc. something to discuss with a Personal Trainer.

The Leg Press- Major Muscles Worked: Quads, Glutes; stabilizer muscles: hamstrings, calfs
The leg press machine is a great piece of equipment especially if you are a beginner, but it is great for all fitness levels. Important to make sure that you when you push forward you do not lock the knees and when you bring it back you stop at a 90 degree angle at the knee.

Chest Press- Major Muscles Worked: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps
The chest press is a great exercise; however if you are a beginner you may want to start with the Chest Press machine and again start with 1 set of 15 reps. Chose a weight that challenges you on the 13th rep.if it is to easy you have the muscle to accommodate so you need to move up.

The seated Row- Major Muscles Worked: Back, Biceps, Shoulders
there are many variations and different machines, free weight exercise that target the same muscles; however this is great for maintaining form.

Leg Curl- Major Muscle Worked: Hamstrings
contrary to the diagram the glutes are not the muscle being worked. There are other hamstring exercises that engage the glutes, ie ball curls, dead lifts etc.
however a great starting exercise is the leg curl.

Sit ups- save these for the end as your core muscles are needed for you to maintain proper posture, form you do not need to have a tiered core when you are trying to do a lunge as it will not be done correctly and this is when injuries happen.
With the abdominal they are an endurance muscle so they can take a bit more so 3 sets of as many as you can will work..I always tell my clients to do 2 more just for fun.
