My Own excercise plan, Is it safe?

Senti Posts: 27 Joined: 2003/02/02	2003/08/08, 02:43 PM I made my own excercise plan, i wanted to get more ofa work out then i could get from the home rutean, but none of the others on the site would give me excercises that i oculd do with just dumbelss, since i cant get to the gym to use the mechines. I have 2 questions i would like to ask about this, 1) Is it a full body rutean, or am i missing something if so what? and is it an equal work out (i dont want huge pecks and no abs, or any other combinaiton) (i think im missing the back) 2) is it safe for me to do this, 3 time a week, i want to stay away form some of the complex or stranious excercises since i am a biggener, i dont want to do something that im at risk of messing up and hurting my self Chest Dumbbell Flat Bench Press: Push ups: Shoulders Front Dumbell Raises: Dumbbell Presses: Standing Lateral Raises: Seated Lateral Raises: Biceps Standing Dumbbell Curls: Triceps Dumbbell Kickbacks: Dips Behind the Back: Thighs & Glutes Squats: Lunges: Calves Calf Raises: Abs/ Obliques Twisting Crunches: Leg Raises: Lying Side Leg Raises: 4 sets each, 15 reps target, consistant weight thoguht the sets (ie, first set sida last lb, last set is 8 lb, first set dumbell cirly 12lb, last set 12lb, its not much weight but its a challange for me)

Glad to give some help... any questions message me! -eaglecheergirl

Most of these will hit the back a little as a secondary muscle group, but the only thing I can think of is some kind of chin-ups or you could try deadlifts with your dumbells. They are tricky for beginners though so be careful. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills
