Need steady workout...help!

2006/02/03, 11:30 PM I'm 22, 5'5, 120 lbs and had a baby almost a year ago. I used to be very athletic and had a great body. After the baby I lost a ton of muscle and am now very scrawny and want to bulk up. I've been going to the gym for 3 weeks now. My husband gave me a workout that goes something like this: Day 1: Legs Day 2: Back/Bi's Day 3: Shoulders Day 4: Chest/Tri's Day 5 if day 5: H.I.I.T./Abs Throwing in 2 rest days and calves and abs twice a week not similtaneously sometimes on rest days. I do 3 sets of 10 on 4 different lifts per muscle group(ie. Day 2: 4 different lifts(movements) for back and four different lifts for Bi's all at 3 sets of 10). But my program designed on here said this workout: DAILY TRAINING SPLIT Monday | Day 1 - legs Tuesday | Day 2 - shoulders - calves Wednesday | Day 3 - rest Thursday | Day 4 - back - forearms - abs Friday | Day 5 - chest - calves Saturday | Day 6 - triceps - biceps - abs Sunday | Day 7 - rest It says I should do 4 sets of 20 down to 12,10, or 8. It also has my only doing one or two different lifts for each muscle group. I don't feel as good after these workouts as I do from my first but I don't know what I SHOULD be doing for my body. Please help. Again I do not want to lose any weight and I just want to build up muscle and sculpt my body. P.S. If anybody has a great ab routine let me know..I need to tighten up my baby belly! :) Thanks!
