Need suggestions for weight lifting schedule

Hi!

I’ve just joined the community but I have some experience with having a trainer. I no longer have the funds for a personal trainer but I would really like to start lifting again. Without direction I always feel lost walking around the free weights and machines. I find myself asking “Should I do legs today? Or chest? Maybe the arms? I did 5 machines 15 x 3 reps each... is that enough?” I’m so unsure of myself. So I’m looking for suggestions.

What is your schedule usually? Such as: Monday is leg day and I usually do 7 different leg exercises at 3 sets of 20.

Or where should a “Beginner but not really” start when working on their own for a muscle gain- fat loss regimen?

In case it helps... I lost about 15 lbs in 3 weeks doing cardio and calorie cutting alone. I kind of weight lift but without direction it’s not consistent. I’m in the middle of a calorie cutting deficit so I’m not sure how much muscle building I would actually be doing anyway.

Thanks!

Hi and Welcome,

Newb to the forums myself, but have been lurking for awhile.

For starters, I suggest looking at the stickied link titled Beginers Guide to Female Body Building and Fitness (sorry, i can't post the link)
It has a tonne of useful information in it re: programs, nutrition, etc.

The actual program you select however is totally dependent on what your goals are, and how much time you can [U]consistently[/U] dedicate to it for a few months. Just keep in mind that there is no 'perfect' workout, just a most 'optimal' according to your goals - hence why there are so many variations out there.
Good luck on your journey

That’s really helpful! Thanks!

There are programs on here.
I do my own training my split is-back/bi, chest/tri legs,shoulders,arms, cardio day or active rest, leg day #2
