After hemin' and hawin', dragging my feet, doing some more research, and making a fool of myself experimenting in the gym for a few days, I've come up with what I think might be my strength routine.
KB around the worlds (10 one way, switch)
KB Swings x15 KB Deadlifts x15 KB Bent over rows x15/side KB Overhead press x/15/side Dumbbell curl x15/side Bodyweight squat or KB Goblet squat x15 (Repeat 2-3 times)
Tri Kickback with dumbbell (on all fours) x15/side Kneeling push ups x15 Bridge 60 sec Side leg lifts x15/side Plank 30 sec Russian twist x30 (Repeat 2x)
The main focus for my overall routine is improving my overall health, losing weight and gaining strength. I've lost about 70 pounds since my highest weight (about 100ish to go), and lately I've been noticing some looseness in my skin (particularly in my triceps). I'm hoping some more strength based exercises (aside from cardio) might help this. I also know I have weak hips.
First I'm looking to see if I'm missing any major muscle groups, or if I'm overworking some. Second, I'm still playing around with weights (what feels comfortably challenging) and reps, so if anyone has input on what I should aim for rep/set wise, that'd be cool too. Last, I felt like this had a pretty good "flow" to it, but if someone has a different order for exercises, I'm all ears.
Oh, and as I was doing some research, I found two other methods of KB based routines. First was how many ___ you could do in ___ seconds. The second was a taper program, 16 reps of everything, 8, 4, 2, 1. Does anyone have experience with either method?
Aside from this I run on the elliptical for about 50 mins 4-5 days/week and catch a yoga class when it fits in my schedule.
Thank you!
