I've sort of settled into this workout routine without any knowledgeable guidance, so I figure I might as well query the Internet to see if it's appropriate. Initially, the routine was built around rehabbing an injury to my leg and shoulder (which is why there may be a leg, shoulder, back focus, I guess), but after I recovered it slowly expanded into other things. Primary goal now is to lose weight. Building strength is a distant secondary concern.
I generally have four workouts:
20 min. weekday morning yoga (Wii Fit U)
1 hr. P90x Yoga X routine (I do the first hour and skip the last 30 minutes)
1 hr. lower body weight lifting:
-standing calf raises
-lunges
-squats
-lever leg extensions
-lever lying leg curls
-barbell push crunches
-dumbbell push situps
1 hr. upper body weight lifting:
-barbell bent over row
-barbell shrug
-dumbbell bent over row
-barbell pullover
-barbell reverse curl
-bench press
Generally, M-F I'll do the 20 min. yoga in the morning to wake up in the morning before work, and one of the 1 hr routines after work. Saturday, I try to do 1 hr. Yoga X in the morning and 1 hr of the weight lifting in the evening (whichever routine I did less during the week). Sunday is usually resting or making up for any routine I missed the past week. All-in-all, I aim to do the 20 min. yoga routine 5 times, the Yoga X routine 2-3 times, and each weight lifting routine twice in a given week.
The exercises were initially picked by browsing exrx.net and picking out exercises for the muscle groups near my injury sites, but I later added on exercises that seemed to be recommended by multiple internet sources (lunges, squats, bench press). I do them in the order listed. Generally do conservative pyramid training for each exercise (15 reps, 12 reps, 10 reps)--I exercise alone at home so I try not to test my limits to prevent injury.
Anyway, any feedback on exercise I should substitute in or which order I do them?
