Mel's First Program

Given that Mel doesn't have a lot of free time and has not done a lot of weight training in the past, this first program is short and focuses on basic exercises. These exercises focus on the major muscle groups of the body, give good results and will give her a strong base for her training in the future.

Because of her limited experience and her concern about using free weights at this time, we are going to start by using weight machines. Free weights will be incorporated in future programs.

The program itself (3 times per week)
Warm-up
Leg Press 3 sets x 10 reps
Lat Pulldown 2 sets x 10 reps
Cable Row 2 sets x 10 reps
Bench Press 3 sets x 10 reps
Crunches 3 sets X 10 reps
Aerobics 30 min (any machine)
Warm-down

The whole program should be finished within a hour, and I hope she will enjoy it.
