I wouldn’t start with cardio before you lift. Save the cardio for after lifting.
You should do a basic push, pull and leg program workout 3-4 weightlifting and 1-2 days rest/cardio(walking is underrated). Remember it’s about recovery and nutrition more than workout.
Push - Incline bench press, pectoral fly, hammer grip press, shoulder fly, seated shoulder press and triceps press.
Pull - Bent over rows, lat pulldown, seated lat pulldown, hammer curls, spider curls, preacher curls
Legs - Squat, leg press, calf raises, ab leg lifts
Cardio after lifting - incline treadmill 3-4mph for 10-15 minutes max

I resumed working out this summer, and it’s been 5 weeks. I’ll go to the gym and begin with 2 miles on the elliptical, and then I’ll do the weight machines: my “program” thus far is just randomly choosing 4 machines and doing 3x10 sets.
I feel great and I’ve noticed some clothes fitting me better, but I really want to sustain this and have a better game plan when I go to the gym. Can anyone recommend a workout routine or app I should look into that will give me more direction based on my goal of losing weight while looking good with my shirt off (lol)?
Thanks!
