Philosophy: Build from the ground up with strength and endurance.
All workout days begin with five (5) minutes of stretches and 15-20 minutes of cardio exercise for warm up. Cardio exercises can be Treadmill or elliptical or light jogging to the gym. The first exercise of 15 reps go really light on the weights to warm up muscles. The second exercise go medium heavy. And the final exercises push as hard as you can or with weights you are comfortable with.

P.S. As with any Diet or Exercise Program, please consult your Doctor before starting. And remember to start small and gradually increase intensity or amount of weights. It is okay to go light or with weights your comfortable with. As your strength increases, you will go heavier.
* I like using the dumbbells because of the even push. With the barbell, some people tend to push more with the hand that they are stronger with.
