I was just wondering what is your workout scheme at the gym?

I have my own and I want to compare and contrast with you guys.

I am a dude and I do muscular endurance.

Sorry that I do not know all the machine names

What I do:
1. Arm curls with dumbell hammers (35 lbs each, 12 reps)
2. Bench with the dumbell hammers (30 lbs each, 12 reps)
3. I do not know what this thing is called but I lay my arm on the bench and raise one of the weights on my other, as if I am raising my emergency brake on my honda civic , it works out my triceps (30 lbs each, 10 reps, 2 sets)
4. I get a dumbell hammer on one hand and I bend on the side with that weight, to work out my obliques/hips (40 lbs each, 15 reps, 2 sets)
5. I go on the stationary bikes (5 miles)
6. I do number 1, 2, 3, and 4 again (less reps if needed)
7. Overhead/Military Press (110 lbs, 12 reps, 2 sets)
8. There is this machine where you work your muscles on your back. You just sit in it and push back (125 lbs, 10 reps, 2 sets)
9. Abdominal Machine, it has weights and you bend forward with it (110 lbs, 11 reps, 2 sets)
10. I get the medicine ball and sit on the ground and twist moving the medicine ball from side to side to work my obliques (7 lbs, 25 reps [turns], 2 sets)
11. Curl ups (75 reps on left/right side, 100 reps just plain forward)
12. (Sometimes) I go on this pull up machine that adds weight base on how much % you want to do of your weight (57 lbs, 10-12 reps, 2 sets [hopefully])
13. (Either or) I either go shoot some hoops at the court for 15-30 mins or sit in the sauna for 10-15 mins

I do this all in about 1hr - 1 1/2hrs

I don't go to the gym... but I exercise at home. I run on the treadmill for 1 hour to 1 & half hour, then do 50 squats and 50 crunches. Once in a while, I lift a 5 pound weight 25-40 times. That's all. Really simple, but still effective. =D

I do about 2 miles on the treadmill and 2 miles worth on the ellipticals.
At home, I do the weight lifting because I'm afraid of going to the weights area at the gym


I'm not sure but it seems like they're isolation type of exercises?
Why don't you do deadlifts/squats ?
Just curious

I use to, for some reason I haven't done that in awhile. So I didn't put that in.

Now that school's almost out, I have started a new summer routine that consists of the following:

Warm up: 5 minutes of medium to high intensity cardio.

I run through the circuit machines in my gyms working pretty much all the major upper and lower body muscles. Depending on the type of machine, I average about 30 to 60 pounds and 3 sets of 8 to 20 reps.

Afterwards, I do 25 minutes of medium intensity cardio for a total of 30 minutes cardio.

This routine takes about 2 hours and I will do this every other day.

Bike: 15 minutes
Treadmill: 30 minutes
Leg press: 450 lbs 2 sets of 10 reps
Then I use all of the other machines for the arms (I don't know what they are called) 2 sets of 15 reps depending on the lbs.
Bike: 15 minutes

I do all of that, but I always bike at the end as well to help my legs.
