Workout Plan

I made my list of exercises that I'll be doing in this first challenge. I'm not sure of the weights that I'll be using to start off. We'll see how my first set goes, and I'll adjust from there. [EDIT: I have figured out the weights I will start with - yes, I am a weenie.] I want to make sure my form is right for lifting. Cardio will be on the elliptical. For now, I will use speed as my intensity, and as my body adjusts, I'll increase my resistance. Here's the weight lifting plan:
