I do this.

I do not do legs as I have an injury which prevents that.

Day 1: Chest and back.
Day 2: Abs/calves
Day 3: Shoulders
Day 4: Abs/wrists
Day 5: Arms
Day 6: Sauna/steam room/pool

I repeat, I do not take any days off. And I try to make sure the sun never catches me sleeping.

Morning routine:
Wake up 0420
Pray
Gym 0430
Devotional
AA reading
Eat/get ready
Take kid to school & 645 AM
Crush rest of day.

Hope this helps. Congrats on day 2! Huge.

What are you looking to achieve? If you want to strength train strong lifts 5x5 is a great program for beginners.

Not sure if you are in the states but for a beginner I would recommend planet fitness. They have classes and can help you learn movements. I went there the first 2 years of my fitness journey and really appreciated the knowledge I gained

I’m 54 days sober and 53 days at the gym. I’ve been walking on the treadmill for an hour a day. It’s a start for me to occupy myself.
