Good morning! I developed my own routine within the course of a month using what my gym has, and change it up every two months or so so my muscles don't get too used to the motions. I suggest going on bodybuilding.com, typing "(muscle group you want) exercises" in search and picking the best one for you (I prefer sorting them by rating, usually the best comes come up >9.0/10.

I imagine my workout will be different from yours since you're a girl (for example, I can't say I spend an awful amount of time on my glutes) but you can easily find articles and make one for yourself with what your gym has. Only advice I can give is make sure you have good form. I mean, perfect form. this is a necessity that a lot of people overlook until they're in a wheelchair.

shmedit: There's so, so much more to it. You'll learn (and really want) to keep an effective diet, you'll figre out how to incorporate cardio, how to reach your limits, and how to surpass them. And most importantly, you'll develop your motivation. This could be many things, but it usually ties in to one day. the "special thing' i mentioned yesterday is The Spartan Race. The Spartan Race. The Spartan Race. The Spartan Race. It is my love, it is my life, it is the best and happiest I've felt out of my last year that I ran it-- The Sprint that is, not the Death Race :s. Anyway, that's my motivation. In terms of bodybuilding, I suggest watching Kai Greene's videos. He's basically a monk with bicep peaks.
