The success of fitness bootcamp routines depends on the following how we choose:
(1) a great trainer : Hiring of trainers by instructors with many years experience
(2) a great location : Steep hills make excellent
(3) the spice of life : Who wants to be doing the same things in the same order every single session. Executing the same routine day-in and day-out is not only boring but also exercises the same muscles day-in and day-out. Bootcamp exercises are perfect for mixing up to maintain variety and interest.

My main goal Is to gain strength. I have a Marcy diamond elite home gym ( my dad bought it in I believe 2008) and a couple of dumbells. I was wondering if anyone had a good workout routine I could follow. Like what exercises and how many reps and sets I should do.

Skipping meals does not serve the purpose!
Best to go with certain foods, which are useful to our body, in moderation!
The liver has the function of neutralizing the toxins and alcohol and fat is concerned.
Foods to favor:
White meat and fish, artichokes, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, oranges and berries.
The pancreas produces insulin to lower blood sugar levels, so we avoid the simple sugars in favor of small portions of complex carbohydrates.
Foods to favor:
Pasta, preferably wholemeal bread and rice.
The kidneys maintain stable levels of mineral salts in the blood and eat when you are forced to work too much.
Foods to favor:
oranges, clementines, bananas, because potassium-rich parsley, celery contains apiina.
The intestine, the portion of the colon, the bacteria balance, producing vitamins and eliminate toxins from poor diet and just to put it into crisis.
Foods to favor:
Apples, pears, pineapple, and I know all the chicory ..; /

I was hoping someone could provide a good circuit/routine/schedule I can follow.

What I do is about one hour on the treadmill, as fast as I can go (with a bit of an incline) to get me sweating and my heart rate up and then I get off of there and go to the leg and arm machines (lol, sorry for the lack of technical terms) and work out there for about 30 mins and then I get back on the treadmill and work out for another 30 mins (this burns more calories when you stop and start back again). I hope this helps and good luck with your exercise routine!! :)

Look. Gyms suck.

I train in the mountains and fight bears. After that I eat them and climb more mountains.

for a complete beginner you should probably choose a combination of free weights and a few machines.

an incline press machine would be great to work the chest for a beginner .

also if your gym has a smith press machine it can be great for squats and presses for a beginner.

free weights should be kept light.

for a beginner its important to focus more on form and technique rather than worry about how much weight they are using

I’m 5’8” and weight about 160 pounds. My jean size is 14 and I wear a large in shirts. I participate in high-step marching band which is very physical.

Physical exercises are no less useful and efficient, than medicines. Unfortunately, doctors, prescribing

receipts with pills, liniments and other chemical medicaments to their patients, seldom recommend them

physical exercises, as an excellent medicinal and preventive remedy. We are absolutely aware of benefits of

regular physical exercising, but quite often we are so lazy, avoiding fitness-clubs and limiting ourselves

with a spring-board in our room…..
