3 days Strength, 5 days Cardio.

On strength days, do a minimum of 20 min cardio. Do 3 to 5 workouts per 'section'-> Bottom, Arms, Abs (always do abs last...) than lastly do your cardio. You should be at the gym longer than 30 min on your strength days, aim for about 1 hour/ 1 hr 15min. Cardio days push yourself past your comfort zone.. I think 30 to 45 min is perfect to burn fat. You should be sweaty when you leave.

For the flabby underarms, the best things are tricep extensions and dips.


FYI - you're not going to lose weight just by working out. To lose weight, we also have to change our eating habits.

If today is your first day going to the gym, they should have someone walk you through how to properly use the machines and such. Let them know your concerns - they'll give you advice and show you the best techniques.

Honestly, push ups are the most efficient exercise you can do - they work virtually all muscles if you do them correctly. Try to do three sets of 10-12 and you can change your arm positions to change it up. Start on your knees and eventually you'll be doing them at a full extension. Cardio cardio cardio too. GL!
