Good Plan or Bad Plan?

I am planning to start this either today, if there are replies soon, or tomorrow. I am going to do this:

Monday, Wednesday, Friday:
Dumbbell Chest Fly
Dumbbell Bent Row
Dumbbell Shoulder Raise
Dumbbell Arm Curl
Seated One-Arm Dumbbell Extensions
Abdominal Crunches

Everything with a 10lb Dumbbell in each hand except for Abdominal Crunches. I will do 2 sets of 10 reps.

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday:
Seated Leg Extensions
Standing Knee Curl
Squats
Lying Side Leg Raises (inner)
Lying Side Leg Raises (outer)
Standing Calf Raise
Jog 1 Mile @ the Start @ about ~ 12 minutes per Mile.
None of these with weights.

Sunday:
1600 Calorie Diet (Calorie-Count said thats what mine should be if I'm Sedentary)
And No Exercising.

Is this Light Activity or Moderate Activity.

And I know I already have a topic like this one but I thought this had a better description and the other topic has already moved onto the second page. Any suggestions would be appreciated. If this is considered Light Activity I will have a 1900 Cal limit and if Moderate it will be 2100 or 2200 (forgot which).

Regards

actually the best way to do it is to take your expenditure at sedentary then add on the calories you burn during the exercise (just estimate by what calorie-count tells you).  that'll give you a much better picture of what light/moderate/heavy is.  they're just such subjective terms and it's too hard to know how much you're burning if you try and use those right from the start

baywolf, I lift 4 times a week....but I always list my activity level as sedentary and then just log in the amount and intensity of my lifting in the activity log...CC calculates the calorie burn and gives you a total of exercise and normal expenditure.

I found that easier than just picking one of the other catagories, which don't really take into account the time and intensity of the exercises....Like last night I burned off about 600 calories lifting...

Hard to tell how much you burn without knowing how long your workout is and the intensity.  They say to try to keep your time limitd to about an hour of lifting...Last night I went over to about 1 1/4 hr and I was totally beat....made it difficult to do my normal cardio afterwards..

Play around with the activity logs with all your exercise...It will give you a better picture of your activity level and how many calories you should consume.

Ok one more question for the weight lifting C-C only has the following two options which should it be?

Weight Lifting - (Free Weight Nautilus or Universal-type), Light or Moderate Effort, Light Workout, General
Weight Lifting - (Free Weight Nautilus or Universal-type), Power Lifting or Body Building, Vigorous Effort

Also what should I put down as the Leg streches?

Regards and thanks for the help.

EDIT: I think that the Leg Streches would be Mild Streching Right? and I may end up doing the Upper Body workout without weights to strech then to 2 sets of 10 reps to workout.

Regards

EDIT: I think that the upper body would be Weight Lifting General.

baywolf, I'm not sure what you mean by "leg stretches"....please clarify.

Here's what I catagorize as "Vigorous Effort"...You are not able to complete the last repetition in each set.  And sets are done with no more than 45 seconds to 1 minute between.

If you do upper body without weights, then I would not call them weight lifting but rather calistenics instead.

spring for a heart rate monitor-then you know for sure what you're burning :)

How would I find out what I'm burning with a heart rate monitor.

Regards

Many of them will tell you. You program in your height, weight age, etc. then start it recording at the begining of you workout and stop it at the end. It will take all of you personal information factor in your heartrate and tell you how many calories you burned. 

The leg stretches would be considered
 Calisthenics - Home Exercise, Light or Moderate Effort, General (Example: Back Exercises), Going Up & Down From Floor

Can you suggest a good heart rate monitor that is the sub $40 range.

Regards

Baywolf--I'd very, very strongly recommend that you scrap that plan entirely and take a completely different approach to lifting. If you want to see any kind of appreciable result, whether in size, strength, or overall fitness level, your current routine is going to get you exactly nowhere. If you want results, you need to do big compound lifts with as much weight as you can comfortably (comfortable as in not wanting to die, not comfortable as in easy) manage. This guide was written exactly with individuals such as yourself in mind, and if you follow it, you will get results. Squats, deadlifts, benches, bent-over rows, chins, etc. will get you where you want to be, no matter what you want to do. Just remember to start slow and always push yourself, but know your limit and never push beyond it. Good luck, man. You've got an amazing journey ahead of you.

Baywolf:
I do stretching routines several times during the day.  I don't report them anymore because I figure they are part of the light activity.  If I went to sedentary as suggested by some of these posts, I would user either of the two "stretching" options in the general conditioning section.  I can't remember exactly what they are but you can find them by searching either on stretching or yoga -- the both rate you at about 270 calories per hour.

The heart rate monitor will probably not be much of a help.  I've used mine and not surprisingly, it says that I expend about 100 calories on a 40 minute calesthenics and weights workout.  This is because weight lifting and such exercises fall into the anaerobic category which doesn't burn many calories.

Also, I walk about 2.5 miles with my dog every night and I think that registers around 100 calories on my HRM.

I haven't had much luck with sub-$40 heart rate monitors.  Polar has the best reputation and they do have some inexpensive models that might serve your purpose.  Also, I believe that Timex has a product in that range.

I am inclined to agree with Rotak.  I am not sure what you are trying to achieve with this exercise program.  But it looks to me like you would get more out of something a little more challenging.

Well right now starting out all I own are two 10 lb dumbbells so that is a problem I may be getting a weight bench or maybe join my Civic Center (which has a track and weight room and stuff) but not sure if I should. Which would you recomend? and thats about it.

Regards and can you suggest a upper body workout routine if I start going to the gym.
