Just got new home gym . . need workout routine?

Question

I just bought a home gym so I can get strength training in with my exercise routine. I also have an elliptical and I plan on alternating between the two every other day.
I need to know the best workout routine to start with for strength training with the home gym. What weight to start with and for how long? How long every day to work out on it?
I am a female 5'6" 145 lb. My husband will also be using it and would like to know the same.

Answer 1

You should start out slowly. Do at least 5 reps. in a set. At least once a day. Your workout should be at least 1 hour long.
