In addition to my incredibly active job where I get anywhere between 10,000 and 20,000 steps on average, I lift every day.
Note: 1 amrap means 1 set of as many reps as possible of the exercises and I usually do that when I'm done working on a muscle.
I've posted my routine below, but that's a bit excessive for someone new. You don't need to be going to the gym as much as I go. I just have grown to like it and it has become part of my day, so I try to get there every day and have modified an existing routine to allow me to do this. I definitely recommend lifting weights, though, and if you're interested in routines, I know a few for beginners you can utilize if you tell me your goals and ideal schedule.
