ok I am no fitness guru

but due to some personal choices I am no longer going to be drinking for at least the next three months

I am, however, planning on going to the gym 6 days a week, if not 7...but I may take one day off for rest.

Primarily, I'm going to do cardio. I am going to do the same cardio every day and that is:

I warm up for 5 minutes with a jog. And then I do 6 intervals of 2 minutes running fast, 1 minute walking. Then I cool down for 5 more minutes. In a week or so, I'll gradually increase speed and probably get up to 8-10 intervals. Right now, it's about a 3 mile workout.

What I want from you, CP, is to help me with my weight lifting regimine. I do not want to do tough lifts, I don't really want to do squats and I am a very casual lifter.

I want 3-5 lifts per workout that focus on different areas every day. One day I'll do arms, one day I'll do legs, one day I'll do a bit of everything, and one day I'll do abs/back etc...

I spend 30 minutes on cardio and would like to spend 20-25 minutes lifting. Right now I've been doing flies, low weight curls (10X10X10) 3 sets (which is 30 reps per set, 40 lb. bar, 10 full curls, 10 from down to middle, 10 from up to middle if that makes sense), as well as various machines and bench press.

I'm 6'3" 200 lbs and am focusing on getting down to a more fit 190 lbs with a little more tone. I think the cardio is what I really need and it will be my primary focus over the next three months but would really like someone more knowledgeable in the weight lifting area to give me some beginner lifts that I can focus on that won't make me hate weight lifting more than I already do.

I've always been just a bench, incline, flies, curls, legs kind of lifter...nothing fancy and I want to keep it that way with an occasional ab workout filtered in.

Thanks for any help. If someone really wants to go above and beyond I wouldn't mind a Monday-Friday checklist with 3-5 lifts.

But if that's too much to ask I totally understand.
