Housebound Health

So my New Years resolution is to get healthy - and I started Twisted Sisters' CafĂ© as one of the ways I intend to meet this goal.  Yesterday I got out and walked but today I just got a call from the hubby - freezing rain, fog and ice.  Treacherous roads to say the least.  Semis in the ditch. So I'm feel that it would be safest to stay inside and not risk falling on an icy sidewalk.


Foggy icy morning - probably shouldn't go walking lest I fall down and can't get up

One thing I have been planning is to start lifting weights.  The last time I bothered to do this activity was May 30, 2014.  Since I have let it slide for half a year, I should start at the beginning gently.  Why?  Because if not I will cripple myself resulting in 4 days in bed and perhaps an expensive visit to the doctor.  So I will take it slow.

Here is my list of beginning exercises:

Start standing:
15 standing lunges each leg with 5lb in each hand
15 standing lunges with bicep curls - 5 lb in each hand
24 bicep curls 8lb
 
 16 tricep 8lb
24 rows each arm 8lb

Get down on the mat:
24 chest 8 lb
16 sits ups each R and L leg with 8 lbs
8 sits ups with twist 8 lbs


So do you have any favorite exercises??? Any suggestions on what I should be doing?  I am thinking 4 times a week would be acceptable to engage in an activity such as this.
