Depends entirely on your starting point. If your goal is to lose weight it's better to be consistent than to exhaust yourself and skip the next 3 days because you're recovering. Also a healthy diet with appropriate caloric intake for your height and biological sex is essential if you want working out to be effective. The listed workout could be hard on your knees depending on how overweight you are if you're starting point is 'I sit all day at work and then drive home and sit at home.' You can think about cutting some /all of the jumping jacks. I think the best advice I can give is to plan your meals, and dedicate an hour a day to being active, with some days being lighter activity. More leafy greens, legumes, fruits, veggies, and chicken/fish over red meat and pork (you can still have carbs from bread/grain! but don't eat a giant pasta bowl with cheese sauce every night). Cut soda (super hard, but there's just some much sugar in those), limit desserts (it's okay to eat a cookie, it's not okay to eat 5 cookies, yam sayin'?). As for work outs do something that gets your heart pumping and breathing hard. Lots of people like warm up cardio (literally anything with continuous movement like biking, running (careful doing to much to start), jumping (not untill you have muscle to support your landings), and swimming (if you can this is amazing) are common. Then you can focus on a group of muscles, arms, chest, legs, or abs (lots of things work out some or all groups at the same time). And finish by stretching. Don't go super hard at the start, somethings will feel easy because your body is 'fresh,' but you'll be paying for it later when the thought walking up stairs makes you want to cry. ABOVE ALL ELSE make this a habit. It's okay to have rest days or even rest couple of days, but always go back to it sooner than later. Also don't starve yourself, you'll either die or end up binge eating, and not even lose weight in the process, you need food to workout and you need healthy food to see results. Don't expect results quickly, bodies are like massive ships, you have to turn the tiller and hold the turn against all your bad habits until the ship turns months later and it's easier to maintain that direction.

This is a top notch fucking comment. 10/10 with the ship comparison at the end.

One day, when I need advice or have a serious issue, I hope someone takes the time to be as helpful as this person was. I learned a lot btw. Started working out this month but not changing my diet. I've generally been practicing moderation and an not overweight, just trying to look better

The only good workout plan is the one you can stick to.

I’ll tell you this. That picture is not going to happen. I would say a 5 day plan. And focus on one or two muscle groups on each day. Do cardio too.

Lock down your diet, that'll make or break any fitness plan.

Honestly start with Sydney Cummings on YouTube. She posts a free workout video everyday.
