Is this a good beginner's workout routine?

Hi all. I was wondering if you'd take the time to read the workout I came up with, and let me know what you think. Any tips are greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.


25 Jumping jacks

20 Push ups

15 Sit ups

15 Crunches

15 Squats

30 Second plank


I'd do that once, then dance for 10-20 minutes cause I love to dance, and don't want to get bored. Then after dancing, I'd repeat the workout above. After the second set, I'd run for 20 minutes. And then that would be the start of my day before I head to work. Of course I know I have to diet to see results, but I'm already not much of an eater. Soda's already a no-go, and I'm working on my sweet tea addiction.
I'm a 19 year old male, and the last time I weighed myself, I was around 180.
 
Welcome!

At the beginning, it's just important to get moving and to find a routine that you enjoy. What are your goals? Just weight loss? Trying to build muscle? Personally, I would nix the sit ups and crunches as they are not ideal for maintaining a healthy low back. Planks and side planks are two great exercises to start working on building a more stable core before moving on to other core exercises.
