I like to work one to two major muscle groups at a time so i am confident that its done. I am active all day running, stairclimbing and dancing which makes up most of my cardio but i still do 30 minutes of walking/running a day. On Mondays, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, I do a total body workout where I try to hit every muscle and on the days in-between, i like to do gentle workouts such as pilates and yoga

I am 16 years old, 5'3 & 127 lbs
BMI - 22.49


Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday-

I do 15 reps and 2 sets per exercise
Weights - 8lb each
One Hour

Abs

- Upward bike (where my back in completely off the floor and balancing on my butt)

Do you think this routine is suitable? Too much, too little? Any advice is greatly appreciated
 
I'd like to help, but I am a bit confused about what you do. It sounds like you do a full body routine most days of the week. But then the first sentence of your post says this: "I like to work one to two major muscle groups at a time so i am confident that its done. "

It also sounds like you are hitting the abs most days of the week as well. Even on your "Gentle Days." And depending on your goal it may better if you did more sets and less reps. You may have to increase the weight of the dumbbell though. Do you just have one set of dumbbells that weigh 8 pounds?

You didn't mention much about your eating either. Overall, your routine could use some tweaking. Post more info and maybe some people will jump in with help.

Oh, one last thing... is that the order you do your exercises in? If so, your chest/back workout should not be last. It should be done before your biceps/triceps/shoulders because the chest/back are larger muscles.

Hope that helps a bit. I think you just need a kick butt routine that you can follow. Remember to keep it simple. I think it's easier and better that way :)
