Riddle me this, how's my current exercise routine

Alright so I'll be hitting my
One month at the gym really haven't noticed a change in weight cause it's fluctuating like a crazy thing. So I've been switching up things past few weeks also really tracking calories good past few days probably around 1550-1700 calorie intake snacking thru the day getting my protien up ect ect, now past few weeks I have been doing weight training every day for the 6 days I go to the gym, current weight is at 220, tho it was around 217 last week idk I figure the muscles are kicking in, so this is my plan for this week

Monday - I did 28 min on the elliptical high resistance cardio mode, then I popped on the machines that worked my legs did low weight around 15-20 reps one set of each

Tuesday- today I plan to do my 28 oh cardio on the elliptical, then 20 minutes on stair master

Wednesday- cardio on elliptical again 28 min high resistance, then work my abdominal area with the weight machines an leg lifts

Thursday- 28 on elliptical cardio mode and either doing 20 on stair master or switch to the stationary bike

Friday- 28 min on elliptical, then work my arms on the weight machines low weight high reps

Saturday- elliptical (I love it cause it really pushes me) and then 20 min on stair master or bike



I opt out of treadmill cause I can't run well cause of my knee and it's hard to feel like I'm really working myself on there...without dwelling like I'm putting so much force on my knee, so take a gander I'd love some input thankyou!
 
I'm not seeing any resistance training in your routine there. low weight high reps is not resistance training. It's cardio.

Resistance training is anything where you're at utter failure at 15 reps or less, or 20-30 seconds or less.. Think sprinting max out on a track, you can only realistically do it for like what? 10-20 seconds before you hit a wall and your performance tanks? Thats resistance training. It's training that requires the bodies higher energy systems in order to power the muscles to do the workload required of it. When you're doing low weight, high reps, these energy systems are not utilized and what you're basically doing is training you're lower energy systems to be more efficient and stronger. Muscle endurance if you will.
