Start with the lowest weight the machine or dumbbells offer. Once you can accomplish the listed goals, increase weight by 1 increment. For the plank or seated rotation you can either go for longer times, or in the case of the seated rotation begin to hold weights while doing the motion. If you cannot achieve the full set/rep amount do what you can and try again next week. It is vital that you keep track of what you achieved each week so you can know what to do next week.

A link to a description of each movement is included.
