@Nanay79 here's some great workouts.
Most of us split like this. We all very a little bit, but for the most part its 1 day biceps, triceps, shoulders. Day 2 legs, glutes abs, day 3 chest, back and traps.
Some split even more, and some less. Finding what works best for you will take time. But this is a great place to start

Leg day. I got to try out my new device that attaches a dumbbell to the bottom of my shoe for leg curls and leg extensions. It works incredibly well! This was the first time I’ve done lying leg curls since I tore my hamstring doing them a year ago. I tore my ham 3 times in one year and swore I done with isolated hamstring exercises. It went well today even though each rep scared the puss out of me waiting for a “rip.”

LEGS:
- 4 sets dumbbell lunges
- 5 sets one legged dumbbell extensions
- 3 sets lying dumbbell leg curls
- 4 sets dumbbell squats
- 4 sets dumbbell deadlifts
- 4 sets stiff legged dumbbell deadlifts
- 3 sets barbell split squats
- 4 sets dumbbell standing calf raises
- 4 sets one single leg calf raises no weight
- 4 sets both legs calf raises no weight

CARDIO:
- 23 minutes on the bike at level 13.

MEALS:
4 protein/oat shakes and 1 meal consisting of 6 egg whites, 5 ounces 99/1 extra lean ground turkey breast, 2 cups rice, hot sauce, garlic and onion powder.

Yeah I've been looking at those... monkey feet. The only thing I can't really do with my home gym stuff is hamstring curls.
I've tried using a band... but the bands just don't stay in place

I got the knockoff version of monkey feet. It’s under $20 for two instead of $70 for the original monkey feet.
