Doing something wrong?

So I've been working out for about 3 weeks now. And I've been seeing progress. My main concern is that I don't think I'm targeting all my goals and I'm not quite sure how. Also I haven't been getting sore at all. I workout for about an hour or more. I take people's advice and do more reps or workout longer. But I'm not sure. Anyone suggest anything?

Speed it up or increase weight for mire resistance. Make sure your breathers are less than 45 sec max.

What are your goals exactly? What is your routine if you don't mind me asking

Well that's the thing I don't really know how to organize my routine. I would just switch off bt I'm working on abs, legs, arms, thighs, & butt. Bt I think I've been working out my abs more than anything.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I would consider looking for a beginner workout on bodybuilding.com

At least until you get into a routine and better understand how your body reacts. From there you can create your own routine to better fit your needs or you can continue to find new routines through the website. I've heard it is a good idea to switch up your routine every 4-6 weeks. If your looking to build muscle lift heavy with low reps. Looking to tone lift light with high reps. Make sure you throw in cardio for toning. Less cardio if your looking to build. Healthy eating always a must. All of this seems overwhelming but if you slowly work into it, it becomes habit. A little patience and a lot of dedication ;-) 

You'll do great!!
