Day 4 - Same as Day 1

Day 5 - Same as Day 2

Day 6 - Same as Day 3

This almost made me quit gym after few days. Over the months, I did my research, grew wiser and divided my workout in a 4 day split that I cycle (I go to the gym 4-6 days a week). Now I do :

AM routine (8am):
30 mins of Stretches

Squats : 10*3

Lunges: 10*3

Leg raises: 10*3

Reverse crunch: 10*3

PM routine (7pm):
10 mins of warmup
40-45mins of resistance training
Followed by 10-15 mins of cardio and crunches

This has helped me lose 4 kilos and build of some muscles and overall improve body composition
 
@mary57 In the beginning, yes. After 2 hrs in gym, I used to be deadass tired.

It's their business tactics. They would give you lucrative 6 months or 1 year plans. If you fall for it (I did),they would force you to follow such a dogshit routine and make you quit in a few days.
