Switching from another program question

I have, so far, been going to the gym 3 times a week, doing one Body Pump class + 2 workout sessions. This has been working great and I've lost loads of weight (my goal is lean muscle body - not bodybuilding) but I've hit a weight stall and this is one of the reasons I joined - fancied a bit of change plus I want to push for better results. I've completed my personal profile and the site generated the exercise program - I put I want to do 2 sessions a week (as I still want to keep my Body Pump class and I don't want to do more than 3 sessions in total per week). So far I've been doing all exercises on machines - 2 x 15 repetitions. The program the site generated states I should do 4 sessions with variable repetitions - do I go for it or do I amend the numbers - what would you recommend? Thanks in advance!

Then gradually add weight to the other sets 12-10-8. The plan works when it is followed. Good luck and feel free to ask questions. -------------- Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success. Ivan (GO HABS GO!) Montreal Canada (City of Festivals)
