(Sorry for the double post.)

Anyway: I'd say, looking at this, that you're spending forever in the gym doing all this and it won't have a huge effect. There's a lot of volume here, a lot of redundancy and isolation movements, and about a hundred thousand reps, which will prevent you from using any serious poundage in anything.

By the way, there's a big difference between 3 sets of 10 reps on the bench and 3 sets of 6 reps, so clarify which one it is. And in any case, 15 reps, let alone 20, will keep that squat from being much use - simple calculus of the human body says that if you don't provide your body with a big stimulus to change, it won't change. It responds to incentive. I know you're not trying to bulk up, but even fat burning has been shown to be kickstarted more effectively by heavy resistance training than by low-intensity training anyway. I'd lower your rep ranges and cut out almost all of those exercises.

Focus on the big three lifts - squat, deadlift, and bench press - because they'll cover pretty much all of the muscles you're covering in that routine anyway.

Make sure you're switching up your cardio: running, biking, swimming, whatever, make sure it's varied so that your body doesn't get accustomed to it and your fat burning will slow.
