Yep, I'm back to bug you all again. (Sorry!)

How do I read it? I'm trying to figure out if I'm meant to do everything on the page in a given day's workout, or if I'm supposed to choose one from each section to do? The former seems like a lot, but the latter doesn't seem like enough. Aughhh
I'll probably end up just doing something else I find online, but I was really into trying this programme and I can't figure it out.
Any advice?

First workout of type A of stage 1 (short, in my book: 1/A1) was:
- 15 squats, 60 sec rest
- 15 squats, 60 sec rest
- 15 push-ups, 60 sec rest
- 15 seated rows 60 sec rest
- 15 push-ups, 60 sec rest
- 15 seated rows 60 sec rest
- 15 step-ups right leg, 15 step-ups left leg, 60 sec rest
- 8 prone jackknives, 60 sec rest
- 15 step-ups right leg, 15 step-ups left leg, 60 sec rest
- 8 prone jackknives, 60 sec rest
... with a column behind it for "weight used", and a neat checkmark after that. (Except where it says, "ouch", where I fell off the Swiss ball.)
So, it was "everything from the table in NRoLfW that is in a row with "workout #x" is part of "workout #x", and only one workout is done per day".
It *is* a rather short workout, made to get into the habit without getting scared, I think. Compared to what I got from the trainers at the gym, it was 1/4 the length, however, it was about 4 times as effective, judging by the progress I made.
The workouts *do* get longer. Much longer.
