SilentVoice Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Ok I recently made a big move. So I decided to join a gym. I have been a member for about two and half weeks. I haven't missed a day yet of my five day routine. Lost 9 pounds . Anyway! Can some one please point me in a direction of a website that I can get an idea of how to work and where to start on the weight lifting machines? I do cardio 25 min (jog/speed walk on treadmill) 30 min (stair master thing) 25 ( elliptical) or 25( spin bike) I really need to start toning up. I have my diet in check( 80 grams of protein and 90 oz of water daily).So any ideas will be helpful thanks. Yes I know I can ask people in the gym but I am ridiculously shy.And don't really know anyone in the area who could help me.
USMCHokie Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Most gyms I know of that have personal trainers will offer a complimentary training session for new members. You should inquire about that, and if it is the case, I would suggest using that session with a personal trainer to get a detailed orientation of the gym facility and the equipment. If not, it might be worthwhile to invest in a few sessions to get started with weight training. Disclaimer: I think most personal training services are ...
Author SilentVoice Posted October 13, 2010 Author Posted October 13, 2010 Yeah I had an appointment with a personally trainer I think I missed it . I don't remember . I guess I will wait until I see him, I hate being sold stuff. But I hope he is good .Wouldn't mind seeing him once a month to keep myself on track. Gyms should come with manuals
Star Gazer Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 You lost 9 pounds in like 17-18 days?? Be careful. Rapid weight loss isn't healthy and the weight will come back with a vengeance! I agree with Hokie though. Utilize one of the "free" sessions to get acclimated with the equipment and exercises. It's important that you learn proper form when weight training.
Author SilentVoice Posted October 14, 2010 Author Posted October 14, 2010 I kind of have no choice in the weight loss matter. I had a weight loss surgery like four months ago. So the 9 pounds is typical. I am trying to take advantage of the quick weight loss now. I have 44 to my goal. I am 189 now .. got surgery when I was 240 and started my journey when I was 275. Anyway I am rambling. Thanks for the warning though
