I need help with a work out routine for the gym.?
March 10th, 2010 | by admin |I am getting married at the end of September and I would like to get into shape. I have just joined a local gym and cannot afford a trainer. I am doing a step class on Mondays, Yoga tuesdays, and Cardio Kick boxing on Thursdays. As far as using the machines and doing some cardio on my own, I have no clue where to start as I have never been a gym member. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do on those other days and what machines I should use when? Thank you so much!
Wow, you already do quite a bit. All that alone will produce results in a month or two, but if you want to speed things up, using the cardio machines is your best bet. And the best thing is, you can’t really go wrong no matter what you do. It’s probably best to find the machines you prefer to use the most. This means you’ll be more eager to use them on the days you go to the gym (instead of making excuses and avoiding them cos you hate using them!!). Once you’ve got the machines you like do 5 minutes to warm up, 20 minutes of fairly hard work, then 5 easy minutes to cool down. All the machines have built in resistance (or uphill work for the treadmill). After your 20 minutes becomes easy (probably a week or 2 if you keep up with all the other stuff), increase the resistance. As long as your working hard for those 20 minutes, and your enjoying it, you’ll see results faster than you think.

The American College of Sports Medicine offers guidelines for cardiovascular, flexibility and resistance training. The guidelines are flexible enough to allow you to pick your own exercises but have enough structure to get you going when you first start out. They are pretty easy to follow and will make your workout easier and more efficient.
