I finally started going to the gym. Tips?
This is my 3rd week of working out every other day at the gym, and I am going strong! I really think this is going to be the time that I stick with it. It helps that both my H and I have been going together and he has been acting as my trainer. He's been kind of planning what equipment I should use and how long, and while I'm on, say, the elliptical, he'll go lift weights or run on the treadmill. We're both really glad we're sticking with it.
Does anyone else go to the gym regularly? My goal is to tone up through out my lower half and also to tone my upper arms. I'm wondering what specific equipment, routine, etc worked for you, or what do you recommend?
Re: I finally started going to the gym. Tips?
Hey Lauren
I lost 10 lbs last year (and unfortunately gained back half of it since slacking off this summer.. but I just joined a new gym adn plan on getting back to it).
I did this by attending the cardio weightlifting classes. According to the trainers at my gym, the cardio weightlifting classes are really good because you are getting in your cardio with the fast paced movements but you are also toning up. I leave those classes feeling exhausted by great. On the days that they don't have those classes, I will usually just do the elliptical machine for 20 minutes and then do some ab stuff and legs, depending on what I feel like doing. I will also sometimes take a yoga or pilates for relaxation and flexibility.
Good luck! I just joined Shapes with a bunch of coworkers and we are all pushing each other to go, which is great motivation, so I'm hoping to lose about 10 lbs before the Holidays.. I want to be that pre-wedding weight again
DH and I are starting our second attempt at P90X since we moved before we could finish last time. Having DH as a workout partner has really helped me too because it keeps me motivated.
I don't have any sage wisdom since I only workout in my living room these days, but good luck with your new workout program. I am happy to hear that you are enjoying it and getting the results you want!
Thanks girls, I'm happy that you say you do the elliptical for about 25 minutes because that's how long I do it too
Aly- unfortunately it's the gym at our neighborhood's club so you have to be a member
You could come as a guest some time if you wanted!
Kendra- GL with P90X! I have been meaning to email you to update you- I got that job! We had like a month of interviews and they finally offered the spots to a few of us last week. I start training for it by the beginning of Oct.
Haha, I'm such a tool
I know you're kidding though, lol. I know that if you walked in with me, the people at the desk wouldn't care
