Ok girls, I finally did it. I went to LI, got the free 3 month pass to Bally's. I was so excited when I finally got to start on Saturday. I went all dressed and ready, expecting a tour (hopefully including a tiny bit of instruction or advice). But when I met the "tour" guy there, he just filled out cards for us and said "have fun" and sent us on our merry way. He didn't even try to "sell" the club to us...just he figured he didn't need to. But anyway, I looked around and thought...well, I'm sure I can figure out a treadmill. So for the first 40 min, I walked on an incline of 3.5 and at a speed of 4.5-6 (I entered around 4.5 but after I set it the speed meter jumped up to 5.5 or 6--maybe it was "adjusting" because of the incline?). As I was walking, I just stared at the machines hoping I could watch someone and get an idea of what I should do but that didn't really happen. I know I can figure out the treadmill, elipticals, step climbers, and bikes (although the bikes they have are old and retarded), but the weight machines scare me. I fooled around and figured out a leg pushy machine (to work the inner and outer thighs) but that's it. I really need some help! What would be a decent workout? I have NO upper body strength so I should probably work on that too. If someone could give me a sample of what they do in the gym or advice on what machines to use, etc, it would be very helpful. Thanks
(btw, I you girls are my inspiration--I come on here and see how beautiful but also see how hard to work to stay that way and it really gives me a good kick in the butt!).![]()
