[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1879384, member: 365308"] Hi . I am a trainer and as people have said an induction with a quick check of your fitness to exercise is usually included but not all gyms do this. If not I';d be happy to put a simple beginner programme up here. We have some nifty gym software that comes with pictures! The principles are: [B]Warm up for 5-10 mins (10 if very unfit or over 60) 15 minutes of cycling, walking, rowing (cardiio) 2 x 8-15 (8-12 for most and 10-15 for the over 60s) reps using the large muscles groups e.g. leg press, chest press, lat pull own (back) and shoulder press Build up the reps and increase the weight once it feels easy Muscles are key for insulin resistant diabetics and for the over 60s and diet should take care of any fat loss required though some High Intensity intervals can help but these should not be attempted if you are unused to exercise.[/B] More important remember that the gym bunnies all look like they know what they are doing but they don't or certainly didn't when they first stated either...
