Today was my second day going to the gym. I finally got to the gym on Wednesday and went again earlier today. I've been doing some running the past couple weeks, and went ahead to the gym to join. I haven't joined yet, but will next week I think. Anyway, here is what I've done...
It's all been on hydraulic machines. That's the most that they have, and I did not have anyone to even attempt the free weights. All the people doing the frees were pretty big and I didn't feel like that was for me at this point. Before I haven't lifted weights in a gym for a good number of years.
When on the machines, I would pick a weight and do a rep. If it was comfortable, but not too comfortable, I'd do 20 of them. Take a quick breather, then 15, then 10. And that was it for that machine. I did probably 6-7 different machines working most all of the upper body. In between each machine I would do 25 crunches on the machine and 25 of the ones that you go backwards on I guess for lower back. Before starting on machines I would do 50 on each of the crunch machines. Wed. I would say I was working out for 40 minutes, and did alittle run on one of the mills there. Today was probably only 25 minutes, I ran out of time.
Am I going in the right direction? I could def. feel it Thursday morning and throughout the day. I felt one muscle in particular that I had the most trouble with still today, but it's better since doing some more lifting today.
Thanks.
