    Start on trendmill and work your way around gym. Watch others routine and follow the crowd. Key is to go 3-4 x's a week. And watch ur in take of food. GL 40 should be easy beore June. Nail it and get ur results!!!

    I'm 44 as well and have a goal to lose 25lbs. I've been on a solid routine but hit a plateau so I've changed it up. Went on a hard core low carb low fat high protein diet and started hitting a cycling class at the gym. Burning 1200 calories with this class and seeing results. Good luck!

    You'll learn a lot quickly about nutrition by browsing the discussions here. For working out, start with what you know, walking, and expand your repertoire from there.
