Accountability

so excited yet nervous……
I have had access to a gym at work, and my friend and I usually skip the weights and just walk and talk for 30 minutes every day at lunch…And then I complain because I have no time to lift weights because I can’t join a gym cause I have to pick up my kids..and the gym I could join kids have to sit still near you (uhh hello, 8 year old and 6 year old sitting still lol..they wanna work out too) sooooo I decided to utilize the gym at work instead of walking…cause my kids and I walk after work…..

Okay, on to my question…..the gym is just made up of some circuit machines….So its not the best, but I am not complaining cause I am excited…however where do I start…how much weight how man reps? Its been awhile …Thanks in advance 

Found some one that was willing to walk me thru each machine there is only 4 machines but if you do everything that each once is made for its 8 different things and i did 3 sets of 15 on each of them. Today I am SORE as all get out...was a little sad that there was only 1 leg machine and it only had 2 different functions but Hey, guess ya gotta start some where.

Does anyone else have any input? when should i go for a little more weight ect?

I'm no pro and hopefully others will chime in, but keep it simple.

Focus on form above all else. Being sore is good. Shoot for ten reps to start, three sets per machine, then move that up or down depending on fatigue level and goals.

Unfortunately machines/weights don't have a one size fits all routine, you can adjust rest, weight amount, sets, reps, intensity, etc depending on what you are trying to achieve.

Depending on who it is showing you how to use the machines, I may get a second opinion from you tube university. Again, form is key, especially when starting out.
