Just joined the Y

Hello, I just joined the Y after being at Gold's Gym for a couple of months. Not too sure what exercises I should start out with. Any advice? I can't swim at all so swimming is out.

If they offer a Zumba class....definitely try that ... you will love it!!!!! I take two classes a week. Mondays and Wednesdays and would do it 5 days a week if it was offered.

If you don't swim laps, you can take water aerobics, many of their other classes offered, row machines, various other cardio machines, spin classes, weight room, circuit classes.. the sky is the limit. If other Y's are the same they offer you quite a bit of one on one time to help you get acquainted with their equipment and classes. Definitely take advantage of any that is offered!:flowerforyou:

At my local Y they offer Zumba (love it!!), a cardiokickingboxing (love it too!) and a boot camp (total body conditioning) that kicks your butt! The only problem is that my schedule does nor match the classes most of the days so I swim. My local Y also offer a free welness/fitness section with a personal trainer, it may help you to create a routine based on your schedule.
