Ok, I admit it, I love working out at the gym. I used to run outdoors but that used to be when I felt safe, and I don't feel that as often especially since I can only run during the night- and I live in wine country so it is out there.

So, I joined the gym on Monday and have been going everyday (6 out of 7 for me). I go for about two hours if I have the time, and if my body lets me.

But one thing is that I usually don't have a set routine, should I have one? I just go with the flow and do feel that maybe I need better ideas.

I use the elliptical, stationary bike, treadmill....and stretch/crunches. But I feel a bit strange thinking others have a routine and I don't...

Any ideas?

I am new to this board btw.

    Wander into the weights section of the gym; that's where the routine will matter most. Try New Rules of Lifting or Stronglifts to get a good idea of how a routine should go. (:
