    What are you doing at the gym?
    I spend about an hour on strength training with Nautilus machines. I've been slowly upping the weights on those. I also normally do 1/2 hour on a treadmill. My knee went wonky, so I've slowed down and tried the eliptical machine. Dog walking twice a day continues.

    Plan your workout ahead of time. Know what your are going to do before you go in there. Go in, do it.

    You are there to work not for socializing, keep it serious.

    You can lift more than you realize. Go heavy. Push yourself.

    Stretch.

    If trying to lean out keep your heartrate up by doing supersets or intermittent short bursts of cardio between sets.

    Make sure you are using proper form on all excercises.

    Concentrate on compound movements.

    Those are my personal tips.

    Nice! However thats alot of clock watching for me. When im not in a class I normally do one machine with a towel over the time and just listen to tunes or watch tv. Keep it up!
