New to Weight Lifting
Hi everyone, I am a newbie here on this forum and to weight lifting. I just startd working out at my local YMCA. I have had certain health problems so i was under dr. orders to take it easy on excercise for a few months. I just recently started working out. Very out of shape, but need to lose the weight to get healthy now that i am able to workout. At the Y i start by doing 7-10 minutes on this walking machine. Not a typical treadmill. I can't really explan it. Theni go to the nautilus room where there is a circuit of 11 weight machines, that work out the arms,abs,and legs. I usually go around the circuit twice and each time do about 10 of each move. The weights range from 30-50 depending on the machine. What i don't know is how many times should i go around the circuit and how many reps should i do on each machine. I have been doing it this way for two weeks. I go about 3-4 times a week. I found out the hard way that you should wait a day in between lifting weights. I did it 2 days and was in so much pain. Sorry this is so long. Any and all help or ideas is appreciated.
