For the past few months, I have been working out on an eliptical machine at home, but FH and I finally got ourselves new memberships to the gym!!! It has been a few years since I have worked out at the gym; I feel so out of the loop!! I had a perfect routine going and now I have to start from square one!!! Any advice? I actually love weights, but everyone has suggested I start strictly with cardio and work my way back up!!!

Re: I'm back to the gym!!!! What next?
Try some of the aerobic classes. It's so much more fun than than doing the treadmill or the bike or the stairmaster.
What gym did you join?
Also, maybe a body sculpting class instead of weights, because you are being told what to do and the instructor can help you with your form.

Thanks for the advice!!!! I have been out of the loop so long with working out and I just want to go back to everything I worked myself up to!!! I joined a gym near where I live in Brooklyn, its called Body Elite, I don't think its a chain. Classes scare me because I feel like I would never be able to keep up, but I have to get over that.

That's how I felt at first too (I walked out of my first Step class), but once you get into the class it is so much better then just working out on a machine. I actually look forward to all my classes. The instructor and the music is what makes the class.
Well if you want to drive out to East Quogue you can always try a class with me. It's really far though, but you are always welcomed.
Find someone in you gym you may want to take a class. Do it together. I swear it is so much better.

You should keep lifting wieghts, just get a trainer, or have someone you know teach you the right lechniques.
When I started working out reularly 8 years ago, I just did wieght mostly and lost 5 lbs or body fat and gained muscle in only a month. I went down in clothes sizes.
