Right now my only goal is definition and endurance... you said pretty much what the trainer said, Frank... right now I can kinda just work everything at once. On days when I don't do that, I'll be doing cardio and yoga at times to keep myself well stretched.
I figure if I stay there (the gym) longer than the 3 months I paid for and get used to actually working out, I'll probably be able to focus on particular things... right now I'm a kid in a candy store just trying to get a little of everything. |
Dan, to be honest, the trainers in the gym will get you on a beginner workout and keep you there forever. They don't have to work and they can keep cycling the same things over and over.
Send me your addy and I'll send you my copy of Starting Strength. That is what you need to do when starting out. 4 or 5 basic lifts, doing full body 3 days a week.
