Cardio burns the fat and builds enduranace while the weights build muscle. She asked me to tell you that free weights are far better for you than the machines. Now, so far as cardio goes, she does the arc trainer (which is very close to the elliptical, and most gyms have one or the other or both) for 40 minutes. That's it. You could also walk the treadmill for 30-40 minutes, with intervals of high intensity/low intensity. So far as the weights go, there are generally signs posted everywhere. Usually you can find a sign where you can get info to hire a trainer. That's not real necessary. The trainers at the gym will help. They'll go through all the machines with you and usually they'll give you a schedule/circuit to do that targets different areas. If you just show up every day at the same time, you'll get used to faces and then simply ask someone who looks like they know what they're doing. Don't be afraid, they'll be glad to help, just catch them in between sets and be polite not to interrupt their workout. You may not get anything done that day, but they'll teach you, slow but sure. Then you can burn the rest of your time on the cardio machines. There's a thread here that the muscleheads have, I thinking it's called "Pumping Your Buddy with Zemekone and Icehog3" or something like that. I'm sure someone can link it up if you can't find it. You can ask questions there, and the guys here that lift will help. Okay, I think I've burned out my fingers.
