Hello.
I joined a gym back in June 2009,lost nearly 3stone. Stuff happened and I stopped going and gained all my weight back.
Anyway I am now back at the gym and eating healthy (and lost 10lbs last week,woohoo)
BUT the guy who did my gym induction and that Ive paid twice for a gym programme is just useless!
1st of all he hasn't shown me half the stuff in the gym so I dont get to use many things.
And 2nd and most importantly the programme he has given me this time around is just absolute rubbish,I only get to go to the gym 2 or 3 times a week and I always come home feeling like Ive not done anything. I want to work out and feel like I have actually worked out!
Also he has just given me tons of cardio and hardly and weights/toning exercises even though I told him that as I'll be losing sooooo much weight I want to tone up as I go. But he just kept saying that there is no point working my muscles coz Id have to do tons of cardio to get rid of the fat first.
So now I just wanna cry or bang my head against a wall!
Could someone please please help me with an exercise plan or give me some toning exercises to try.
This is what my gym instructor gave me as a plan.......
Cross trainer 5-8 minutes on level 2
Bike 10 minutes on level 5
Treadmill 20 minutes on level 5
Pec fly 30reps
seated row 30reps
leg press 30reps.
Thats it!! Thats what I paid for! He didn't show me anything else,no rower,no free weights,nothing.
ok sorry that has kinda turned into a rant but I so want a decent exercise plan so I can lose this damn weight.
I would go and complain to the gym instructor guy about it but Im not really confident enough to do that!
Thanks if you've managed to read this far.
