Im going to start working out in a gym at my apartments that has several different machines. They have: treadmills, eliptical, stair stepper, bike, free weights, and several different weight machines. I am just curious as to if anyone has any idea of any kind of exercise plan that would be ideal to start out with? If so, Id really appreciate to know. Serious answers only please.

I would recommend the eliptical because it is low impact so your knees wont be hurt or sore much. Still, ask your physician to see if you can work on it. Ask a trainer or someone in the gym if you want to.

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

Id ask a trainer there for their opinion. Personally would do a few minutes at each station. Find what you enjoy best than do 30 min.of that and another thing for 15 minutes. Change out every other day. Ellipticals are the best because they work most of your body.

buy some nano vapor, it metabolizes within 30 seconds of drinking which will provide more energy for a longer workout and get some protien. for breakfast eat low sugary fruits and grains for lunch eat a tuna sandwich with a salad for dinner eat chicken and rice all meals with protein shakes and snack atleast 4 times a day

there is a good weight loss and exercise plan in this article. any of the machines would be great. rotate them each time and keep notes on which you use and how long so you dont over do it on one

I think the best advice you could get would be from somebody who is there and could work with you to tailor your routiene to your needs and stuff you know?
