OK, speaking as someone who has had a love/hate relationship with gyms, here's what I've learned:
* Figure out why you are doing it. Do you want muscles? Do you want to be toned? A stronger heart? Lose weight? Once you do know, you'll be able to make your way a lot easier.
* Read a little bit about it to get an idea of what to do. The 'For Dummies' series helped me a lot because I didn't really know what to do or how to do the exercises and most of the information I found was written by 'exercise gurus' that really just wanted to plug in their services and products.
Really. It's a lot easier for that.
Personally, whatever goal you choose...I think you are quite amazing as you are. :-)
