exercise tips anyone?

I recently joined the gym as I am trying to lose some weight and have started eating healthier - as one of my many new year's resolutions. I would really like to get into a good routine of exercising regularly and eating healthy, so that I have more energy as well as more confidence in myself. I was wondering whether anybody has any tips for exercising at the gym? the best way to exercise to lose weight, etc. I would really like to hear your opinions! I hope everybody had an amazing nye! I am very excited about 2009 and all it's possibilities. I plan on squeezing as much into the year as I possibly can and living life to the fullest :) If you would like to share your resolutions or your hopes for the year, I'd love to hear them also.

HAVE A FUN WEEKEND!

  1. you should probably run for about 15 mins or so. Then do free weights for about 45-50 mins (no you don't end up as a bodybuilder). Get someone to make a plan for you to follow (ask at the gym) and go like 4 times a week...e.g go on mon + tuesday...wed off... thurs + fri....sat off... and just continue like that with the day off after 2 days of work out. And every 2-4 week you add more weight to it. Good luck!
