Advice Needed

I've just joined a gym. Anyone have any advice on what equipment I should be using to help weight loss.

Thanks,

Sarah

Most gyms provide some kind of personal trainer. I think if you ask, one will get you started

A trainer is a good start. Also the ellipilcal and the treadmill. Do those machinces with really good music to keep you motivated.

Personal trainers are expensive, but really are worth it. You don't have to go forever, just enough to learn the exercises, then get a primer from the trainer every here and again to get some pointers as you improve.

If you really can't afford a trainer, try working out near someone with a trainer and watch what they showing their client. You can break your back exercising, but if your form is wrong you will be wasting time (and could hurt yourself), so watch the form of folks when they work out with a trainer.

Go slow and feel the burn, instead of zipping through your work out. Yes, it hurts more, but it's that good pain (ok, it's good for you)

Finally, here! I love this site. Click on the body part and it shows you the exercise:
