fianlly after 8 months of waiting for my gym to open (long history). I decided it to find other gym in the area which was not that easy...

well, next week i`m getting my membership. Could you give me some pointers what I should be concentrating on after so many months of being a couch potato.....

I don`t wanna injure myself. So, I was thinking of starting with cardio and lightweights until I get myself back into shape.

Thnx for all the help :love::dumbbell:

Bicep... fill out your profile so you can be helped better...

Also, start slow... light workouts till you're comfortable with the weights and machines and so on...

I got my membership on Monday and today I did the my fitness assessment which states that I have gained 10lbs (184 lbs @ 5`10”) my fat is around 20% ...but my heart is in good condition

the guy at the gym tried to sell personal trainer sessions but at this time cannot afford it.

So now I need a plan of attack, but I`m going to need your help:

I`ve been told and also have read bb1fit`s post that says (if i understod it right) its better to do cardio on off days or after workout.

Also what workout would be better and for how long 3 or 2 or 1 day split ? and what exercises should I be concentrating on?

Thnx for all your help in advance
