With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

Also when doing reps do you do three reps in a row with a slight break, or do you go through all the machines three times?

Do all reps for each machine before going onto another (example chest press do the total reps there before going on). -------------- Less Talk, More Chalk!

What I have been doing is a 5 minute warm up of cardio, then go throught the few machines (it's a free YMCA small gym). Usually it's 3 leg machines (sorry don't know names) then like 4 arm machines and then I do crunches. Then I try to get 30 minutes of cardio in there. Is that effective or should I try something else? I am 200 pounds looking to lose weight and tone up, most of my weight is in my belly. Thanks for any and all advice
