My gym has all of the freemotion equipment but I have no idea where to start. Anyone have any thoughts? I dont wanna walk around the machine looking clueless and all the workers at the gym are college students :-/

Ask for someone to show you how to use it. Every company has a slightly different set up to their machines--how to program your own workout, how to set the timer and the display,,,pick the one you think you'll like the most and just ask. Most gym people love to talk about fitness and will think you are cool for wanting to get in shape.

You Tube has a wealth of personal trainer videos that show proper lifting techniques. I watched them until I went crosseyed and still watch them. Your smart to be cautious because you can really injure yourself if you do not use the machines properly. Plus if your not using correct form and posture you could possibly do more harm than good.

Hope that helps, Good luck!
