"Most gyms will do an induction and show you how to use the equipment. " I normally just use the racks for my weights but was curious about the seated calf raise | |||

"So decided to try out the seated calf raise machine and I now have a lovely bruise in my hand. Some of these fancy machines are fecking dangerous Still a few in the gym I'm afraid to try out though Amy gym machines that intimidate you" The leg press machine continues to scare the bejasus outta me, always afraid I won’t rack it up correctly, one of these days it’s gonna fold me in half  | |||

"I wouldn't be too worried about machines, except maybe looking like an idiot trying to learn them. Free weights scare me a bit, I don't ego lift but I've seen what a bad form squat etc can do. My gym doesn't introduce people to machines but honestly most are fine, ask somebody whose using it for help" As a trainer I can say yes, whenever I have someone using free weights I'm near them, way more to go wrong than using the machines | |||

"I mainly do military press, squats, deadlift and bench press and try to add 3-4 complimentary exercises to my sessions. So mainly use a squat rack, bench etc " Sounds like you are doing ok with the weights. Load bearing exercises are super important for women of all ages. Esp older one's like myself 🤦♀️😅 | |||
