Kent

Depends on what my friend who works there tells me what to do!! lol.

If I get to choose for cardio I like the treadmill and rower and for resistance/weights I like the leg press and 5kg dumbells sat on the exercise ball x

"Chocolate vending machine "

I suppose putting money in and pulling the draw out (do they still do that ?) burns off a few calories .

Somewhere in North Norfolk

When I was going to the gym regularly I had a set programme. I did my cardio programme one day then the resistance programme the following day, then back to cardio. I had one, or occasionally two, rest days each week.

Between both programmes I probably used around 90% of the kit.

For cardio I mainly used cross trainer, rowing machine, treadmill, recumbent bike. On resistance days I used most of the resistance machines plus did some things with free weights. From what I recall...biceps, triceps, pecs (pec deck), chest press, seated row, various exercises for the various ab and core muscles (including swiss ball work, lats (lats pulldown), glutes, adductors, abductors, leg curls and leg extensions, leg press. I've almost certainly forgotten some. I had to use a programme card to remember it all at the time.

I also did some work for flexibility and balance on most days, and I took some classes - yoga/pilates/body combat/spinning etc. I was also taking kickboxing classes elsewhere.

Sometimes I added in new things for variety, like the kicky punchy martial arts training machine, (which probably has a proper name!)

I wanted to learn to do more with free weights, like squats, and use the machines less but my trainer was reluctant to teach me. I was gradually learning stuff but that gym seemed to have issues with teaching use of the weights to women. I'd got as far as bicep curls, some tricep exercises I can't remember the name of and some of the work done on a bench but I really wanted a primarily free weights based resistance programme.

These days if I go to the gym it's for the jacuzzi! I really must get back to training. Once upon a time I had half a clue what I was doing and I enjoyed going.

love the running machines, maybe it's because the cross trainers are in front of them and most of the women use them!

I used to like the recumbent bike but my knees are crumbling so I can't use it any more

Treadmill for controlled interval training. I know it's not as good as running outdoors but I accept that for tge compromise of being able to be very structured in the sessions.

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

I think I need a personal trainer to get me up in the morning, give me a warm up session, put me through my paces and then cool me down and give me a massage.

I like free weights mostly, but really I'd love to find a gym filled with rocks, logs, sandbags, water barrels, sledgehammers and other real world lifting equipment, those sort of objects are incredibly hard to work with, but so much fun.

If you find a good one, tell him he's got another client!

I've never used kettlebells before, though had an idea about possibly replicating them via threading some rope/chain through a weight plate or two.
