Hi! First off this is my first post so please bare with me...
Basically, I have started back at the gym about 3 weeks ago alongside my bf as my gym buddy, but I am a little lost. I haven't actually been the gym for two years as I had trouble with my knee and had to have an operation then just didnt get back into it due to money issues.
I am 19, Female, 5'6'' ish, and weight around 9st 2ish.
I am not looking to lose weight, as I have done that already due to a contraceptive pill I was on =S I would just like to tone up.
I am at current going the gym twice a week, Monday/Wednesdays.
I warm up on my way there as it is an uphill trek to get to where the gym is, and takes around 15 minutes.
When there I tend to do around 5-10 minutes on a rowing machine then about 7 minutes on a cross trainer just to keep on top of my cardio. Also one of these days I swim aswel.
It is the toning i need help with tho, at current i am trying to focus alot on my shoulder, legs and stomach.
I have been doing pull downs behing my head and also normally and some dumbell curls.
Also I have been on the machine (not sure what there called) but u sit and push the pads together with ur thighs it works your gluteals. and then the opposite one u push the pads outwards...if that makes any sense (sorry)
I have been using the balls to do sit ups 12 reps - 4 sets and have also used it to do press ups aswel.
I am probably doing this all VERY wrong which is why I would be very grateful of some help or advice.
Cheers!
