Help twid come up with an exercise regimen

[Nephew Twiddleton]

So i got my sweatpants and my sneaks and i got on the treadmill at school and... Now what? The school has recumbent and upright cycles amt adaptive motion trainers whatever that means elliptical fitness crosstrainers and dumbells and barbells. Ive never really worked out before much less gone to a fitness center so im a bit lost and dontknow what half the stuff is.

CROSSTRAINER ON THE HIGHEST SETTINGS.

10 HOURS A DAY, EVERY DAY, NO EXCEPTIONS.

Trust me, I'm an expert.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Not possible. Is closed on weekend.

Seriously, cardio and resistance training is probably the best way to go.  I prefer the crosstrainer for a warm up, then hit the treadmill for 20 minutes or so.  Resistance training before the cooldown.

Usually you can ask a personal trainer at the gym for an induction in how to use the machines at no extra cost.  You can also swap out resistance training with something like Yoga instead, if that is your kind of thing.

Sweet thanks cain. I spent 45 min on the treadmill and felt pretty good after but i definitely needed to adjust back to an unmoving surface so maybe that was too much time. Providing i get to work early tomorrow ill be going back over there in the evening.

It was quite good. I'm getting in the habit of taking the long way to practice. And it seems like we have 3 new songs in the works, one of shich is pretty fast. I've also officially been put on lead guitar duties since Pat wants to do more rhythm and give me more solo work.

I dodn't know if it's for you, but I recentlu bought a pedometer. The goal is 10,000 steps per day. It works for me.:

Beware Free Weights and "Gaining"

Before you know it, it becomes an obsession and you're training or carb loading 7 days a week and you don't get out (the gym) much anymore cos whenever you're not lifting or stuffing your face full of protein, it's time wasted. All teh chicks would love to play with that awesome body but you don't meet chicks anymore, apart from the ones who are just as busy looking hawt as you are and don't have time to socialise.

That might actually be pretty good.

While I wouldn't mind being a little defined, my main interest in weights would be in getting a strength boost for practical purposes. Spending too much time becoming one of those obnoxious dudes on the train who don't put their arms down would cut too much into my being a useless slacker time. Besides, Villager's already satisfied with my appearance for some odd reason.
