I'm not sure how you're spending you half hour at the gym but here's my 2-bits! 1 - Sign up for a FT program. The variation of exercised should keep your mind off the clock. 2 - Ensure a good mix of resistance training and cardio. If you want to slim down some, start some light resistance training to build a little muscle. It'll help burn more calories. An no, it won't make you BIGGER unless you're lifting monsterous amounts of weight! 3 - run "Motivation" in the FitBuddy search and see what you get. 4 - set acheivable goals. Not the "in a perfect world my end result will be..." type of goal. Set smaller achievable goals. And congratulate yourself when you achieve a goal. 5 - DON'T GIVE UP!!! The people on this site are GREAT, and then some. You've come to the right place. Snoop around, ask questions and enjoy! E. :big_smile:

It made all of the difference for me. As far as things to do, try one of the FT programs or sign up for some personal training sessions,it's what I did to get started, it took me about 15 sessions to begin to feel really comfortable, but now I'm in there with the "big boys":laugh: Good Luck and welcome to FT.
