Topic	I signed up for a gym membership

I don't understand why people go to a gym just to do cardio, but then again some people don't understand why I'd want to go to a gym than lift weights. But it's much easier to buy a cheap exercise bike than to buy a bunch of dumbbells, a bench, etc. I guess that's besides the point so long as you can afford it and actually use your membership, even if it's just to walk on the treadmill. well for one thing, my neighborhood and city arent very pedestrian friendly, so if I went out to walk or jog a few miles it would be on road shared with bikes and cars. On top of that, its more embarrassing to be a fat guy running on the street than a fat guy running on a treadmill - at least thats what I think others think. I dont have room in my apt for a treadmill or bike, so thatsout. I could do some cardio without a machine, but paying for the membership and knowing theresa place I can go to get my steps in gives me more motivation and less distraction. Or at least, thats the hope. At every gym I've been to, it has never taken me long to find out that I'm not the most out of shape person there, which is more or less all I need to not feel self conscious about lifting. And I get self conscious about everything, trust me. Ill see it when I believe it haha You should try lifting a bit, it's good for everyone, contrary to a popular belief that weight loss should be strict cardio. And you're not gonna turn into some "muscle man" by accident, trust me. That takes a lot of dedication I just meant I dont want to waste my time doing exercises that are meant for building muscle when I could be doing something more geared towards shedding pounds. Like I said, I need to read more up about it. But yeah obvs any excessive is going to be better than none and Im not going to accidentally be a bodybuilder lol JOExHIGASHI posted... The machines have instructions on them If you use free weights then look up proper form first Like I said, maybe in a couple of weeks Ill give it a go. free weights are a definite no-no though.
