  • strenght training help needed asap

    ok fellow gymrats i need some help.
    Background:
    I love the gym i go almost everyday and i am now making myself get in at least 50 of cardio a day usually 30 ellpitical 20 treadmil or vice versa. So that is going good. But i REALLY REALLY need to add in some strenght training that i will keep up! I always end up dropping the ST from my ruitine. I bought a pilates video and did it for like a week, videos are no good for me as a i won't do them. I am intimidated by the downstairs part of my gym (ie the wieghts etc) and have often said oh i'll just do some cruches and lunges when i get home,...and well by the time i walk the mile and a half home i forget or talk myself out of doing them.
    what i need
    I need some help in starting and KEEPING UP a strength training rutine. Knowning myself it can NOT
    -be a video or dvd b/c i'll never do it
    -be longer than 30 min b/c i won't be able to make the time and i'll just give it up
    -can't be at home b/c like the video i won't do it

    basically i need some beginner exercises that i can do after my cardio for 30 min 3-4 times a week that will help me get some results....

    if this is possible and anyone has any suggestions i would be sooo thankfull...also if someone wanted to help motivate me and be my LA (Lazy-A$$es Anonymous ) sponser i would love you forever

    What gym do you belong to?


    I belong to the Ymca and Golds and they both offer weight training classes
    which makes lifting easier. Maybe your gym offers some classes?

          If you want some thing Quick 30 Minutes and easy 3-4 days a week then I would start up with Breaking Up your Body Parts into groups and doing sets of 12 for each Body part this way the Workout is quick and you will see results. I have some questions before I help you any more. How familiar are you with exercises Have you strength trained before or are you a Beginner, are you familliar with Proper for. I would suggest BFL but it takes into the 45 minute range soo that is too long. COme over to the Sarah's Bodybuilding Give me some details and I am more then Happy to help you out with what you need.

          GREAT JOB ON THE EXERSISE>
