I would definetely recommend doing strength training exercises if you want to look your best

If you don't know how to use the equipment at the gym, ask somebody! Whether it's another member or somebody that works there, they will most likely be more than happy to show you how things work.

As for exercises, I really enjoy the Body For Life lifting program. Check otu the link below for some great tips and a good beginners program that Trainerdan put together.
