I used to go to a gym and just "have a go" on all the equipment and use the treadmill, rower etc but never felt I was getting anywhere. It cost me quite a bit of money as I used to put off going there. I would "visit" maybe once a month and remain a couch potato for the rest of the time.

Then I read on this forum about Body for Life and bought the book and haven't looked back. Because it is structured and gives you a set plan to follow, I found it easy and love doing it. I am now in my 8th week of the 12 week challenge and look forward to continuing.

The book explains which weights to use for which muscles and the fact that you progress from week to week give you an incentive to do better.

Have a look at some of the gym logs here to get more info.

Good luck
