Default Back to Gym... ...a little timid

Well,

This week, I started using my gym membership that I have been paying for since last year. I have done pretty well except for today.

Earlier I started just doing cardio, but I knew that I could lose this "flab" quicker with some strength training on top of my cardio.

When I woke up this morning, I logged into fitsite.com and looked at some of the weight exercises that they recommend for each muscle. Today, I wanted to work on my upper body, so I did the following:

Side Laterals: 20lb 3 sets/10
Cable Pulley Upright Rows: 70lb (I think - I didn't writ it down) 3 sets/10
Alternating Seated Curls: 20lb 2 sets/10 & 30lb 1 set/5
Crunches: 3 sets/20
Lower Back Machine: 140 3 sets (I don't feel like this is working anything out)


During the workout, I felt that I was being stared at. Maybe because of my form, or was it because I looked lost and confused! I did pick up too heavy of weight when I was doing my Alternating Seated Curls, and couldn't do anymore. Then I look in the mirror behind me, and I swear dude was laughing at me!

Anywho, I think that I am going to go back again tommorrow and work the lower, but any suggestions, tips. etc??? Will this eventually pass (Feeling like a dumb~ss)

Thanks,
