The machines at Gym are so stinkin' cool! They're making my treadmill at home look like a piece.
I learned how to use the machines (never been on an elliptical before) and how to do intervals - and when to stop doing intervals. At Gym I learn HOW and the book I'm reading tells me WHY.
Their machines show your heart rate, etc., and I'm using their heart rate straps until mine is delivered. NOTE: If you are going to start with a gym, see what kind of equipment they have so you can purchase the correct heart rate monitor that "talks" to their machines. Gym uses Polar and I am excited to get my own to wear! The strap communicates with their machines while there, and communicates with the watch when you're not.
It's important to know your heart rate and % of your maximum heart rate so you will be exercising at the correct levels for optimum results. Seriously, if I'm going to spend my time exercising, I don't want it to be worthless. I don't have time for worthless.
