Advice please...new to the YMCA

I'd love to incorporate weight machines into my workouts, especially for legs. Unfortunately I really don't know what I'm doing. I've only lifted with Firm and Cathe for the past 6 years and I've had GREAT results with Cathe. So my question is which machines, how many reps, how many sets, and how long of a rest between sets. Someone posted about drop sets and that sounded challenging, but which machines? I think I get enough of an upper body workout with Cathe, but I could have gone heavier on a recent S&H rotation. Thanks. CinDee

Since you belong to the Y, they no doubt have personal trainers on their staff who they can match to your needs and ablilty. I just started to work as my local Y as a personal trainer, so I know this would work very well for you. You can have the option of doing one or several sessions, and the cost is very reasonable. Please check it out.

Just Do It!

They did mention that, but I thought I could do it myself. Now that I think about it, your suggestion sounds like the smart move. I've been doing home workouts so long by myself it would be nice to have someone correcting form, spotting, etc. Thanks for the input. CinDee
