I have a fitness center membership and signed up for 30 minute perrsonal training sessions 3x/week. Been doing that for two months. The trainer is a good fit for me and I'm improving.
Problem is I cannot retain what I'm supposed to do on each machine so I could work out properly without a trainer. Too many different machines, most machines have adjustments to be made to tailor it to your size before using it. Then you have what weight to set, how many times, etc. Even though I pay attention as he's setting up each machine we use, there are just too many variables for me to remember.
I see many people working out without a trainer so it must be possible. And I have average intelligence so it's probably not beyond my ability. Any suggestions? Or should I just wing it? Just don't want to injure myself out of ignorance or think I'm doing useful exercises when I'm wasting my time.
