Congratulations on your purchase! where do you start? By walking in the door!

Seriously, where you start depends on your goals, like Leesa said. The cardio equipment might be a good spot to start whilst you get used to the environment. Or a class if your pass allows. Don't be frightened of your beginner status!

Just make sure you warm up and cool down sufficiently, and don't forget to stretch!!!!!

I strongly advise against weights unless you are taught the CORRECT technique. If you want to have a go at something - grab one of the instructors on the floor and get them to teach you! Or see if your pass will include some sort of instruction session.

Having a training partner really helps! You and your DH will love it! I used to go with my DH 6 days a week! These days our work life interfers - I do shift work and he works long hours!

I hope you enjoy it and keep it up! And so glad you're taking part in Around The World!
