Good post.
I mentioned having 2 gym memberships.. One of them "crossed" to an upgraded facility.. This time (the 3rd) is at the same gym the other 2 were at, so I am still "on file."
When I signed up the very first time (at the older place), they did do an induction where they have you do some strength excersizes and determine your capabilities..
They then had a computer where it would actually recommend a training program..
It's neat you bring that up, and leads me to 2 other questions..
First, do you think the computer-generated workout plan is a good one, that is worth following?
Secondly, do you think my original suggested "workout routine" (taken, 2, maybe 3 years ago) would still be useable, or is it best to do the "induction" again? I am not sure if my old "routine" is still available, and I honestly didn't really follow it, as my dad had his own ideas about what I should be doing, but this time I am going into this on my own accord, so I am more "free" in that sense. Also, I wonder if it is possible do to the induction again, or if it's a one time only thing?
Thanks for the reply!
