Guest guest Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 Good morning, First off, Why will they only let you work out 3 days a week? Do they make you go on certin days. like you can only go M,W,F? If so could you get a 2nd membership there for T,TH,S? How about going to the gym on weight days & then running outside for cardio days? How about going to the gym on carido days and using homemade weights? a soup can, gallon of milk, etc If your brand new to working out you could do all the weight training with out any weights until get use to the form & breathing. exercises that can be down with out equipment: squats, lunges, abs, calf raise, pushups, jumping jacks, running, etc When I was in Army Bacic Training I went from 130lb size 12 to 130lbs size 7 in 2 months with out any equipment. I ran 2-5 miles on T,TH,S & did calistenics (SP?) M,W,F. Hope this helps Dani W > I can only afford the Balley membership for $18 per month which only > allows the use of their gym 3 days a week.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 ---Ihave an idea..just do your weight training at the gym so you can use all the weights...and do your cardio outside..like running..jumping rope..or even you could get away with a high intense tae bo video. how about that?

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 That's a standard thing with a Bally's membership. Those discount rates you see on TV for like $15/month or like that the fine print is that it's only 3x/week that you can work out. You get a card when you join and they will usually check it at the door. Su the Hobbit Re: 3 day a week workouts > Good morning, > > First off, Why will they only let you work out 3 days a week?

That would work out to 3 times a week. Can you do running outside for cardio? Colleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 I would agree, use the gym for the weights and do cardio on your own at home. A jump rope is the cheapest piece of cardio equipment you can buy (less than $10), although, I can't jump rope - makes me pee my pants. You could also try sprinting up steep grassy hills and walking back down. My neighbor had a trainer that would have her sprint up hills and then do side stepping squats back down the hill with 15lb dumbells. If you have access to a building with many flights of stairs, you could walk/run up the steps. Does your local library have excercise videos that you can check out? Some of the TaeBo tapes can be pretty intense. Ann > > I can only afford the Balley membership for $18 per month which > only > > allows the use of their gym 3 days a week.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 i only go to the gym 3 days a week, and do my cardio elsewhere (usually). i like having access to a full range of weight equiptment- but for cardio all you really need is yourself, a watch, and maybe a good pair of shoes. also, if you'd like to do swimming as your cardio, look into memberships at a local public pool. they're usually pretty inexepensive, maybe enough so to compliment/offset your gym membership. -cera Dani wrote: >Good morning, > >First off, Why will they only let you work out 3 days a week?
