[QUOTE="Waltherfan, post: 2110688, member: 12793"] Drink plenty of water. Like the Camelback ad says, "Hydrate or Die". That includes drinking water after you work out to. I'd stay away from the weight machines, they isolate muscles too much. Free weights are better as they work more muscles. Dumbbells are better than barbells. One arm can't compensate for the other. Better yet are no weights. Pushups and planks are great. Jumping jacks are also very good. Don't do more of anything than you can do with proper form. Once you get tired and start losing proper form you're setting yourself up for injury. Personal Trainers at the gym are good for guidance. My experience with them wasn't all good. They feel they need to push you and after my first workout with a PT I was so sore I didn't go back for three weeks. Go easy and go long. [/QUOTE]
