Gym workouts
So i'm joining a new gym that has every kind of machine you could think of- and a pool. I just don't know what to do (like how many reps of each thing, and which machines should i use)
So if anyone could suggest a specific workout to do there that would be great.
also- how many laps should I swim and which strokes?
Today I did ten, but i don't know how much that is in comparison to a mile.
I'm teenage girl if that helps. I can run a mile at 5.5 mph without stopping- so I'm not completely out of shape or anything. I do need to lose about 20 pounds to be healthy though.
So I need a workout that will help me lose these 20 pounds.
thanks.

Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
Switch off every now and again on the Lipsicle(sp?), Tredmill, Stairmaster, any of those for around a half an hour a day. Add a minute onto that everytime you go.
Swimming, I'm not so sure about. But it really depends on how big the pool is. Let me google it:
Common distances:
Lap=1 length of the pool
1 lap of the pool=25 meters
4 laps of the pool= 100 meters or 1/16 of a mile
16 laps of the pool=400 meters or ¼ of a mile
32 laps of the pool=800 meters or ½ of a mile
65 laps of the pool= 1 mile
Standard mile is 1760 yards and 70.4 laps in a yard pool
don't know if that helps.
but uhm. Loosing 20lbs can be really easy if you put your mind to it. But working out isn't the only thing that helps. Remember to Eat Healthy and Drink Lots of water.

I'm not sure as to what exercise you should do because I can't really advise on that but if you've recently joined a gym most of them usually have their staff walkin around to help and assist the members (at least at all the gyms I've been to have and I've been to a low scale gym and to a higher scale gym as well) and they all are there to help you.
If you've paid to become a member and such you should seek their help and ask them to advise you on what you should do and how many reps you should do for maximum effect for the results you are looking to get. They get these questions all the time and are (or should be at least - if their not then I'd wonder why they are there at all) more than qualified to be able to advise you.
I'm a member at a place called David Lloyds and even though their membership is the most expensive where I live (we have 3 gyms in my town) all of them provide assistance and help when it comes to advising on what exercises their members should do. I was lucky when I had joined and was able to join a free program where they had arranged for me to meet with one of the people working there who went through and worked out a personalised plan for me.
