Most gyms post a circuit that you can follow that is composed of one brand of machines, such as Cybex or Life Fitness. There is a machine for every body part, and the machines are placed in a row. All you have to do is follow the machines, right on down the line. This is a great way to get used to using machines. If you haven't lifted weights before, you'll really see and feel a difference in your body within two weeks. The order of the machines is something like this:

• Leg extension

• Leg curl

• Leg press

• Chest press

• Shoulder press

• Bicep curl

• Tricep kickback

• Lat pulldown

• Cable row

• Abdominal crunch

• Back extension
