I'm 5'8" and 170lbs lean, and I don't even train or eat right. In fact, I walk around hungry most of the day because my mom never cooks.

When I was 15, I joined a gym. But I couldn't figure out how to use any of the machines. And the diagrams confused me even further, so I never went back. :(

Is it considered ok to ask the people who work in the gym, to show you how to use all the machines? I felt like they would laugh at me and say GTFO.

I really want to the gym again, regularly. I think of the body, the life what could have been by now, and it saddens me.

In the meantime, I also always feel malnourished. As someone who doesn't train, what vitamins/supps can I take to maintain health and assist bodily growth?

i asked this question in another forum and they said that staff can usually assist you with machines as in telling you what it works. in high school i remember some of the machines having instructions on the side as well..

btw, source on cop? fucking gorgeous.

The employee's at the gym are there to help so ask them. Most of the gym's in my area have into courses when you sign up taking you through all the machines, personally i'd just ignore them as free weights are alot better than dicking around on machines.

Don't ever feel afraid to ask people working at the gym how to use machines. I wouldn't recommend machines because they tend to be a little "LOL ISOLATION" but whatever works. As for the malnourishment thing, take a multivitamin and start drinking protein shakes. Put olive oil and flax seeds in them and that should cover a lot of your fats and protein.

find a multivitamin that gives an adequate amount of everything. anything suitable for vegetarians would do. the people who work there would be happy to show you how to use the machines. you should go if you still want to keep in shape. take up running for starters, every other day. then try to make it into a daily routine.

A gym is supposed to have a trainer that will help you build a program and answer your questions while you're working out. Ask for a trainer when you get to the gym.

At my gym they offered a free, one-hour beginner's course when you signed up.

A personal trainer walked me around and showed me how to use six of the machines and explained the movements, the muscles trained, and how to hold my body while doing the exercises.

Once I got used to working out in front of other people and learned gym etiquette, I started doing research on the internet about free weights.

Again, when I had any questions I got a personal trainer to show me how to do the exercises. It only takes a few minutes and most are fitness freaks themselves who love explaining and teaching these things.

Deadlifts, squats, and cleans take all of 5 minutes to learn.

tl;dr ask the trainers, it's their job and hopefully their passion as well

as long as you ask nicely and without interupting (don't ask in the middle of their set or something like that) them you can ask anyone in the gym
most will happily help you
