how much time should i spend on each machine in gym?
does gym really slowen the weight loss?

[kaylaS91]

You can spend as long as you want on each machine, though it's best to spend more time on the ones that include cardio if weight loss is your goal. Other than that, spend longer on ones that work muscle groups you're especially interested in working. If you want to tone your core, spend longer on the hanging leg-raises platform than at the pull-up bar, for example.

In my own experience, gym does not slow down weight loss. On the contrary, it'll speed it up because not only will you be decreasing your calorie intake if your'e also dieting, but you'll increase the amount of calories you burn throughout the day as well as after, as muscles that you build will have a higher metabolism.

You should do sets. For example 2-3 sets on each gym equipment you choose. Each set has 15-20 repeats

[Weirdlifegurl]

what is the meaning of the set?

[brain5000]

The first question is difficult to answer without knowing your particular fitness goals. Weight loss? Building muscle? You might consider scheduling a few sessions with a Personal Trainer and bringing that question to them.

You are converting fat to muscle, and muscle weighs more than fat, so it is possible the gym might slow down the weight loss. However, if you don't convert the muscle, the fat will simply shrink, leaving you with nagging cravings for food so it will replenish. You need to include some resistance training in your diet plan if your goal is to get thin.

... because you want to convert the fat to muscle, rather than simply shrink the fat. Sorry, upon re-reading realized it might help to add that. :)

it is very very difficult for me to get a personal trainer
my goal is to lose weight not to build muscles

[brain5000]

I didn't mean to suggest you want to go all Jay Cutler and become muscle-woman. No one really finds that attractive in a woman. But you do want to _replace_ the fat with muscle. That is what I am suggesting.

"Each machine" tells us nothing. It's the program you're on that matters. You need to be following an established program if you want to see results. Going to the gym without a plan and a schedule and a program to follow inevitably means you're wasting your time.

I believe in working one major muscle group once per week.
How many day do you want to go to the gym? That will dictate what you're going to work that day.
A set is one exercise of 8-12 reps (repetitions/repeat) You do 1 arm curl = 1 rep 8-12 arm curls (in a row) is 1 set. A minimum of 3 sets.
Total time should be no less then 30 minutes to 1 hr. I go over an hour on days I also do cardio.

It's not the time. It's the intensity (weight), volume (reps/sets) and rest between sets that makes a program good or bad. I'll assume you're a beginner so I'll recommend 3 sets of 12 reps on each exercise with as much weight as you can complete the set with. That'll accelerate your metabolism. Also free weights (barbells, dumbbells) are superior to machines, so give them a try.

Depends and yes absolutely. Go to bodybuilding. Com, look up Jamie Eason's program for women and treat it like the bible, you'll obtain any results you want with hard work and patience.

Spend anywhere between 1 to 2 hours in the gym, anything a after 2 hours is overkill
