Workout inspiration for Fat Loss?

[Anonymous]

As the title says, I need some workout routine ideas at the gym with the goal of fat loss.

I'm 290lbs/131kg and 5'3/161cm.
I used to go to the gym before, but that was when I was a lot fitter. So now my fitness level is quite low, however I am still able to do more than I thought I could.
But considering my weight (running is a no no right now), could anyone suggest things for me to do in the gym. Especially weight training.
I currently just walk fast on a treadmill and use the cross trainer because I get too nervous about doing anything else. Thanks.

That sounds great. I don't know I say if you get a personal trainer. But yea weight training is good and you can loose some of the fat and gain weight in muscle as well

Muscle gain is definitely another goal, in hopes that it'll reduce the amount of loose skin I would end up with. But I just get overwhelmed by all the machines.
I would love to get a PT, but they're quite expensive where I live. So for now I can't

That is understandable. I think once you get used to the machines you will do better. Try things like try other things too

Like walking. Swimming. Playing a sport. Among other things like that. Dancing. Have fun. even doing yard work it is that time of year

Yea for sure. I get they can be intimidating

Thanks, I do most of those other things already. Just trying to find out ways to use certain machines and when to use them at the gym so I'm not just wondering about

Use the rowing machine. Go for strength training. Follow a split such as full body workout, or (chest tricep, biceps back, shoulder legs) .

If they have elliptical just do one of those for a half hour a day.

That's what I meant by cross trainer, just a different name for it :)
Trying to find different things to do, but thank you
