Workout advice: Are there any good websites to get information for how to workout?

[Mrsupaakeru]

I've never been to the gym and as a result I'm skinny, untoned and out of shape. I haven't gone to the gym because I don't know any exercises or what to do at all. I'm 5'5 125 pounds and I want to be fit and I want to gain some muscle mass, but mostly I want to be toned. What exercises should I do? How many sets? Should I just get a personal trainer?

This is so I can feel good about myself. I'll look better, be better at physical activity and be stronger. If there is a good website please direct me to it. If you have good information please share

This is mainly for other men, but women can feel free to add their info.

Normally when you sign up for a gym then ask you if you want a tour/walk around. This is where a personal trainer, usually, takes you around and shows you how to work machines. It all depends where you want to tone/gain muscle as for which exercises you should do. But even if they don't ask you if you want a walk through, ASK THE PEOPLE WORKING! They're there to help you workout properly and to use the machines correctly. My ex is a personal trainer and whenever someone would approach him while he was working and asked him to help them/give them tips that would make his day. They want to help you, that's usually why they're working at the gym in the first place.

There are several websites, but you're right to question how reliable they are. If you know a trainer/doctor/nutritionist, they should be able to recommend a few good ones. To achieve your goal, though, you'd need to do weights, so you'd end up in a gym around trainers anyhow...

Try searching "work out" in the android market (or app store)

you'll find many useful (and most of them are free) apps to make you start and manage your workout exercises

[Yeahhbro]

bodybuilding.com is probably the best website I have seen about working out

[BlackStar]

You could always go onto YouTube and search something up

[redbjj]

forum.bodybuilding.com is a good place. Use the search function and look for advice there.
