Ladies that go to the gym - What is your routine like?

I am going to join the gym this week and im so excited. I was doing the videos on demand for a while but with 2 kids constantly at my side - it was not happening.
I feel like a new fish in a pond at the gym now! I did a free trail last week and tried to put together a routine.
I did 20 minutes trendmill, 20 minutes elipitical or stairmaster and i want to get some weights in - clueless about them.

My question is how much time do you spend at the gym? How often do you go? and what is your routine there?

I need some ideas. I really am determined to get my body back and shed these last 20 lbs by the summer.

Please share. Thanks!

Re: Ladies that go to the gym - What is your routine like?

Right now I have a trainer two times a week but that is up in a few weeks.

I also take Zumba two times a week.

My plan is to go to Zumba three times a week (Now I can bring the baby into the daycare, I didn't want to do it before he turned 5 months) and start doing hard cardio on the mornings when I was seeing my trainer (twice)

So, all in all I want to do 45 minutes of cardio twice a week, and Zumba three times a week.

I will throw in some weights here and there but for now I need to focus on cardio to shed the pounds!

Good luck!
