I have found that I just can NOT use one machine for 40 min - one hour. I get bored, so I do dance classes (another good option- dance classes are a lot of fun and have a great community dynamic). It was where I started, but branching out worked better for me.
lilbay- how are you starting strength training? Are you doing it solo or with a class (my personal favorite) or trainer?
