Ay.
Within the next three days my mother and I are undoubtedly joining a gym to get in shape! Yay! I'm excited as, I do quote the Disney movie 'Cars', "A tornado in a trailer park." but... I'm scared. When I think 'gym' I think of beautiful perfect people in an unshakable world, with perfect people looking down on me for being out-of-shape, and perfect people telling me exactly what to do, and being frustrated and judgemental when I don't do it right. I'm the paranoid type that feels all eyes are always on me, and I'm just scared for some reason... Can anyone help me get over this unfounded fear? Of course there's always the typical, "What's it matter what others think?! you're there for yourself!" But that phrase is easier said than put into action. Help peeze?   I have the voices of a million encouragements driving me, but the shyness is my problem. |

While I agree with everything Reidar said, there's one thing I could say that is allowed. Granted that you're prepared. You in fact can do cardio and weight lifting in the same session (weight lift right before or after cardio) Between the two, you need to drink protein... this will feed your muscles, but on top of that you'd also need carbs, which will feed your body energy.
There's nothing to be afraid of, the only thing you need to worry about is your training and your diet. Go to this site, and sign up for their forum board, you will get PLENTY of information. Remember that diet is most important. Don't be scared of the word diet either, it's not a form of suffering what so ever. You'll get plenty of info, trust me: www.bodybuilding.com/forum These are very very respectable people who would never give you wrong info, if they did... people will call them out on it and would further inform/help you. |

You would need to wait a while to taper the carbs over a span of time to create an insulin spike for the recovery processes (biochemical supercompensation). That's not really one session.

That's not really one session. O.O I dunno I just drink a protein shake, and a "Ripped Fuel" and I get through it well. I just never do leg work outs and cardio on the same day. As for insulin spike, I keep that in the morning (which is also when I go to the gym) as a wake up call/energy booster. |
