Lightbulb Looking for a good gym routine

I have a membership to the gym, and access to sessions with a personal trainer. However I'm too shy to meet with one. I'm just a little confused about what to do. I usually only use the elliptical or the treadmill. I find they help me burn the most calories. I'm just not sure if I should be doing something different. I mean I'm sure some exercise is better than none at all, but I don't want to be doing something that will take forever to see some results. If any one has some advice they would like to share I would greatly appreciate it.

I'd suggest maybe adding some weight training to your routine if you don't already do it

OMG if you have access to a personal trainer take it!! Put your shyness aside, you will not be sorry, he/she will answer any and all questions you have about weight training and exercise... Go for it!!

Most def hook up with a personal trainer. You can burn more calories adding resistance training to your program. For example, using five pound weights while doing lunges.
