Well, my health has actually had enough of an upswing that I feel good enough to go to an actual gym in order to actually better myself physically and hopefully keep up medically. However, I don't know the first thing about exercise other than "lift with your legs, not with your back." Should I go with a bigger gym (24hour fitness is closer to me, but they're pozzed for certain) or a smaller one that may not have as many options? What vitamins and/or supplements should I stock up on to pair with exercise to ensure I'm not lacking anything essential, if any can't be obtained best with food? Any good starter groups of exercises to work into the whole routine?
Lambast me for being an idiot all you want, but there's a bunch of clutter around trying to learn about fitness, lots of people who lie or over complicate to get cash or attention. On the flip side, back in high school, the most the PE teacher did was say "This machine is good for this, those machines are good for that, go nuts" when unleashing the class on the weight room. Which didn't help either, because he didn't actually talk about actual healthy gym time or a good balance.
