    QUICK TIPS
    - All machines have diagrams stating the major and minor muscles being worked on.
    - The first thing to look out for is the adjustment levers, which usually are bright coloured so that they stand out.
    - How heavy should you lift? The weights should be heavy enough to fatigue your muscles within 8 - 15 repetitions, but not too heavy that you struggle to complete a full range of motion.
    - If you are new to the movements, you can always start slightly lighter and slowly increase the weight as you get more comfortable with the machines.
    GYM MACHINES

    I just watched another video which basically just showed that you can adjust the machines, but didn't really go into detail about how you should adjust for proper form or how to actually do the exercises, so this video is helping answer those questions. Thanks!

A followup question I have is does it matter what order of muscles you start working out? I know some guys joke about "leg day" and I was wondering if some people just work out certain muscles each day.
