Gentlemen,

I recently joined this gym that is designed for fighters. It has all of this state of the art equipment, bags, treadmills, etc. It's great, but the people who run it ignore you unless you pay extra for a personal trainer (who designs a program for you based on your goals, and helps you execute it). Unfortunately, between my bagua fees and gym membership I can't swing a trainer. And I signed a year-long membership because it was much more affordable than a short-term one.

I've never lifted weights regularly and know nothing about what I should be doing to enhance my bagua and physicality in general. Without guidance, I'm just sort of piddling around and I feel its a waste of time. I've got everything at my fingertips, but don't realy know where to start.

Can anybody make suggestions regarding what I should be doing in terms of weight lifting? What should I work on? How often? Which specific exercizes? Any input would be appreciated.
