I know that before I spent time in the gym I usually felt pretty listless but now that I have made my gym time a priority, I feel like a new person.

    

I am not a fan of the gym. I'd rather workout at home (exercise dvds) and I love to go for jogs. I signed up at a gym years ago and only went twice. It was a waste of money. It just seems more of a chore. You know, having to get ready, drive to the gym, find a parking spot, etc. By the time I got there, I didn't feel like exercising.
I do know some people who work out harder at the gym though. Having people around motivates them. I guess it just depends on the person.

I'm not too sure I understand the question. But ultimately, u have to ask what is your goal for working out? To look like person A? To get bigger? To tone up? To just be healthier?

These goals will determine how u work out and eat.

For example, if u want to get big u can eat a high calorie diet. Or if u want to tone up, then incorporate resistance training BEFORE u go jogging.

What is your goal?

Proper nutrition is a must. When working out, and staying in shape.
