Hi!
I've just joined a new gym near my house1. The equipment is great, but I'm not sure about the best time to go2.
Do you think mornings or evenings are better for exercise? And what's the best way to start when you haven't been to a gym for ages3?
Maybe we could meet at the caf� next door to the gym next week4?
Best wishes,
Chris
