Depends what ya aiming for, fitness?, body toning? or bulking up?
Fitness ya wanna do cardiavascular (spelling) work, running swimming rowing etc etc
Body toning ya wanna do lots of repetitions with lighter weights
Bulking up ya wanna do as much weight as you can handle and do less reps, if ya can do 10 its too light, and repeat this in sets, its painfull but no pain no gain

You swam about 7 lenths and are worried about joining the gym. I can just about do 1 lenth and then i've had it. However, on a good day i've done 40 minutes on the tread mill but usually aim for around 20 minutes and then a few weights. The bikes are goo in are gym now, they have PS2s
That's good going if you swan 7 lenths, you'll have no probs in the gym.

If your just starting i wouldn't do anything too specific at the moment, i'd work on your general fitness for 2-3 months, mainly cardio, abit of weights if your bored but nothing near your max weights.

when u go on to weights do pyramids  its wat im on and its the best of both worlds.... 3 sessions of cardio a week for an hour and 3 sessions of pyramids for an hour to... then u'll feel the effects in no time but as Carlo said dont do it for 2/3 months just do some simple stuff to get into and also best thing u cud do is go out for a run mate
