I would never have though a month ago before I joined I would be one of those gym people. I always thought gym people were a bit weird and couldn't imagine the attraction

But I am wondering... am I really getting enough out of it? Let me start by telling you about my 'routine': I love the cross trainer and could happily spend all of my gym time on there but I try to mix it up a bit and do 20mins cross trainer then 20mins on the bike or treadmill and then some weights and swiss ball stuff. I really enjoy the cardio - it seems 'easy' despite the heart rate monitor on the treadmill reporting me at 185bpm after 15 minutes of jogging on 8kph. I don't really enjoy the swiss ball and weights stuff though... I'm too lazy to push myself although I do feel a little bit of soreness the next day

I have been to a couple of classes and plan to make myself go to at least 2 a week but I don't enjoy them as much because they really make me push myself (I know that is actually a good thing but I am a lazy gym junkie!).
So my question is - am I really getting enough fitness/exercise for my body if I spend 80% of my time on the cardio machines? The machines say in 40 minutes I burn 1500-2000kj but I have also read alot of people saying they didn't see much in the way of results until they started really getting into weights and muscle toning exercises (like swiss ball). Are classes better for you because they force you to 'mix it up'?
Looking forward to hearing your opinions
