[quote=Anonymous]1) Work outs: I think it's worth it for you to hire a trainer.   They can show you how to use the equipment and plan some workouts for you.

I would not start with a kettle ball or any other kind of free weights. I would start with training to walk a 5k. There are lots of training plans for couch to 5k walkers. This is one: http://walking.about.com/od/beginners/a/5ktraining.htm

After you've gotten into the walking program for about a month, I'd add some strength exercise. Pilates or a beginning yoga class would be good. Nautilus weights would also be good. A trainer can show you how to use the equipment and make suggestions.

After you've developed some basic fitness, you can try classes -- zumba, spinning, martial arts, more advanced yoga, whatever makes you happy. Try stuff until you find something you like.

2) Clothes: black running pants or yoga pants and a tshirt will be just fine. Nobody is going to pay that much attention to you. They're lost in their own heads and trying to get through their own workouts.

3) Your goal should be 150 minutes of aerobic, weight bearing exercise per week. This is the standard for preventing diabetes.
