If you don't know what you're doing, we don't blame you for speed walking right past that equipment for another 45 minutes on the cardio machines. That's why we called on Ali Gritz, the assistant fitness manager at Crunch Gyms, to talk us through the best of the weight lifting machines. "A lot of woman are scared of the machines because they don't want to get too big, muscularly," she says. "But the reality is that creating lean muscle mass helps you get rid of body fat.
