#getting fit

Is it better to do cardio first or weights first?

What machines do you recommend for upper body strength? Any specific lifts?

This one might sound dumb but does showering at the gym instead of home save time from your experience?

Some info :

I have mild joint issues so certain workouts that require a lot of bending the elbow I try to lean away from but I'm open for suggestions.

• Walk: 3.23 mi (~5.2 km)

• Time: 1h 6m

• Calories: 639 kcal total (448 active)

• Avg Heart Rate: 107 bpm

• Avg Pace: 20’28”/mi

• Elevation Gain: 55 ft

• Route Notes: Walked along river and open fields; swans visible on the water.

• Nature Observations: Trees are budding, early spring growth along riverbanks, water plants emerging.

• Dog: Bailey (friend’s dog, temporary until April 10)

After a bit of a disastrous March, I'm getting myself picked back up and getting back on track.
