Starting exercise at a real gym

I've started to exercise at a real gym.  It's the local Kinetix which, I think, is less than a mile away. 

I started last Thursday with 12 minutes on a treadmill.  I increased the incline to 10% and lowered it when my butt muscles started to burn, and put it back up again when they felt better.

I didn't do much the first day, but just the treadmill was enough to drop my blood sugar from 129 to 105 30 minutes after I got home.   If I keep it up my insulin resistance will go down.

It's a nice gym.  It has nice new machines, and they re-upholstered the old machines with new leather, or vinyl or whatever that stuff was.  The machines look better quality than the ones at the gym that closed at the same location.

I've been sticking to the 10 minute treadmill regimen (if you could call it that) and then adding resistance training on those fancy new machines.   I managed to injure my shoulder some months ago with free weights at home, so I am having some difficulty doing some of the weights.   But I'm thinking if I strengthen the muscle it might do better in the future.
