Where Do I Start With Fitness?

Starting something new is scary.  Think back to your first day and first week of work at your job.  You were probably nervous, wondering if you were going to be successful at it and if you would learn the job in the time you needed to.

Then you got into a routine, and before you knew it you weren’t even thinking about it anymore but just doing what you needed to do.

If you are in a relationship, think back to day one and how nervous you were and how you wondered constantly if anything would come of it.  There are so many things that when we start we are scared of.

Fitness is one of those things.  The gym can be intimidating, between the grunters and people who look like they could kick your butt in their sleep, it can be a scary place.

Everyone Had a Starting Point

Everyone started somewhere.  Everybody was at one time a newbie.  Yes even those people that are extremely scary looking in the gym, at one time were intimidated themselves.

So just get in there.  Don’t worry too much about what other people are doing or look like.  You are there for you, not them.  Don’t be afraid to ask questions to the gym staff.  Any good gym, the staff should be more than happy to help you.  If you want some knowledge going in, google some workouts before going in.  You can google things such as: “Arm day workout”, “leg day workout” etc, and you will get lots of examples of what to do.

So don’t be scared!  Every new thing is a little nerve wracking but you will get in a groove.  Don’t let the fear of walking in a gym keep you from becoming a healthier you.  Get out there and kick some butt, you’ve got this!
