Scared of the Gym?

 Boo! Scared? Ghosts, goblins, and mummies… Halloween is just around the corner. The last thing you need is to be scared of the gym, too!
Have you been avoiding the gym because it’s too intimidating? Maybe you don’t know what to do when you get there? Or you feel uncomfortable? Afraid you’ll be the most out of shape person in the gym?
Too many people miss out on reaping the benefits of working out in a supportive gym environment because they are too intimidated to get started, aren’t sure what to do when they get there, and think they’ll feel uncomfortable. Workouts at home just aren’t as effective because of the lack of equipment, the distractions, and there’s no social support.
Here are some tips to help you stride confidently into the gym and enjoy the benefits of working out…
1. Go into the gym with a plan of attack. If you know exactly what you are going to do you can walk in with confidence and get to work. There’s a saying – Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail! – and this rings true when it comes to exercise. For the best results, have a fitness professional design a specific, individualized plan just for you.
2. The other members in the gym aren’t looking at you. They are focused on themselves; they’re looking in the mirror and thinking about their own workout. Stay focused on getting your workout done and don’t worry about what anyone else in the gym thinks. Soon enough your body will transform right before your eyes and you’ll be hooked on the feeling of empowerment and confidence, and the gym will be your new domain.
3. Join a gym where you fit in and feel comfortable. If you’re still not sure about hitting the weights at your gym, consider joining a different gym. You should always feel welcome and at ease when you walk in, and you should be greeted by name.
