    This may sound crazy but, what you're saying can apply to working out at home too! I'm always scared of my family hearing me jump in the house (two-story home) or hear me breathing heavy while on the treadmill. I really have to get rid of that fear of people watching or hearing me work out bc it's only going to suppress my progress. Now that I think about it, it's so stupid 🤭😂 I just thought I would point that out bc I do see a lot of UA-cam comments saying they're secretly working out in their room.

      I definitely understand! When Covid first hit all the gyms were closed and I was still in school living on campus. I would try and work out quietly in my room but I didn’t want my roommates to hear me jumping lolll hiding it was becoming too much work so one day I just stopped caring and literally just sent a message in our roommate group chat saying sorry for the noise lol 😝

    I just did a group workout at my campus gym a few days ago and I was terrified at first but I actually enjoyed it, everyone was at their own pace and I felt great when I was okay with maybe not getting through all the exercises or struggling a bit. It was super fun.

    I'm 17 and just quit competitive swim after a year of not going. I've never been so inactive in my life and I need to learn how to keep fit for myself before college and so I started doing an at home program for a month and I promised myself I've gotta get my ass to the gym once I'm done with the program and well... here we are. I've been to the gym before but I only have the courage to use cardio machines bc weights and all those machines are scary af bc that's where the gym bros are at. It's really reassuring to hear that everyone starts from somewhere which is so so so true and I just need to take these first baby steps for the sake of my health. I'm supposed to go today and I'm honestly so scared even with the excitement but I will be ok 😭👍

    This was uploaded at the perfect time thank you!! 😭😭🙌🏽 Since I have to use the gym on my campus i’m still getting adjusted to the environment and I’ve been struggling so much with trying new machines because of my anxiety. I’m gonna try these tips cause I can’t and refuse to let my gym anxiety disrupt my growth and progress 😭

    So many great points! Taking it slow and going my own pace has really helped me to stay consistent in my journey. I realized that before, I would try to go super hard in dieting and exercising, then I would be extremely sore and just stop all together.
    Also, a cute outfit really can sometimes make all the different in my motivation to go to the gym lol. I be up bright and early ready to put my outfit on lol.
