    Ask Lacey: Anxiety About The Gym

    Ask+Lacey%3A+Anxiety+About+The+Gym

    I have been wanting to go to the gym and work out, but I am just too insecure and not sure how I should approach it. I do not have much experience or knowledge about what I should be doing, and feel scared people will judge me. How should I approach this? What gym do you think I would feel most comfortable at?

    Thanks,

    Insecure and Confused

     

    Hi writer!

    I know this feeling too. But trust me when I say it is nowhere near as scary in reality as it feels. You never have to impress anybody but yourself, so take some time to experiment.

    What workouts feel the best for you? Don’t hesitate to even take some time at home on your own to watch YouTube videos, do research, etc.

    And if people judge you for being new, then just ignore them… nobody starts out being perfectly athletic or strong.

    They were new once too 🙂
