Afraid to go to the gym alone..
I’m not like fat, but I am not in awesome shape.
I want to get in better shape, but I can’t run for a very long time without slowing down or walking.I guess I am just embarrassed to run in front of others when I can’t do it as well as them?
I can’t really run outside right now, I live in MN and its winter.
So the gym is my best bet, but I am kind of scared of going.
My friends can’t really go at the same time as me, so I either go alone or not at all.
Advice?
I use to be like you Nichole, then one day I went to the gym. Once you are there you tend to forget all about others there. And the funny thing is everyone there feels the same way as you do. Just put on some headphones listen to music and zone out for the next hour or so.
That is an initial feeling that will slowly move away as you start going and practicing.Remember veryne came here without knowing a thing…choose comparatively non demanding timings initially to set your ease.
Don’t worry about being embarrassed or scared. Everybody else there is going for the same reason: To get in shape!
I respect all the people who go to my gym because they’re making a good choice by trying to get fit.
