How to find the courage to go to the gym by myself?

Question

I want to start working out, and tone my body. But I’m afraid to go to the gym by myself. I’m afraid people are going to make fun of me because of my size. I’m only 4’10. I wanted to go with my sisters but they’re lazy. I have bad anxiety in public by myself. 😞

Answer

I lift weights and go to the gym and i can tell you that no one is going to care about your size or what youre doing/not doing. Everyone starts somewhere and people understand that. We are all too focused on our pumps to pay attention to other people. Im 5'2 and started at 200 lbs. Guess how many people ive caught looking at me since i started 1 year ago? 0! Go for it! Go on IG, youtube, google, etc and look up videos for beginners on how to do the movements and how to use the machines properly. Dont be afraid! 🙂

Answer

I feel uncomfortable at the gym too and I’m thin. Mostly I just feel silly like I don’t know what I’m doing and put almost no weight on the machines. I like my at home YouTube workouts. There are a lot of trainers with channels you can follow specific for your needs

Answer

I had the same worries. But everyone who is going to the gym is focused on what they are doing and nothing else. Use head phones and zone out. It's what I do. I dont pay attention to anything around me.

Answer

I feel like if I go in with a plan of what workouts I’m doing it helps. Also most people working out are too focused on their workout to really focus on anyone else
