Am I the only one?

Question

I long to be fit and kick ass in the gym but am so shy. I feel like all eyes are on me when I am in the gym and I hate it. Over all I am a insecure person and absolutely hate it but don't know how to love myself enough to not care what the world maybe thinking. Any tips? Gym advice?

Answer

bring your phone with you and watch a music video while doing cardio or bring a book. if your gym has a tv focus on that so it take your mind off of those things. breathe and relax, think about why youre at the gym and let that motivate you.

Answer

I used to get up and go to a 24 hr gym at 430 a.m. before work.

Answer

a gym buddy is always fun. most people aren't paying attention to you but I know that's hard to get into your head. Planet fitness is a great gym to go to

Answer

I used to be like you, I got over it by going to a smaller gym with classes, (only a class gym) and because everyone was doing the same thing it was nice, and the instructor really helped us all and me on how to do the exercises properly. I dont think I have the confidence to go to the gym and do my own thing yet but I'm really fit now and feeling 👌🏼 classes will help you too!

Answer

I used to be like that bur honestly in rhe gym wvwryone is so focused on themselves they don't even pay attention to you lol

Answer

I'm the exact same way.. It doesn't help when my fiancé works out with me bc he conveniently works out behind me and sends flirty texts lol
He knows how to throw me off every time we work out,but I'm not complaining lol 
He gets "punished" when we get home 😜
But yes definitely listen to music,book on tape or focus on one of their tvs it helps and then you'll get to where you work out and don't even remember anyone else is in the gym..

Answer

I promise you no one is looking at you, all though it may seem like it. I know it can be intimidating especially when you see girls that are more fit then you, for me it makes me feel insecure. But seriously just turn up your music and go hard!!

Answer

something you need to understand is that in most situations and generally speaking people are the center of their own universe. especially when it comes to the gym everyone is there for the same thing and no one should be judging you or even paying attention to you. but I understand completely how you feel because I have the same problem and I just started going about 2 weeks ago. over the last two weeks I've really just come to terms with it and decided that my desire to be more healthy was more important than what other people may be thinking about me. I wish you the best of luck on your endeavors I know you can do this ❤

Answer

I completely understand the feeling! I switched to at home workouts a few years ago. 30-45 min 5-6 days per week and I don't have to leave my living room. It's been huge time saver too. I'd love to share more info with you if you like. PM me 😊

Answer

I know what you mean. We all start somewhere, just remember that most are too focused on their own workouts to be "watching" you. I used to feel like the guys were always staring at me when I lift weights because the majority of gals at my gym only do cardio machines. I had to keep reminding myself to ignore the feeling and focus on what I came there to do...kick ass! ;)
