For many, the thought of going to the gym can be a daunting experience.
But the anxiety it may cause you, can be overcome.
Here are 5 ways you can do it...
1 . Go with a Friend
Going with someone you trust and know can make stepping through the gym doors a lot easier
2 . Book an induction
A good gym should provide an Induction as part of your membership package. Take advantage of this and reap the benefit of a trained professional showing you where everything is and how you can make the most of your time there.
3 . Avoid peak times
Most gyms see a lot of people getting in between the hours of 6-8am and 5-7pm. If you get overwhelmed or feel intimidated with lots of people, try and avoid these times.
4 . Go with a plan
Not being sure of what to do in the gym causes a lot of anxiety for people. Go in there with a plan of what you are going to do. Structured workout plans can be found online these days or you could also invest in a coach who will personalise one for you.
5 . Acknowledge your fears
Don't dismiss your fears or anxiety. Spend a few minutes noting down what it is that makes you nervous about going to the gym. Being aware of the reasons will help you when it comes to tackling it.
Hope this helps ✌️
