I used to be soooo anxious going to the gym. It took 4 times of driving there to actually walk in and use equipment other than the treadmill. But what I noticed while anxiously walking the treadmill was everyone was so focused on themselves. And then when I started working out, I was in my own world. I forgot there were other people. So truuuuust! No one cares. No one even notices.

God understands that young men want to get buff and strong (Proverbs 20:29 The glory of young men is their strength). One of the secrets to having good strength is the following (Proverbs 31:3 Do not give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.); so, stay away from fornication, pornography, touching women, lust, drunkenness, drugs, lying, stealing etc. But you can make all the gains in the world and lose allot of it weeks after you stop training. (That’s why the Bible says1 Timothy 4: 8 For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come) So also focus on eternity. Jesus died for all our sins and rose from the dead (only God can do that) Repent and Believe in Him today to get into heaven.

The best thing I recommend for beginners is to go at like 3am on a Monday when noone is there, then just walk around and slowly learn every machine. Look at the pictures, and if you can't figure it out pull up youtube videos. When the gym is empty you can really just take your time and learn.

The Bible can be summed up in 1 word. Jesus. Jesus means salvation. But you may say “what do I need to be saved from?” Sin and its consequence (which is Hell-the wrath of God). But you may say “I don’t Sin”. Jesus said all humans have sinned in thought, word, or deed, so either you are lying, or Jesus is lying. On the topic of sin have you ever lied, stolen anything, spoken abusively to or about someone, Swore, Blasphemed God’s Holy name, lusted after the opposite sex, had premarital sex, cheated, hated someone? Jesus died on the cross and experienced the wrath of God on Himself in order for you to be forgiven and reconciled with God. All you have to do is repent (change from your sinful ways) and Believe in Jesus. Romans 6: 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Have you lied (even once in your entire life), looked with lust at the opposite sex, dishonoured parents, stolen anything, had hatred towards someone, had premarital sex, adultery etc If you answered yes to any one of the above then you are a sinner like the rest of us. So, I ask you again, why should God let a sinner into Heaven? Sinners don’t go to heaven they go to hell, But we are blessed to have Jesus (God incarnate) die on the Cross and rise from the dead. If you Repent (forsake your sinful, unholy ways and live righteous instead) & Believe in Jesus as God, you will be seen as a Saint and welcomed into Heaven.

I just joined a gym last week and my first day I encountered exactly what I’ve been trying to avoid for so long... nasty comments from young girls. I contemplated not going back but did a week later. That guy was an asshole and I’m glad we’re doing this for ourselves because we deserve to feel good too.

With the small you can fit a 15.6 inch laptop, 2 - 3 jeans or panta and at least 4 to 5 shirt and a pair of shoes(if you travel more than you go to the gym of course) and you will still have a lot of space to spear if you know how to organize it.

This video is so helpful! I just started going to the gym (2 weeks tomorrow to be exact) and my first week was full of anxiety. I felt uncomfortable because I wanted to lift weights, but didn’t know how to use the machines. So I was stuck on treadmill (watched Grey’s Anatomy episodes while walking 😂). So at the beginning of week 2, I finally found courage to go up to a fit couple working out and asked if I could train with them. They were both so sweet and welcoming and even included me in their workout routine! 😭 The girl even showed me her workout schedule. We became friends and I know one day I want to be the one to help out someone new to the gym. I’m still new, but I’ve learned a lot watching videos and asking friends for help. 🙂

Here’s my #1 tip if you don’t want to look like a newbie. Use only one or two sets of dumbbells or other gym equipment at once . I know it’s easier to lay everything you need right in front of you for your entire workout but people will get annoyed and go up to you if you’re taking too long with the equipment especially if you’re hogging more than one thing. :p

I just binge watched so many of your gym videos. About a month ago I decided I wanted to start eating better and working out regularly. Not only to get rid of the extra pounds I put on after having my two kids, but also to implement a lifestyle change. I've made myself look so stupid a handful of times, but watching your videos have helped me figure out how to work machines and give me the confidence to know that it's okay to mess up. Thank you so much for making all of the beginner friendly videos!

What I find that helps me is 1- have a plan on what your workout will consist of (equipment, # of sets n reps) 2-research before your workout the proper form and use of said equipment 3-remember why you are here in the first place. The regret of not getting in a good workout is worse than the risk of looking "goofy" in the gym or stepping outside your comfort zone. 4-EVERYONE has started from zero. Don't compare your chapter 1 to their chapter 30.

God understands that young men want to get buff and strong (Proverbs 20:29 The glory of young men is their strength). One of the secrets to having good strength is the following (Proverbs 31:3 Do not give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.); so, stay away from fornication, pornography, touching women, lust, drunkenness, drugs, lying, stealing etc. But you can make all the gains in the world and lose allot of it weeks after you stop training. (That’s why the Bible says1 Timothy 4: 8 For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come) So also focus on eternity. Jesus died for all our sins and rose from the dead (only God can do that) Repent and Believe in Him today to get into heaven.

I'm healing my dominant foot from a 5th metatarsal fracture and really just want to use the pool until I can start strength training. I love swimming and when I heard water aerobics and swimming is great from my doctor, I went and signed myself up but haven't been back since. I'm an extrovert, but gyms idk I'm so intimidated by gyms. The intimidation & fear is irrational! I'm calling my gym tomorrow and scheduling a tour ASAP.

@@dcoop7516 hey there! Firstly I would like to say happy new year! Now, for these past five months I have had many ups and downs. My anxiety is still definitely there but I have consistently pushed through and can happily say that I go to the gym at least 4/5 days a week all by myself, and have managed to lose 15kg because of it!! :)) I want to say that it’s something you can easily overcome but if I’m honest, it will take some time. Taking the first step is what sucks the most, however, once ur past that you will learn that the people around you don’t really pay attention to what you’re doing. For all we know, they’re just like us, silently hoping and praying that they’re not watched by others or made fun of for doing something incorrectly. Some advice I would give you is maybe find someone who can help you adjust to the environment, like a friend or a family member, just so the process isn’t as nerve wracking as without someone beside you. Then, eventually, you probably won’t need them beside you anymore. I know we all deal with anxiety in our own ways so you should try several things before making any rash decisions. Just keep telling yourself that you’re doing this for you and for your mental health. And just know that although it feels like everyone is watching, they aren’t (I can’t stress this enough), everyone is in their own little world and you should have the same mindset! Make a nice playlist and watch your life unfold into something truly magnificent. I offer you many virtual hugs and the best of luck with your journey. You’ve got this! I believe in your ability to be a better version of yourself

"I'm trying to be shady in the nicest way possible" 😂😂😂 I just got a gym membership, okay I'll wear my hat when I go.💜

I totally understand the whole wearing a hat suggestion! Just tonight I told my husband I’m buying a cap to wear so I can cover my eyes somewhat and feel less anxious 😂 It’s like a feeling safe thing for me 🤷‍♀️😆

Grey is great for camouflage because the room is grey. Black may make you less noticeable but it can also make you stand out more in some ways. Depends on the person

Hahahaha potentially. Land costs a lot more in the UK, especially London. Having said that, I'm so fortunate that they rebuilt my local gym and it's a decent size with loads of large windows and natural light. They made one mistake and sacrificed having at least double size in the warm up section because they wanted more natural light in the swimming pool area. I felt sad at that mistake but never mind!

I really hate going to the gyms I have feeling people will literally stare at me thinking why I'm here?. I went to the gym yesterday, this man was really kind to help me out with the running thing (don't know how to call it) I was struggling what speed I should go with. He clearly knew I've never been to the gym before. It was really nice of him. I still going to the gym I feel like I'm getting judge the way who I am.

trust me everyone is on their own world while working out! i used to feel like that too but now i get so focused on working that i forget people are around me so that’s what other people do too probably so you shouldn’t worry❤️

Is there any chance you could do a video on how to move a workout bench? I know that sounds so silly but I genuinely have no idea how you’d move one to a different part of the gym!

There is usually a handle at the bottom and you lift it up & carry it away :)

It has wheels on the end where your legs are supposed to go Lift the handle up (it should be sticking out and you should be having one end of the bench up in air) wheel it away

Taking a pre-workout helps too. It makes you want to go to the gym. I do agree about having good form. One of my old trainers told me if you usually do 12 reps of an exercise at an average speed, slow it down to 8 and barely move the weight.

I’ve never been to a gym but I just got a membership, what do you do if you need to use a machine but someone is on it? Do you sit and wait for them to be done?
@waffles9453
@waffles9453 3 жыл бұрын
You ask them how many sets they have left on the machine. That makes them aware that you’re waiting for it.

You would skip that exercise for now (just ask them how many sets they have) and do other exercises while you’re waiting

God understands that young men want to get buff and strong (Proverbs 20:29 The glory of young men is their strength). One of the secrets to having good strength is the following (Proverbs 31:3 Do not give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.); so, stay away from fornication, pornography, touching women, lust, drunkenness, drugs, lying, stealing etc. But you can make all the gains in the world and lose allot of it weeks after you stop training. (That’s why the Bible says1 Timothy 4: 8 For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come) So also focus on eternity. Jesus died for all our sins and rose from the dead (only God can do that) Repent and Believe in Him today to get into heaven.
