Gym anxiety tips for newbies > gymrats
The gym is ours too ladies!
You have every right to be in what I like to call - the ego lifting part of the gym.
If you walk in confident acting like you know what you are doingโฆโฆ no one will judge you. If they are looking at you, itโs prob because you are a cute gym baddie ๐๐ผ AND YOU ARE ! Just make sure those leggings arenโt see through before you start doing those RDLS in the middle of the gym๐๐
When it comes down to it, everyone is in there for the same reason - to โget more in shapeโ
Here are some things that have helped me (especially when starting out) minus a gym buddy !!
. Know what you are going to do before you go into the gym
. Study what form you need to practice to make sure you are executing movements properly so you most importantly- donโt hurt yourself or are worried someone is going to judge your form like I wasโฆ FALSE no one really cares what you are doing ! Ill be making form posts for guidance.
. Find yourself a cute gym outfit! I have all of mine linked in my highlights on ig! They always makes me feel more confident!
. If you forgot to make a plan for your gym dayโฆ walk on the treadmill for a little bit to plan what you are going to do and if the weights are in front of your treadmill scope out the gym or watch how other people are using it If youโre not sure.
. Wear a hat! Hats are so cute for the gym and perfect when you arenโt feeling as confident.
. Oversized clothing! Currently loving this style and perfect for when youโre not feeling as confident about your body or bloated on your period !
. Blasting worship, music or Christian rap before your workout or during your work out. Praying that God gives you the strength and wisdom to get you through your work out is also a great idea!
Hope these can help some of you gorgeous ladies ๐ love you guys!

Starting your fitness journey can be daunting, especially if you're new to the gym environment. To ease gym anxiety, itโs crucial to prepare mentally and physically. Begin by familiarizing yourself with the gym layout and equipment. Watching workout videos or tutorials can significantly help you understand proper form and reduce the fear of judgment. When you enter the gym with a solid plan, you're less likely to feel lost or overwhelmed. Another effective strategy is to bring your favorite music to keep your motivation high. Uplifting tunes, like worship or upbeat tracks, can create a positive environment, making your workout more enjoyable. In addition to preparation and music, your outfit plays a vital role in boosting confidence. Choose attire that makes you feel good, whether itโs a stylish top or comfortable leggings. Oversized clothing can be particularly comforting on days when you're feeling less than confident. Hats are also a great accessory to help manage self-consciousness, letting you focus entirely on your workout. Community support through classes or gym buddies can further reduce anxiety, so consider engaging with friends or finding an online community for gym newbies. Remember, every individual at the gym shares a common goal: to improve themselves. Embrace your journey, and know that you belong!
YESโฆ I always walk on the treadmill to pass the time until I know what equipment I want to use next! ๐
