my beginner gym routine (gym newbie)
i've been so inconsistent with the gym over the past 2 years but i won't let it stop me. i'm determined to build discipline and go to the gum regularly. there are body and health goals i want to reach and i know they won't be possible unless i make the gym a habit.
although i use to go to the gym regularly, every time i stop i feel like i have to start from square one. i get very self-aware depending on how crowded the gym is and i sometimes feel like i don't know what i'm doing
BUT, i still go.
if you're a beginner here are my go-to gym exercises. i typically alternate between these and create different routines depending on what i'm targeting. my main goals are legs and glutes, but i add other areas so i can get stronger and well-rounded. i'm not a gym girly so if you have tips for me PLEASE don't hesitate to leave advice is the comments :)

Returning to the gym after a break can be daunting, but it's crucial to develop a routine that suits your goals. My go-to exercises include elevated lunges, weighted squats, sit-ups, and barbell hip thrusts. I usually spend about 15 minutes stretching and warming up, followed by focused workouts. It's normal to feel self-conscious in the gym, especially when you're a beginner. Remember, everyone has to start somewhere; gradually adding more weight and exercises will help you gain confidence. It’s essential to alternate routines and make adjustments based on your progress. As you get back into the gym, consider incorporating machine workouts for varied training. Don't hesitate to explore different areas and adapt your exercises based on the gym’s crowd. Building a supportive fitness community on platforms like Lemon8 can also provide motivation and helpful tips. The path to fitness is a personal journey, and learning to embrace the process, along with its ups and downs, is key to achieving your health goals.
