Joining a gym soon..., Tips to get over the fright? Options

[Dreamers]

Ay.

Within the next three days my mother and I are undoubtedly joining a gym to get in shape! Yay!

I'm excited as, I do quote the Disney movie 'Cars', "A tornado in a trailer park." but... I'm scared.


When I think 'gym' I think of beautiful perfect people in an unshakable world, with perfect people looking down on me for being out-of-shape, and perfect people telling me exactly what to do, and being frustrated and judgemental when I don't do it right.

I'm the paranoid type that feels all eyes are always on me, and I'm just scared for some reason...

Can anyone help me get over this unfounded fear?


Of course there's always the typical, "What's it matter what others think?! you're there for yourself!" But that phrase is easier said than put into action.

Help peeze?

I have the voices of a million encouragements driving me, but the shyness is my problem.

Gyms are full of fat people that don't know what their doing and think that if I'm working out for a straight hour I'm going to lose weight.

In which their wrong, because their body freaks out because their working out to much so their body saves all their fat preserves.

So in reality, the gym is full of fat people. Thats why they go to the gym to be healthy and lose weight. I've never seen a perfect looking person in the gym. Its more or less really old people too.


Anyway, just remember. Don't care what others think. If your going to walk or run, only go for 20 minutes at a time, then possibly cool down by lifting some weights or something and then go walking again. There are to many idiots that don't know this.

Personal trainers are fun too :D


Oh and the gym i go to most people are tuned in on the tv. Or listening to music.
