Gym 18h
i always had a dumb fear of signing up for a gym bc i don’t know how to use any equipment or anything and i don’t want to look silly or like an idiot. also i wouldn’t know what machines i need to use to target specific muscles. should i sign up anyways?

the machines also have pictures on them that show you what muscles they target and how to use them! there are also usually qr codes on them that you can scan and watch a video on how to use

Yes. I was the same way and still am sort of. But there are people in the gym that will be willing to show you how to start and will help you out

while there are some people who absolutely don’t wanna talk to you, there is probably the same number of people who would be overjoyed to mansplain every single exercise in the gym to you

yes it’s super helpful!! I feel like most people don’t know that if they haven’t been to a gym, and it can be scary to start going to a gym and not knowing anything but the machines are an amazing place to start and have those resources to help you figure out what you’re doing/how to use the equipment
