Id actually recommend getting a gym membership straight away if at all possible It will help in holding you more accountable and also you can get more adjusted to it. (You could just walk on a treadmill and watch what other people are doing) In terms of what workouts to do, it depends on your goals. one basic split for muscle growth is Push/Pull/Legs (Google can explain)
A big thing that helped me is going with a friend/family member, especially if they lift. My brothers lift and going with them helped me a ton bc they could show me what they were doing and how to do it. Also, nobody that is passionate about going to the gym will judge you for starting small- starting is the hardest part!
1. determine your goal (strength, muscle gain, weight loss) 2. decide when you'll go to the gym and how much time you can spend. be realistic; you're not going to turn into a morning person if you weren't already. 3. go online and look up a program that fits those criteria 4. go on youtube and look up the correct form for each exercise you don't know 5. do a practice run. go to the gym and figure out where the equipment you need is and how to adjust it and your working weights.
if you have a friend to go with i recommend that! it helps you get more acclimated to the environment. if not, you lowkey just have to go for it. look up routines/methods/form videos on tiktok and instagram so you have some idea of what you’re “supposed” to be doing. you’ll get used to it!!
