Is it embarrassing to go to the gym for the first time?
Walking into a gym for the first time can be an embarrassing experience. You might be self-conscious that you’re too out of shape while everyone else seems fit, or that you’re wearing the wrong clothes, or you might simply feel out of place. But it’s important to get through the paranoia and start exercising.
Do you experience embarrassment related to exercise?
Embarrassment related to exercise is something I know too well. I remember in my grade school physical education classes how teams were selected. The teacher picked two of the best athletes to be the captains, and they each took turns picking who they wanted to be on their team. Invariably, I was the last to be picked.
How can I become a more casual gym member?
Have a look at the different gyms that are available to you, and consider which one might cater to more casual members. Give yourself time. Give yourself time to adjust. Any new situation can be stressful. Guys in tank tops and girls in tight leggings—well, not exactly my idea of a relaxed environment.
