Things I wish I knew as a gym noob
Here’s a little something we wrote on our blog. Hope you’ll find it useful whether you’re fitness pro or newbie as we all used to be 🙂Â
Walking into a gym with guys who are ripping their T-shirts with muscles can be a tad intimidating for a noob. Maybe it’s not a tad either. When I first stepped into a gym with a fitness routine plan that involved tons of exercises that I was able to perform for the first time in my life, I was a confused mess. What made it even scarier is that this was the first time in my life that I had paid for a gym membership. I had no clue how things work.
What would happen if my form was incorrect?
Would someone scream at me if I left a sweat puddle on the bench (eww) after my presses?
That sounds gross to me after spending a couple of years in a gym. But honestly, I had these thoughts nagging at the back of my mind when I was about to step into a gym for the first time.
And it makes me wonder if others will be facing the same conundrum as I once did.
So, here’s a list of things that I wish I’d knew as a gym noob. Call it etiquettes or basics of muscle building, knowing these things will make your life easier when you are about to venture into your fitness crusade.
