Overcoming your #GymPHOBIA / #JULUKMENTphobia

"How was YOUR first time ...
                                           At the GYM?"

With SO may "PHOBIAS" going around , we decided to deal with THIS ONE today!

--» Gyms can be intimidating vele, but if you focus on your progress and health, and realize that other members are all working toward the same goal, you’ll be able to get over your fear of the gym in no time.

1. Fear of Judgment: You’re On the Same Team

There are two unfortunate images that people associate with the gym: Muscle shirts and sports bras.
Muscle shirts represent huge, hulking men who lift ridiculous amounts of weight while gulping protein-enhanced water from oversized mixer bottles.
Sports bras represent fitness-obsessed, no-nonsense women who do 45 minutes of cardio, 45 minutes of toning, and whose “rest days” involve two hours of yoga in studios heated to the average temperature of the sun. #Julukment!


2. Fear of Disappointment: Focus on Yourself

Fear of disappointment is really fear of judgment turned outward.
It’s the deflating feeling you get when you see someone lift more than you can, run faster than you can, or rock a multicolored headband better than you could in a million years. It is what happens when you forget that your time at the gym is about personal improvement, not imagined competition.

3. Fear of Failure: Think About Your Success

This is probably the most common fear of the gym people have, ironically because of the fitness industry itself. Spend some time watching fitness commercials and you’ll see what I mean: It’s nothing but chiseled abs, tight butts, and perfectly toned arms and legs. This makes perfect sense from a business perspective, but it makes you forget that you actually have to put in the work.

It all starts with YOU!
Be FEARLESS & you won't feel HELPLESS !
