Introduction to the Gym

If you've never stepped foot inside of a gym this should help you get started.

First, what are you goals?

Weight loss time frame?

Toning up?

What's your schedule like?

Are you serious to try a meal plan program?

Also, people should consider getting a blood panel to check their thyroid and hormone level and always take a digestive enzyme and probiotic before they begin.

Do you have any injuries to watch out for?

Do you deal with any mental roadblocks?

The biggest impact for me beginning to go to the gym was having a group of women around me to feel support and motivation from.  Also, having a professional personal trainer was a huge part of me sustaining my goals especially when trying to get over hurdles alone can be so challenging.

I highly encourage you to try a Bootcamp atmosphere so you can become more social with people who are working out along with you.  As well as having a gym bag to carry the necessities to stay prepared...

Water, workout gloves, headphones, hand sanitizer, hair tie, headband, brush, extra $ for a portion shake or juice afterwards are all things to put in your gym bag.  

A lot of beginners do not eat enough and crash very fast which overwhelms and scares a lot of people, but just arriving at the gym and doing 15-20 minutes of easy cardio to warm up is enough to get the "good feeling" hormones activated.

Also not to overtrain and hurt yourself or strain your body to exhaustion is important to remember.  It took me over a year and a half of working out before I started to see significant changes so be patient on yourself.  This is not a quick fix but an overall lifetime change.  

Good luck and I believe in you!
