Don't Be Ashamed

If you're able to push yourself to get past through the discomfort for a couple of sessions then soon after you'll be changing your perspective of the gym.

Find Something You Enjoy

Find something you like and start there. It will also help build your confidence and this goes hand in hand with motivation.

Be Consistent and Be Kind To Yourself
Take workout sessions that are manageable and don't overcommit. It's better to have shorter sessions than bulking in classes and then eventually dropping out.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
