Building Confidence in the Gym When You Have No Experience

Walking into a gym as a complete beginner can feel intimidating when everyone around you seems to know exactly what they're doing 😭 I used to worry about looking clueless while trying new exercises but I'm slowly getting more comfortable with it. Tbh everyone has to start somewhere and I'm trying to remind myself that too. What helped you guys build confidence when you first started training? 💪

Honestly watching videos and recording my own sets helped me notice mistakes I couldn’t feel while lifting

Bro getting humbled by lighter weights is part of the process

Girl I used to copy random gym people until

Ngl asking experienced lifters for help made such a difference for me

I started using mirrors to check my posture but getting a trainer to correct me was even better

Slow reps are underrated because you actually feel which muscles are working

Don’t rush the weights man 💀 Building good habits now will save you so much trouble later

Which exercise was the hardest for you to get the form right on? Mine was definitely squats
