Ngl when I first started going to the gym I avoided half the machines because I had no idea how to use them 😭 I'd stick to the same few exercises just because they felt familiar but lately I've been trying to learn how different equipment works and slowly add new movements to my routine asking for help and watching how the machines are set up has made things way less intimidating n you dont need to know everything on day one and learning as you go is part of the process.

Asking a trainer how to adjust the machines was probably the best thing I did when I started

Anyone else feel like the cable machine is a whole different language? 😭

The leg press was my first machine and honestly it made getting comfortable in the gym so much easier 💀
