Join The Gym (Don’t be scared)

At this time of the year a lot of people are probably thinking about joining the gym if they haven’t already, the sales have pretty much finished and after buying all your new gym attire your ready to make a start. The next step is actually being able to drag yourself to the gym and sign up as a member, these days it seems like there are a million different gyms to choose from. It almost seems like they are popping up on street corners like Starbucks, there are better gyms to join than others but it’s all dependant on what you want to achieve. Don’t worry I will cover this another time, in this post I just want to give you some motivation and confidence to just be able to join the gym. For the moment let’s just try and get ourselves in there, whichever your closest local gym is or one that is most convenient for you.

The easiest thing for me to say is obviously just join, if that be physically walking in there or signing up online JUST DO IT. However, I do understand that for some people it’s not that easy. You might be self conscious, scared, intimidated, anxious, hell there could be tons of reasons that you don’t find it easy. You have to make a decision about your future, do you want to make a change in your life for the better? Or carry on down the same path that gets you nowhere? If that isn’t something that motivates you then make yourself a little deal, today your only going to sign up as a member. You don’t have to train, just sign up. Or if you force yourself to sign up, you can treat yourself to that new bag, top, jeans etc that you have been patiently waiting to buy for so long. Today is just about joining up.

The main thing to remember is that this is the first step on your fitness journey, the first step is always the hardest. If you can take this one step then the rest will follow, you will keep moving forward and slowly but surely begin to change your life for the better.

Get motivated, get after it.
