Gym: March 2018

I decided to join the gym as there was an offer not to be missed! Pure gym was offering one months free membership and no joining fee, with my fitness struggling and the weather being poor, my weekly running was suffering so I decided to take up this offer. I wasn't sure whether I would make the most of it and it did take some mental barriers to overcome - specifically gym anxiety where you think everyone is looking at you and feel quite anxious using certain machines and/or equipment however, once you just focus on your own workout, you soon will realise that the feeling of the progress you make on your own routine and workout is why you go to the gym - well for me anyway. I began to feel less anxious and feel more confident and focused on my own routine, and I am sure no one really cares what you're doing. It does take a little bit fo working through but once you get over it, it is such a good feeling.
