I am very surprised at how much stronger I feel since joining the gym last month. I am very proud and shocked at myself for really enjoying going to the gym as well as actually joining a class on my own. I have never quite been a fan of the gym as I always feel there is a cheaper option of running in parks however since going to the gym and overcoming gym anxiety - which, I have learnt is really is all in your head and people really don't care what you do and everyone is just focused on their own exercise! And if they do look at you, it's probably the same reason as you look at others - just to see what new exercises you can do! I really do enjoy going to the gym and feeling stronger both mentally and physically. Just monitoring my own progress feels great!
