  • I wear jeans and a t shirt pretty much daily

    I have some guys in my gym that wear very similar. If you have generally free-range of motion, you’ll be fine. Will just be hotter than normal. Walmart has some decent clothes for not a lot of money that you can get a set of and just use that. Nobody at the gym is going to judge you for wearing the same thing every day.

    I don’t get what you do there

    This depends on what you are looking to get done. Each person is there for their own thing, and it depends on their goals. Weight-loss, muscle toning, strength training, socializing…

    I don’t do anything on the treadmills or bikes because I structure my weights to do the cardio bits as well. This is just a personal preference because I get bored and zone out during long walks, runs, or rides.

    Get a plan together and be consistent with it. I have 3 plans in circulation depending on what my needs and schedule is. Arms, legs, and combination. If I have the time, I’ll do arms Monday, Wednesday, Friday; Legs will happen on Tuesday and Thursday. If I know I can’t get to things on a timely basis because of schedules I’ll do a combination MWF. I’m flexible with my time so I don’t beat myself up for not going.

    I could do home workouts just fine, but the cost of equipment is too high and I need the space in the house, which I don’t have. I’d love to get a place that has a finished basement, or unfinished, and have a place to go that doesn’t cost me monthly. The only issue with home workouts is replacing broken or worn equipment. Also, my gym has a row machine that I wouldn’t have access to or money to purchase. Just little things like that. Weights are super expensive for full sets.

    If you have the funds, I’d recommend finding a local gym that has a trainer that you can utilize. Even if it’s for just a few sessions to get you going.

    Good luck if you decide to get into it. Don’t make it part of your personality and have a goal.
