Thanks for that! I sometimes feel self-conscious in the weights area, since it's usually all men there. I try to just get on with it, but sometimes I just slink away back to the stepper!0

Thats the reason I haven't joined a gym oh yeah and the fact hubby wont let me. lol I do my workouts at home but know that in the near future what I have at home isnt going to fit my needs. So maybe I will grow some hypothetical balls and join anyways.0

Thanks for posting sir
Truer words have never been spoken. I was very reluctant to join the local Y for that reason, but overcame that fear a month ago and started going daily. Yesterday the old fears reared their ugly head when I was trying to talk myself into the Zumba class and a new Spartacus circuit training class. I was so worried about what to wear, how I'd look to others, my level of fitness, etc. With some positive words of encouragement I took the plunge and did both classes. Loved them both. When I looked around at the others to follow in the classes, they weren't worried about me, they were worried about their own form, their own step, their own workout.
It's your journey, take control. I am0 -

But what happens when one woman goes to the gym and she sees another one there that's wearing make up?
What would you suggest they do at that point?0 -
I LOVE this! When I have to go to the gym because the weather is not cooperative, I sometimes feel self-conscious. I will remember this for the next time!!0

I love Zumba too much to worry about what others think while I do it. Besides, I can't be the only one who looks like an epilleptic on amphetamines lmao!0 -

To all the girls afraid of going to the gym because they are self conscious: Go there and kick *kitten*. You’re beautiful, be proud. Its your body, this is for you. Not for the people who are at the gym, not for anyone else, you. Focus on you. Who gives a **** what anyone else thinks, YOU are making YOURSELF better and that sure as hell beats all the people at home sitting on the couch.
I appreciate this, cause I am SUPER self-conscious and have pretty major social anxiety. Because of this, I prefer to work out at home. Thank you, though. :flowerforyou:0
