    I can actually empathize with being nervous about attending classes (and lifting, for that matter). I am an introvert by nature, and so being in a room full of people makes me nervous in general. On top of that, to be in a room of other people while I'm sweating and my arms and legs flying all over the place? What if I fart? Or my shorts fall down?

    But I like to think of it as not only a challenge to my fitness, but also a challenge to overcoming my fears. Find one that intrigues you and looks like fun, and hopefully the fears will go away within 10 minutes of the class starting!

    I used to be afraid to go alone too, but now I love it! I go to Zumba, TurboKick, and Muscle class all the time, and it is so much fun! The hour goes by before you know it. Also, don't worry about the other people. Most of them are too concerned about themselves to look at you. The classes I attend have people of all shapes and sizes! Go for it, and I'm sure you will be glad you did.

    I've fallen on my butt a couple times in BodyStep and I'm not the only one.
    You just back up, laugh at yourself and pay better attention to where your feet are the rest if the class :blushing:
