I've been stalking for a bit to see if this group would accept a complete beginner and you ladies are so inspiring! I still have yet to get a gym membership but I have a bar that I'm practicing form with. I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself so hi!

    Definitely stop by the daily check-in thread, post your workouts, and read about what everyone else is doing. So much good, inspirational stuff there, and tons of encouragement!

    Welcome to all the new lifting gals! You'll love it and how strong you'll feel after just a short time. I'm pretty new too (only about 3 months in), and don't laugh, but I find myself flexing in the mirror! :)

    Feel free to add me if you'd like!

    I did 100 burpees everyday for a good while, it was a challenge, and I was flexing quite often haha. Thanks for the warm welcome!

    I am really nervous too! I keep envisioning myself face down at the gym squirming with a bar on top of me. But as I've heard before, they are there for the same reason as you. They are concentrating on their routine and you should concentrate on yours. I'm signing up for my gym membership today and then I'm just going to go check it out. I joined once but had no idea what to do so I never went. Now I know :)

    If anyone looks at you funny, just challenge them to a burpee contest. I mean, seriously? That's insane and rad!

    Haha, I have done that! And unless they were in the same burpee challenge as me, I destroyed them in burpees. We even got crazy and got together for a 1,000 burpee's in 24hrs party. My Spartan group was crazy.

    Thanks for the warm welcome, and yes I've been asking questions and getting a taste of the "bomb-ness" of this group ;)
