Am i the only one???

It's a natural feeling, especially if you're relatively new to working out. Just try to get over it!

I use to feel the same way..
Except for me, I don't feel like working out at home is as effective, but everyone has different things that work for them better! It's deffinitely a good start though at getting comfortable with working out... If you can eventually feel comfortable working out at home, thats great! You're loved ones are all that really matters, not some stranger at the gym. Its a good example for your kids too! they want to be strong like mom I use to be self concious that people would see me working out at the gym too.. In the beginning I wouldn't even go unless I had a friend or my boyfriend with me. But eventually you gain that confidence and realize it doesn't matter and everyone is there for the same reason. Plus, if you think about it too much, you probably will end up doing something awkward It can also be motivating to actually be at a gym working out with so many others around... Keep at it and don't get discouraged, your not the only one:)

Yeah, I don't like it neither. Thats why I tend to workout when they are sleeping at night. i figure once I am comfortable with my weight after I lose some more pounds, then going to the gym won't be so tough. I just don't like them seeing me overweight. I think I look funny being overweight and exercising

I prefer to work out with no audience, since the husband heckles, the kidlet distracts me and the dog thinks it's wrestling time. Also while doing 30DS, I need every bit of concentration I can get to actually finish the work out

lol i dont like being stared at either no gym for me and when i was running around here the old ppl sat on ther front porch and stared lol. . . but get ur children to do it with u. my five yr old loves to work out with me and my two yr old jus dances around :P

I got a nice chuckle from badgerbadger1..My dogs are the same way. They bark and tug at my clothes when Im trying to dance with the 360 kinnect

I actually prefer the gym to working out at home... at least at the gym I don't (normally.... hahahaha) have anyone climbing all over me!

Don't worry about what others may think. You are doing this for yourself first and foremost. Try exercising before the kids get up or after they have gone to bed. Remember to start out slow. Don't want to get any injuries or burnout. You can do it!!!! Keep the faith!!!!! 2 days a week I go to Zumba class. Plan to add a 3rd day to my exercise program. I like walking. It is easy and relaxing and this is something you can do by yourself.

I am the exact same way. I hate working out with others and actually find that I can't push myself as hard when other people are around because I'm too self-conscious. This is why I refuse to go to a gym. I told some friends about trying to get healthier and I've gotten a couple people asking "Oooh, want to be workout buddies?" and I always have to awkwardly avoid the question because no, I don't want to be workout buddies with anyone.

I work out in my room, alone. I lock the door so none of my roommates will come busting in and see me flailing around on the floor attempting to do bicycle crunches, haha. Works for me!
