Don’t be afraid to be a newbie. Everyone was once a beginner. Not everyone has perfect shapes right away. And yes, those fit guys and girls working out next to you are not looking in the mirror to laugh at you, but to ensure the correctness of their exercises.
Be sure to make a plan. Write down how many times and what you will do. This will help you get rid of demotivating thoughts at the gym and organize your subsequent workouts.

Set the mood for yourself. Make going to the gym something special for yourself. Can’t think of how? Start with just your favorite music in your headphones. A good mood at the gym is the key to a good workout.
Treat yourself to something nice at the end of your workouts. Allow yourself something pleasant or even tasty after your workouts! Let it even be some kind of sweet brownie. But make sure it’s not too big, and definitely with fruits or berries.

Track your progress and improvements. Before your first gym visit, be sure to take a photo of how you looked before your workouts. Yes, a month of training is insignificantly short, but even so, you will see amazing changes. It’s incredibly motivating!
Find like-minded people. The gym is not only about exercise but also about socializing. You can easily find those here who, like you, are passionate about something sporty. Discuss your sports idols, their achievements, and records with them.
