- Find yourself a gym suitable for your needs. Your choice of the gym can determine whether you visit frequently or not. Try looking for it near home, work, or on the road to both. In this way, you will not be so lazy to travel and think about it. You can even save on time and cost.
- Not sure how to train? Make a schedule. Think about your goals and establish some routines. To do this, we recommend you write down when you want to go (before going to work, at lunchtime, in the afternoon, late in the day), how many times a week you will perform this routine. You can always increase the frequency and difficulty later. Also note how long the sessions will last and how you will structure the exercises (begin with sessions between 30 and 45 minutes, to increase the duration gradually). On the other hand, what is your goal: why and why go to the gym. Setting a goal will help give you momentum and a desire to achieve the challenge.
- Prepare everything before going to the gym. Although it may seem silly, always having the bag ready will help you overcome the laziness of having to go home beforehand. There is no time to lose!
- Trust yourself and if you don't know what exactly you have to do, ask for help. Some personal trainers will help you perform the most appropriate exercises for you, taking into account your condition and your goals. Do not be more aware of others than yourself and do not feel self-conscious: you are in the gym to get in shape, and you will achieve it. If you want, to begin with, you can try to go to quieter hours, to gain safety and comfort little by little.
- Always hydrate before and after your sports sessions. This way, you will avoid that your physical performance does not decrease.
- Always warm-up before starting the exercises and do your pre-established routine with enthusiasm.
- Finally, always congratulate yourself after completing a workout and keep track of your consistency. It works!
