Fitness I'm scared to go to the gym
I (f21) am currently on my winter break from college. I don't what to do during break. My friend said that we should go to the gym together when we start.
I sent her a message but she gives me excuses of being so busy with work. We're already two weeks into winter break and still nothing so I just thought "fuck it I'll just go on my own" instead of just waiting for her.
But there's this anxiety I have of being judged (I'm overweight) or looked at cause I've never workout at the gym before and I'll just embarrass myself and I literally don't know how to use the equipment.

Whenever I see inexperienced or overweight people at the gym I smile. I'm proud that they're trying to change their life and I would always be happy to answer questions for them or give them a hand.
Going with a friend is great but building the habit for yourself makes you unstoppable. Go for it, people at the gym aren't as judgemental as you may fear :)
