Joining a gym and or exercise program for the first time can be very intimidating for most people.  Especially if you are out if shape, haven’t worked out in a while and  feel insecure with how other people may view you.

Many times I hear people say: I want to lose 20 pounds before I join the gym.  That is a ridiculous statement because nothing will change your body or speed up your metabolism like lean body mass.

Women naturally have more body fat compared to men and resistance/high intensity training is the best way to get faster results.  Therefore most people with that philosophy will not lose the weight and likely give up after a short time.

I’m hear to tell you that the hardest part of getting started on any program is making up your mind to commit and then following through with the right program for you.  A great way to conquer your fear is to contact and hire a professional trainer/nutritionist that will put together a successful workout program and meal plan. This will give you a concrete plan and a specific road map that will work best for you.  After a short time you will start to feel better and see results for yourself.

*Make sure you do your homework first.

*Research gyms, trainers and other programs of interest before you commit.

*Next go visit the facilities and ask the right questions of professionals, to get all the information you need.

Once it feels like the right match for you, go for it.  You can overcome your fear and disbelief in yourself.  Believe in yourself and you will look back and kick yourself for not starting sooner. The most important step is getting started.

I am happy to guide you and answer any questions you may have.

Good Luck!

It’s your time!
