Gym too crowded at 7 pm

dragonseeker Posts: 4 Joined: 2003/02/24	2003/03/03, 11:23 PM I joined FT a couple of weeks ago and finaly went in to the gym tonight. It was just too crowded for me. I guess I am a little ashamed of the way I look right now to be too comfortable in that kind of environment again. I use to prefer going in the morning, so I will try tommorrow morning and hope that no one is there. Eventually I hope to find someone to workout with me.

Don't worry about the others. It's your body and you are the only one who can change, just believe in yourself!! -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

Frankly, I have a great amount of respect for all people going to the gym - anyone, whether big or small can stand to be healthier, and at least you are willing to do somehting about it. There are many skinny people sitting on a couch watching the tv every night. Feel proud that you aren't doing that! My congrats to you!

I sometimes see people waiting for cardio machines. I get so focused in my lifting that I don't even hear or see anything while training, unless someone comes over to talk to me. Don't worry you will get as comfortable as you were in 83! Go get em! -------------- Nothing is too small to know, and nothing is too big to attempt! Ivan Montreal Canada

But after many years of improvement I am lifting more than most and now get people asking me for tips! LOL what a rush!!! Plus I get called "The Big Guy" at work and it is not because of my weight!! LOL so GO TO THE FREAKIN GYM AND DO NOT LET OTHERS DECIDE WHAT YOU WANNA DO!!!!!! Have a good one!!!! -------------- IF YOU CAN STILL ITCH YOUR NOSE AFTER ARM DAY, GO DO ANOTHER SET!!!
