Finally, it’s my first day at the gym. A start of fitness goals with my workout partner at a fitness center near me. I decided to give gymming a shot. To clear the air, I have never been to any gym or followed any workout routine before, but after getting inspired by my husband, I finally gathered some courage to take my health to the next level. This workout vlog will show you my first-day encounter with the gym, all the equipments, and weights that were alien to me.
Frankly, I must admit that I hate the idea of waking up early and exercise the body followed by a good healthy meal which doesn’t sound good to the palate. However, this seems to be one of the best ways to be in shape and live a happy and healthy lifestyle.
Check out my first day at the gym, workout vlog:
I did start with a 5 minutes walk on a treadmill (my first time ever). Though for the whole 5 minutes i was praying not to fell from it and become a joke for everyone around me. This was followed by a little stretching of my body. I must say my husband knew how to handle the beginners on their first day at the gym.
Checklist of how to start first day at the gym:
