192/365 Be Not Afraid to Ask Questions at the Gym

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

At my work, we have a punching bag, gloves, and punching pads. These two ladies approached me and told me how nobody uses the punching bag and gear because they are intimidated. After I showed them the basics of how to jab, cross, hook, and kick, they were sweating and smiling.

Sometimes we get stuck in our routines of treadmill/elliptical, lift, and go home. Our bodies can do so much more than that. I know the gym can seem very intimidating but the people who work there are like me and just want to help you. We can feel strange approaching you about your form because we don't want to be rude. So take advantage of those gym attendants. Ask them for help if you don't know how something works or how to adjust the machine. It's much more embarrassing to be on a machine wrong than to ask for help.

In health,

Lauren
