Describe your first visit to a gym
-
As usual, a sense of being lost.I just did the machine circuits and used the freeweights for bicep curls only.
-
I stood at a corner for 2 hours and observed how others train. I did that for the next 1 month.
-
So many sweaty chiobus and hunky yandaos..
-
I saw a tanned girl sitting on the lounge near the reception so I went & chit chat with her.
-
i feel so small... so insignificant. I dont even dare to go do the free weights. See 6 buff dudes standing around hogging that machine..
but they turn out to be friendly dudes that smoke pot with me together. in the end.
The naked showerroom. The old men with no undies... the fit women with abs.
I used to laugh at aerobics , until i went to do the bodycombat. Oh man.. 1 hour of pain...PAIN! after 1 yr.. i became fit again. but not anymore. -
Very noob ... Just went to lift the heaviest dumbbell we can handle ...
-
erm.......... it was during BMT.... I guess no need to elaborate liao

you don't belong in this forum, go back to your vegetable friends. One day you'll become one... -
Totally embarrassed when compared to the people there. Most of the time walk around to see those people working out.

"EHHHHH Hw do u identify gay men in gym ? "
During my first visit to gym... -
me and a friend went to one when we're in sec 3??? we were like banging the weights on the lat pulldown machine, until the gym instructor came over. wahahahahaha

Come to think of it, my first serious training was at apr this year, but I sort of stop now... Maintaining only...

lost in the gym. duno how to use the equipment
-
lol...totally lost. took 1/2 hr to think of what to do.
took another 1/2hr to figure out how to adjust squats racks. took another 15mins to think of gym courtesy and etiquette.
until now i haven figure out how to adjust benches. maybe tml if no one is using itt, i'll try fiddling with it. -
It wasn't that long ago for me, my 1st gym visit was a mix of lost and joy.
Joy, because i found out there's this nice gym in my school which i can use for free and they play my favourite radio station class 95 lol.
Lost, coz i dunno what to do and dunno which exercises trains what so much so that i had to slowly read the instructions on each machine then try to emulate the instructions lol.
By the way, i still dunno the weight units they don't seem to be kg i just roughly adjust by trial and error until i'm comfortable with them.
I ignorantly camped there for nearly 1 and half hour meddling with the machines only and looking around to see how the pros use different exercise.
Until now i just do exercises i see but still dunno the formal term lol.
after 1st visit, took me a week to recover from the sore and pain then i read here that must limit 45-50 minutes so that we don't overburn
-
go with some kakis, try the free weights 1st b4 venturing to machines after few visits
