Getting started on working out can be really hard. I know that when I first started working out all of the equipment looked really daunting so I just stuck to the treadmill. Part of the problem was that I didn’t know where to start. This is a guide to help you! I am going to give you some starting ideas to help you get more comfortable in the gym.
