Getting motivation and energy for regular trainings is one of the most important things when you start working out. Otherwise you won’t achieve your goals. When I started going to the gym my friend advised me to try nutritional supplements. At that time I thought I did not need them, but I changed my mind after I’ve tried. It was little more than a month I’ve been taking Military Grade nutritional supplements, when I realized I did not feel fatigue in the end of the day. And even more: after workouts I still had energy to spare. As time went by, my shape was improving more and more. I was loosing fat and gaining muscles. Now I feel really fit!

I’m so with you on point three. The once scary gym bros in the weight room have turned out to be nothing but extremely nice, respectful, and helpful to me – without ever crossing any boundaries. And I really appreciate friendly faces and encouraging words.

And for point five, I need to read that to myself every day.

A lot of women seem to get really freaked out by all of the guys in the free weights area, but for every crappy experience I’ve had with bros in the weights area, I can think of at least ten that were awesome.

Also, last week some guy was grunting like crazy while doing leg presses with a ton of weight. I tried to ignore him but I couldn’t help it, and when I looked at him I was not at all shocked to see that he was totally doing it wrong, with his hips coming off the seat and everything. I’m sure he was intimidating the hell out of other people, but I thought he just looked like a fool.

It requires strong determination and self-motivation to lose weight, have a fabulous body. Doing regular exercises can work wonders for you.

I think it’s irritating (and even disrespectful sometimes) when people mis-use equipment and prevent others from being able to do their workout. The squat rack is a popular area, and monopolizing it unnecessarily is rude (whether it’s someone doing lunges with 2lb dumbbells or the d-bag at my gym who does 25 sets of 3 shrugs at 500# with 3-5 min breaks between sets). Not racking weights is rude. Stepping on benches can damage them and therefore is rude. Doing your dumbbell set right next to the dumbbell rack and blocking other people from accessing it is rude…etc. Many times what I perceive as rude however is merely uninformed- so I try to be patient because we were all new and uncertain once. If you feel like you could approach someone who is “breaking the rules” in a helpful, friendly and non-creepy tone, by all means do it. And if you are new (like I was once too!) don’t feel silly if someone does make a suggestion related to sharing and taking care of equipment. For the most part people are happy to help and glad to share space with other hard working and dedicated people.

They should have a look at Ernestine Shepherd, lifting at 74. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/29/ernestine-shepherd-worlds-oldest-female-bodybuilder_n_868577.html

She wins competitions now! Keep at it :)

My gym is wonderful-though a bit ageist. Always getting told I should not be doing that at my age.
