Does the thought of a fitness class freak you out? Anxiety may be inspired by the setting, the unfamiliar routines, and ridiculously good looking bodies. Anxiety is typical, but should not be allowed to put a dent in our attitude toward exercise. Learn tips from one positive fitness instructor about kicking your anxiety over new workouts to the curb.
Key Takeaways:
- You may think going incognito in the corner is a genius way to calm your nerves. The reality is, you’re doing yourself a disservice by distancing yourself from the instructor.
- Although there are times when you need special gear, most classes and studios are up front about items you’ll need to bring with you.
- Wear what makes you feel strong and confident in a gym setting; psychologists believe this idea of dressing the part—dubbed “enclothed cognition”—may actually improve your workout performance.
