Congratulations! At this time, you're coming up on a week of deciding that this is your year to get healthy and fit. If you have joined a gym, you've probably been watching those of us that have been members for awhile. Likely, you have seen the look of frustration on our faces, as we are coming to grips with having to share "our" gym. Please know that, at least in my case, this look of frustration is not directed towards you. It's a look of trying to come to terms with sharing equipment that we normally don't have to fight over, having to drive all over to find parking, and dealing with the gym being twice as busy as normal. It's a change for everyone. In a couple of weeks, it will get easier, and we'll be used to the adjustment.
I have heard many people complain about how the gym is busy now. That it will die down in a couple of weeks, because people will give up on their desire to get healthy. Hell, I've been guilty of saying that. But honestly, I don't want you to give up. I would rather continue to have to share machines, because I prefer that you continue to work on you instead of giving up.
Now is the fun time. It's all new to you. Soon enough, you will get tired and want to quit. Don't do it! I can tell you first hand that 50% of the time, I don't feel like working out. But the thing I had to learn to be successful is that I need to do it anyway. Of course, listen to your body, but if it's just a case of the "I don't want to's", do it anyway! I guarantee that you won't regret it. Once you get in the mindset that it's not an option to skip, you'll be golden. So please, keep it up. Prove us (and yourself) wrong. Keep moving! You never know who you're inspiring!
