No you see, my fear of this is why I'll never ever go to the gym.
what I've learned is that your average confident-looking gym rat can also still have no idea what they're doing with the equipment. Pretty much everyone needs someone to show em the ropes and get em started at least.
Grab dumbbells.
Raise them.
Lower them.
You can do it. Above is a bit of a joke but there are millions of YouTube vids showing how to do an exercise. Its very simple, you dont have to be worried. :)
I started in January, now I have done 90 sessions soon. Body feels strong, clothes look much better, your posture will also improve, and your confidence.
