1. decide when, how long, and how often 2. decide your goals (strength or size/definition) 3. pick a plan (google) that fits your goals and workout frequency 4. learn the form for each exercise via youtube 5. go to the gym when it's empty and do a dry run. do one set of each exercise. this is just so you find your working weights and learn where the equipment is 6. go for real 7. keep showing up

i started watching “juice and toya” on youtube! they have vids that are bodyweight, dumbbell only, etc. i still lowk use their vids sometimes :,) i also have a friend who enjoys “grow with jo” who does more dancing/pilates type vids

pro tips: -wear clothes you feel comfortable and confident in -bring a water bottle -wear headphones and play upbeat music you like -try going immediately before or after work/school. it will be easier to muster up the willpower to go -your working weights should be heavy for you. if you feel like you can do more than 1-2 more reps, they're too light -progress is slow. take pictures on the same lighting every two or three weeks so you have evidence

also def record your workouts in an app or on your phone or on paper. write down the exercise, how many sets/reps you wanted, how many you got, and how you felt physically. this way you can track your progress and figure out when to increase your weights. it's annoying but it's SO USEFUL

Sydney Cummings on yt! She was the first youtube fitness girlie that made me feel ok to show up exactly as I was and didn’t make me think I need to be skinnier/prettier. Such a breath of fresh air and a very encouraging “trainer.”
