Hey Guys, Today I have my first fitness post for you all. 5 tips on how to get yourself in to the gym. I am by no means a fitness expert or have an incredible six pack, but I have learnt a thing since I signed up to the gym.

1. Set A Goal

Something that always motivates me is wanting to look good for a certain event that is coming up. For example for me is festivals in summer that I really want to make sure I look good for. Some people may say this isn't the best thing to do as will you ever be satisfied with how you look? But for me, for some reason this really pushes me to work as hard as I can. 

2. Find Yourself A Gym Buddy

Going to the gym with my friend Freya has changed how I work out so much. You always have someone there to motivate you, workout with, and also someone that tells you you have to go to the gym Today even if you aren't feeling up for it. Also it just makes it a lot more fun as you have someone to chat with instead of listening to the same music on repeat all the time.

3. Buy Yourself Some New Gym Gear

This honestly does make a difference when motivating yourself to get in the gym. If you look good in your clothes at the gym it's going to help with not feeling self conscious and if you feel like you look good already, for me it helps to push me to work out to look even better.

4. Don't Worry No One's Looking At You

This is something that personally I have never struggled with at the gym, but I know a lot of people who do. Feeling looked at when working out is most probably going to stop you from working out as hard as you can because lets be real who wants to be seen looking like a sweaty tomato, not me. But I just think who cares if someone is looking at you anyway, they probably just want to know where you got your super cute leggings from. I'm sure half of the people in the gym feel like they shouldn't be there either, so don't let it worry you at all!

5. Push It To Become A Habit

Okay so this one sounds a bit strange but they say if you keep up with something for 21 days I believe it is, that tasks then becomes a habit and something that's not such a chore to do anymore. The first couple of weeks are going to be hard as if like me you hadn't done any exercise in months and your fitness levels are at an all time low. But if you stick with it there's honestly no better feeling that finishing a good workout and finally starting to see results.

I hope this post was helpful for some of you, and I'm looking forward to writing a lot more fitness posts in the future!
