Psychologist Kristina Mizernaya named the main reasons for fear of the gym. Her words are quoted by NEWS.ru.
Mizernaya said that people are often afraid to go to the gym because of a lack of self-confidence. In her opinion, many gym newbies feel incompetent, especially if they do not know how to use the various machines or perform the exercises.
The doctor added that people often compare themselves to more experienced or physically fit gym-goers. This can cause complexes and fear. Fears about the opinion of others about how we look or train can also stop us from doing sports.
Earlier, journalists from The Guardian named the best ways to combat the fear of going to the gym. The article says that it is best to choose a gym located close to home. It is also necessary to develop a habit of doing sports, doing it with a certain frequency, and make a training plan.
