Nervous about joining a fitness class.

[flirtgill]

Part of me knows I'm being silly, but another part of me sort of needs a little reassurance. I've joined a local gym and had a plan worked out by one of the trainers, and I'm optimistic about that. My membership includes any classes (zumba, bums and tums, aquafit, etc) but I almost feel as if I'd have to lose weight before I was able to join them. To reach my ideal weight I'd need to lose about 10 stone, and obviously to do that healthily will take time. My medium term goal is to lose 4 stone in the eight months leading up to me being the maid of honour for one of my best friends. I feel like I could use a bit of a kick start, but as I said I'm a bit nervous about being the most unfit person in any class and not being able to keep up. Have any of you joined a class, and how did it go?

honestly in those classes there are participants of varying skill levels. you do it to have fun, and if you're having fun the rest comes naturally. i felt the same way once upon a time but it wasn't so bad, i snuck into the corner of the class and everyone was way too busy and into it to even notice that i was trailing behind. also, there'll always be some older ladies/men that aren't as limber or quick so you're not alone!

you just need to realize that everyone starts somewhere, just have fun with it and it should come easy!

hey i belong to a gym too with classes, but feel exactly the same, that i need to loose weight before I go to one! which is stupid becuz if i actually went to some classes I would loose some weight. Im not good at motivating myself to do home exercise videos either. IM a bit down at the moment but hopefully when I feel better Ill be able to go to a class, maybe just stick to one once a week and id go in the morning so i have less time to think about it!
