Tips/motivators to start working out? (1 Viewer)

[Day]

Just wondering if anyone has tips to getting a workout routine/working out routinely/becoming confident to work out?

I haven't exercised on a regular basis since high school years ago and I'm interested in working out to gain muscle rather than lose weight. I've never been good at lifting weights and I've only been to a gym once but I'm interested in things I can do at home. I'm definitely willing to buy weights so that isn't much of a problem.

What inspires you to work out, if anything? YouTube videos, podcasts? Music? I'm open to anything.

I'm not very confident about getting a gym membership yet... unless I talk my best friend into doing it with me. I fear for being around strangers who intimidate me/might creep me out.

tbh, start with a body goal that you really want, this usually gets me going

Is there something I can use besides a weight goal?

You might wanna try following a choreography. That gives me so much determination. As time went by and I got used to working out again (I quit because of a surgery before) I moved from choreographies to Yoga.

You could look at some workouts from Fitness Blender and see if some of their beginner workouts interest you as it's all about getting started and then building on top of that.

I don't know if this helps but I work out for my heart and mental health. That's my motivation.

Losing weight takes time and patience, keep going, and don't stop! You'll make it

I just got some dumbbells, followed a few YouTube workouts, and added weight gradually. Music keeps me going, and small progress feels motivating. I even came across balkan pharmaceuticals steroids while reading up on safe ways to support muscle gain, and it was actually pretty informative.
