The gym is not for everyone. Some people feel about it the same way I feel about R&B music. They never liked it in the first place, and are pretty sure they never will.
But for others it’s a great place. Somewhere to release stress, test themselves, and meet new people, as well as developing health and fitness.
But even if it’s a great place for you to be, sometimes it’s hard to get – or get back – there.
When I got together with movement expert Libby Babet, she shared her favourite tip for overcoming fear of getting into the gym: Preparing yourself physically and mentally by creating a movement culture. This strategy applies to all types of formal movement, and it’s a wonderful (and wonderfully simple) idea.
You can learn more about it in this 1-minute video:

Yours in overcoming your personal fears – big or small,
