Nuuuuuuuuu!!!! He is wayyyy out of my league haha

I just think its so nice he's taking the time to talk to me at all, it makes such a change to have someone to talk to at work He said he's really excited about having a gym buddy which is cool too!



Thanks everyone for the helpful replied!


Yeah it is mainly about losing weight and stuff haha, decided its time for change! I think this is the push I needed

[dirrty]

imo if ur doing cardio ensure you take ur phone/mp3 or whatever with headphones. without i get bored lol a good playlist/music makes it much more enjoyable (and therefore you'll workout longer). well thats the case for me anyway

Gym buddies on grinder normally means something very different I have heard.

I wish I had a gym buddy!

Okay yeah so as ya know Martini I work in a gym Shorts/Tracksuit and running shoes are a must. Just wear a comfortable top and if you think you'll be sweating a lot, as someone said, wear a dark t-shirt if you're uncomfortable with sweat marks.

What you do there is really dependent on your goals. If you're just going to chat up this guy, do something close to him so ye can chat but nothing too strenuous. If he goes often he'll probably be fitter/stronger than you so don't outdo yourself. If you wanna spend some time getting fit, do cardio but if you're aiming to lose weight don't bother with cardio and stick with weights.

Make sure you bring a water bottle, towel and a spare change of clothes. There's so much more I could tell you if I knew what type of place it was like so maybe we can chat on Skype tomorrow before I go away

[j0rd]

he probably just wants you to spot him on bench press


has anyone else had the unfortunate scenario of asking someone to spot them then getting sweaty balls in your face..

I'm so excited omg!

Yeah he's said he will make sure we start off slow and stuff because I won't be used to any of it, he reccomended that I go two times a week to begin with and see how I get on (he goes like 4)

He is definitely fitter/stronger than me! He even sent me before and after pictures of himself topless after 6 months of going to the gym and the changes are MASSIVE omg, it's like a completely different body So proud of him haha

I wouldn't say no

Haha

I've never had a spotter (but sometimes I think I should).. I always feel like I can push myself that bit further but never do as I don't want to fail on my last one or two reps

I always use a smith machine though so it's safer

Anyway, I'm just wondering, )having never been to a gym in my life!) what sort of clothing is best to wear to the gym? Do people generally wear shorts, or tracksuits, and like what kind of top? Regular polo shirt etc, and I'm guessing trainers, but not sure if any other type of footwear is best?

To be frank, all depends on how sexayyy you are hahaha! If you are a woman in need of losing weight, then a simple pair of shorts, a T would and a standard pair of running shoes would be reet. But, there are like a clique of girls who go to the gym, just to say they go to the gym. You'll have to perform your pre-nightout getting ready ritual so thats hair, makeup, nails etc before you even enter the gym, teeny tiny tank tops which show off far more cleavage than completely necessary and yoga pants pulled right up into your lady bits to highlight your bottom (don't forget to pick out the camel though).
