Do you believe every fitness & group exercise session is full off super slim athletic women that know all the exercises perfectly? Well you’d be with the majority if you did. Many have a perception that at any group exercise session the room will be full of ‘Superwomen’ and through self conciousness actively decide this is not something for them.
This explains why many people choose a niche session where they know many people in that session will be similar to them with similar goals such as ‘Over 50’s sessions, pre & post natal sessions and many others, these sessions are great as the session can be designed more accurately towards the clients goals. But what if you don’t fall into one of these niche’s? Do you just not exercise?
Well off course the answer is no, but we need to understand that there are many reasons why people exercise and actually, losing weight is only ONE of them! If you believe everyone in a group exercise session is only there to become Superwomen, you’re going to be very self concious about attending one. You’ll be intimidated by shapes & sizes not like your own.
The reasons for people attending a group exercise session go much further than just ‘losing weight’ these include;
- To feel in good shape physically
- To improve or maintain health
- To feel a sense of achievement
- To get out of doors
- To have fun
- To relax and forget about your cares
- To feel independent
- To get together & meet new people
Oh, and; To lose or control weight
Don’t assume everyone joins a group exercise programme for the same reason.
With a whole bunch of reasons why women actually choose to take part in regular exercise, be it with a personal trainer, at a local group exercise session or at a gym, there’s really no need to feel self concious and you certainly don’t need to be superwomen to start you just have to start and then maybe, you’ll become superwomen!
