Enroll and attend a gym are two totally different things and, each of them, is an effort that, in many cases, is not achieved; consequently, people decide in the end to give up the goal of doing a physical activity.

GetQoralHealth offers some tips to help you make your first time at the gym rewarding and, therefore, achieve your goals:

1. Choose the gym. Before enrolling in a sports center make sure that it meets your needs: equipment, coaches, activities and costs; The latter is important, because it will be the guideline that encourages you to continue or resign.

2. Appropriate clothing and footwear. Comfort is basic, regardless of the physical activity you do. Remember, your clothes should allow movement, breathability and cushion, in the case of tennis, the impact of the exercise.

3. Outside the complexes. Do not mind, neither the wardrobe nor your appearance. Focus your mind to the fact that, like you, people who attend a gym go with the goal of conditioning their bodies. Nobody is perfect.

4. Do not overdo it . The body needs time to get used to a new exercise routine. If you take it to the limit, not only can you be exposed to an injury, but you will leave the gym without wanting to return.

If you do it early in the day you will be fresher and more rested; half a day, you will avoid getting up early, but at this time it is more difficult to find a space to do a physical activity.
