Hello, my loves!
Going to the gym can already be hard enough itself, nevertheless learning how to use any of the equipment! Therefore, I've compiled a video of some basic gym equipment most gyms should have.
Know that many machines operate similarly (as you'll see in the video), so even though I'm not covering all the machines in the entire world, you should be able to successfully work most machines using these same methods.
Always be sure to refer back to the instructions on the machine if you need help and never ever be afraid to ask someone for assistance!
Let's go chase those gainzzzzzz, babesssss.

I don't understand any of the machines and have no idea what I'm doing. If it wasn't for the fact I'm locked into a three month membership I would've quit the first day honestly. But I just finished my first week today and having your videos feels like I'm taking a friend with me. Thanks for these. They make me feel a little bit less stressed every time I go in.
