Starting a new fitness routine can feel intimidating, especially if you’re unsure where to begin. Many people hesitate to join a gym because they think they need to “get in shape first” or worry they won’t know what to do once they walk through the door. The truth is, you don’t need to be fit to start—you just need to start.
