I agree with you because I am one of those people. I had to study a lot before going to the gym and the first phase wasn't easy, but it's good that I didn't give up.

hard disagree. the first is easy. the second step is the hardest: consistency. everyone joins the gym in Jan 1 but few follow up. everyone watches a youtube tutorial to learn a skill but few invest time and effort to actually learn it.

I understand your point of view, what I mean is that every time we want to go to the gym, the thing that stops us is always going to the gym and being afraid that people will judge us. I want everyone to get through this step before thinking about the next good thing, because you have to have enough confidence to practice to be able to maintain it.

i can only speak from my experience but if anyone is worried of looking stupid or anything like that to pursue your goal, work on that first. that should have been the least of your problem.

Dealing with a limiting long term injury- I needed to read this. Fear of pain and weakness are so limiting. Thanks for posting
