Gym etiquette for the wellgroomed fitness buff

Be it the equipment in your gym, the trainer or other people around make sure you take a tour of the space and get to know it well. Ask around to know how the equipment works and what you need to know before setting your workout routine.

A place with fancy interiors will surely get your attention but a gym needs more than that. Look out for useful equipment.

It’s always better to have a trainer guide you through the workout process. Get to know your trainer and make sure you agree with his style of working.

Hygiene is important so make sure you go the extra mile to maintain it. Always carry a towel to wipe off the sweat and get a personal water bottle.

A good warm-up session is important before you start out full-fledged exercises. Warm up help prevent injuries and prepare the body for rigorous training.

Working out will lead to sweating which may cause dehydration. Hence it’s important for you to keep sipping on water to stay hydrated.

Your gym wear has to be a balance of comfort and style so don’t try to be a fashionista in there. Avoid wearing tight or transparent clothes that could make you the butt of all jokes.

It’s a good idea to make friends in the gym or join one with your friends, girl friend or acquaintance.

Before you hit the gym and start your journey into getting healthy make sure you get your BMI, pulse rate, blood pressure and heart rate checked.

When in the gym make sure you don’t use your phone or simply keep your phone aside. Your phone can be a big distraction which is also bad gym etiquette.
