Gym confidence after training weight loss: walked into a gym for the first time in 12 years yesterday. Was terrified. But you know what? Nobody stared. Nobody judged. Everyone was focused on their own workout.

To anyone too intimidated to start: the hardest rep is walking through the door. Everything after that is just movement. 💪

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. Worth stating the units and the reference range whenever you post a number here. A large fraction of the apparent disagreement in these threads is two people using different units and both being right.

I would rather be corrected than agreed with, if it comes to it.
