With Malaysia’s perpetually hot weather, exercising outdoors is an endeavor that can potentially do more harm than good to our bodies. So, that leaves us with only one option: workout at the gym.
Working out at the gym means you not only have access to good equipment, but also access to trainers and classes, resulting in sessions that are both fun and effective; unless you are an awkward gym introvert, in which case you’re likely to relate to these struggles…

Yoga classes are offered in most – if not all – gyms. These classes are also usually predominantly female, so if you are a guy and you are into yoga, then things can get a bit awkward.
You’re likely to ask yourself where you should be in the studio, where you should look during certain poses, and why you eat all those beans before the class. Sigh, life is so hard.

Unless you engage the services of a personal trainer, it’s likely that you are just winging it with the all the machines you find in the gym. Sure, each machine come with instructions, but you’re probably too embarrassed to be seen reading them. So you…

It’s unlikely that you’ll ask for help from other gymgoers either, but you definitely need some help with the machines in order not to injure yourself, so, monkey see monkey do!

Too afraid to tell the truth

Time to work those muscles! At least until someone walks up to you to ask if you’re done using the machine. To which, you’re likely to say yes even though you really just started.
Saying no is really hard gaise.

There is nothing wrong with being comfortable in your own skin – in fact, it’s highly encouraged! But, some people get a little bit too comfortable, so comfortable they walk around in their birthday suits. Nice pecs, but please, put some shorts on.
The gym can be full of awkwardness at times, so why not opt for something fun that lets you bust out your best dance moves while allowing you to burn all those calories like the Watson’s Move Your Body Zumba instead?
