Feeling intimidated at the gym? Same.

About this episode

In Steph & Laura's catch up today, they address something that we all commonly feel when it comes to using the gym - if you've ever looked at the machines and thought "I have absolutely no idea what to do with that" or "I feel like everyone's looking at me because I don't know what I'm doing", don't worry, you're not alone! Lacking confidence at the gym is something all of us experience, particularly when we're new to the gym or to the equipment we're using. Steph & Laura share their own personal experiences in today's episode, and offer some tips and advice to help you build your confidence next time you use the gym.

 

Also in today's episode, we revisit a recent conversation that sparked quite a LOT of comments on socials - the position of 69 and why it's so sh*t! Steph & Laura read out some of your hilarious comments and they do not disappoint.
