HOW TO USE GYM EQUIPMENT | Lower Body Machines

Hey, there!

In this video, we'll be going over how to use some basic lower body machines.

I remember how intimidated and overwhelmed I was with gym machines when I first began my fitness journey, so I hope that this video will help put some of your worries away!

Always remember that we ALL start as beginners and have all made silly mistakes. Don't get so caught up in not trying to make mistakes that you limit yourself at the gym and in your fitness journey. The only way to grow and get better is to challenge yourself and step outside your comfort zone. Never be embarrassed to ask a fellow gym member for help!

I just joined a gym because I want to have a healthier life and more toned body. I got to the gym excited to work out but I got so overwhelmed and scared to go into the weight section. I went to a treadmill for 30 minutes then went home. I was so disappointed in myself but I was nervous to go and try to figure all this out on my own. Thanks to you I’ll finally be able to work out! Thank you 🙏💕

I first started watching your videos a little under a year ago; up until then, all I EVER did at the gym was go on the elliptical, treadmill, or stationary bike. I never even stepped foot near the weights because I always saw that as “the guys area” and felt like I didn’t belong. Whenever I actually did see girls over there, they looked so fit and looked like they knew exactly what they were doing (which the probably did). I was so intimidated and it all seemed so foreign to me.

I eventually decided that I wanted to try lifting weights, but didn’t know where to start, so I literally went on YouTube and searched “how to work out at the gym.” I’m not even kidding. That’s when I found you and all your videos, and the fact that you broke everything down so simply made a WORLD of difference for me when I was a complete beginner. I didn’t even know how to adjust the height of the cable machine back then, or how to change the attachments 🤣

I’ve been lifting for about a year now and I still come back to your videos regularly. I am so grateful to you for teaching me exactly what I needed to know, the first time I walked into the weights area of the gym. You’re the best!

I don’t know how your videos don’t have more views. These videos have helped me much

[latortuenoir]

I paied 70$ for a coach and I learned more with you for free!!! Thank you 🙏

[laurenjeffery]

these videos are so helpful. i get so much anxiety when i think about using the machines at the gym & because of that i do sooo much cardio, but whenever i finally get the confidence to just do it, these videos are really gonna come in handy. thank you for these!!

[TheSammy]

Thank you! I joined the gym last month and have been too scared to ask how these machines work. Your videos are so detailed I'm confident to get in there and use them without that worry anymore. Absolute star 🌟

[AndariReksi]

Your videos have been a HUGE help for gym-beginners everywhere. Thank you for making these videos easy to understand!

[Lillyy]

I wish more people made videos like this because it can be so scary and nerve racking to start going into the gym especially if it’s your very first time or you just have never really seen the equipment bc like my first time I was scared and I lthink I did 3 things then went home bc like I tried to watch ppl and see how to use a machine but got so confused.

Finally gathered the courage today to go to the university gym with some friends who frequent there. I was too embarrassed to go before because they were mostly guys and fit and athletic girls while I'm underweight. These videos were a great help to get familiar with the equipments and reduce my anxiety.

I can’t even begin to tell you how helpful this was. I struggle with A LOT of self confidence and I get severe anxiety. I have been going to the gym for 3 weeks now and have only used the treadmill and elliptical because I didn’t know how to use anything else. Thank you so much!!

[rosaramahi]

I’m starting my fitness journey and it’s been hard to make it to the gym
bc the machines intimidate me! But thank you! These videos will teach me so much so I don’t look clueless at the gym 🥴😊

[IllA]

I've been binge watching all your videos. I recently decided to start using the weight machines instead of only using cardio machines and this helped me a lot! I was able to get a workout and feel confident in using the machines 🤗

[jiffybishop]

I'm 2 minutes in and already subscribed. I have never found a video that gives this beginner level information like this. It's like you join a gym and are expected to just...know how they all work. I didn't even know how to start. Next time I go to the gym I will be marching straight to this section of my gym and trying these machines!

[ChuckHicks-id]

Hi all, I'm 70 and my doctor told me I had to get into shape, I've started to go to the gym, but was a little intimated by all the equipment. Your videos made it easy to understand, and now I'm on my way. Thank you much.

[robinward]

y’all should see me looking at the pictures on the machine trying to figure it out! Thanks for the video! ❤

[Lukho_M]

You have not idea how
Much I needed this 💆🏽‍♀️ didn’t know how to use these at the gym as a result I haven’t been going as I should 🌸

[Calijyot]

You gave me confidence to go beyond treadmills and elliptical . I can now go and try the machines without any anxiety ❤😊

[brandondouglas]

This video is incredibly helpful for those getting back into working out that either forgot or never knew what machines did what at the gym. I fall into both categories, so thanks a lot for making this!
