Burpees Hesistance

wawaman

I have been given a gym based program which includes weights but also exercises like burpee's etc. I have to say im worried about coming across as the fool doing burpees in the corner! I havent seen anyone doing similar before. Have people seen anyone doing similar in their gyms?

it is quite common to see people doing burpies and similar exercises in the gym that I go to. You wont come across as a fool

I do a number of excercises that I am fairly sure make me look ridiculous but the thing to remember is everyone looks the same doing burpies (Usually red faced and out of breath)

I don't think people will give a monkeys as long as you aren't doing them in an area that would obstruct other people i.e right beside a db rack or in a squat rack or something . Otherwise crack on and don't worry if people are looking.

No one will be looking at you.

If you do them properly, you might even be a trendsetter...

Don't worry about it! There are far stranger, less common exercises.

For example, I was doing floor presses in the rack the other week and someone was giving me absolute filthies.

I was doing Turkish get-ups once and I started to realise a bunch of people were basically staring at me. I felt pretty self-conscious at the time, but I kept going because I figured it would look worse to look like I quit. Any way I finished up, and while I was catching my breath, one of the people watching me comes up and starts asking me about the exercise because he wants to try it himself. I'm 90% sure he wasn't taking the piss out of me.
