If any of you are thinking of joining a gym, do it. Don't hesitate or overthink it, just do it.
I didn't start lifting until my 40s (during covid since they weren't closed). I didn't really know how to lift effectively until the gym instructor (a 5'2, nearly 60 year old woman) taught me. It's a fantastic adult class. This tiny gym instructor found out that I can take a joke, and we're all having a blast. I'll wipe some sweat off my face with my sleeve and she'll yell out "hey, are you over there crying!?" ..."Yeah!" I'll say back. Good stuff!
I'm finally able to do pull-ups unassisted for the first time ever, and now my son has joined with me (he just turned 13).
Join a gym guys. Don't think, just go and lift. Shut your brain off for a bit while you lift. Let the instructors do the planning and thinking for you, if you're just getting started.
