help! first day of gym class

[Len143]

Kailangan ba nakajogging pants kana papuntang gym or pang-alis na damit muna tapos bihis nalang pag dating sa gym?  tia

[textspeak!]-ano dapat dalhin sa gym?

[Heatherette]

^If you're not comfortable wearing jogging pants while going to the gym, you should go earlier than your gym time para magpalit.

When I go to the gym before, I bring:
1. Towel
2. Change of clothes (including under garments)
3. I bring my iPod with me
4. Water bottle
5. Extra bag for gym clothes

I still wore my rubber shoes after kasi I take a shower pag-uwi sa bahay since malapit lang yung gym sa amin.

If you want to take a shower after mag-gym, then bring your toiletries. Yung mga gym naman they provide towels and hair dryers, etc...

[mojitayanipot]

Ako naman pag weekends, I go to the gym wearing gym clothes na. Pag weekdays, office clothes muna then nagpapalit nalang ako sa gym before I work out.

I usually bring the following:
1. Gym bag (given na yun since I need something to put my stuff in. hehe)
2. Rubber shoes
3. Change of clothes (including under garments din like sis Heatherette)
4. Hand towel (pamunas ng pawis while working out)
5. Towel
6. Toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion, etc)
7. Water bottle
8. Flip flops (for when I'm resting before taking a shower)
9. Headphones so that I can tune in to the channels that I find interesting while cycling or working the treadmills

During weekdays, galing akong office so im in my office attire:

1. Gym clothes (I usually wear leggings kapag galing ng office, para hindi masyado bulky ang dala ko)
2. Rubber shoes (Iniiwan ko to sa locker ng trainer ko, kasi may dala akong laptop kapag galing ng office, pero kapag Friday, inuuwi ko kasi baka magjogging ako sa labas or something)
3. I also bring my IPod, para malibang ako habang nagtthreadmill/bike.
4. Towel
5. Face towel para may pamunas ng sweat habang nagwoworkout.
6. Water canister
7. Body wash


Kapag weekend, i go to the gym ng nakagym attire na. Nagdadala na lang ako ng pamalit pauwi.

[momniloisse]

im just curious what brand of rubber shoes kaya ang magandang bilhin ng tulad kong first time magg-gym? i dont wear rubber shoes before kasi e. puro sneakers lang..

[raven03]

If I'm coming from home, I wear workout clothes na kasi sayang pa sa oras having to change from pang-alis to workout then again kapag uuwi na.

For me, sometime kasi if you tend to bring lots of things parang nakakatamad or nakaka-pressure mag-gym you need all those extra planning pa, so try to make it less complicated as possible.

I prefer to bring my nicer pambahay clothes na pauwi (only if I'm taking a shower sa gym) para pagdating sa bahay relax na ulit.

[mooncake and leaves]

^ same here. When I used to go to the gym, naka-gym attire na ako. hassle kasi na dalawang palitan sa gym. not to mention, by the time I got to the gym then, napawisan na din naman ako.

Wah na-miss ko tuloy.

[PINKAHOLIC]

Ano po ba karaniwang gym attire? Saka how much pag pumasok sa gym class, ano ang price range?

Di ba jahe kc may mga boys din?
Gusto ko kasing mag gym e.

[ckay]

^
I go to fitness first so any group exercises na attendan ko is included na sa membership ko. My monthly is 2500 less 20% (citibank mercury discount) so 2000/month na lang. Usual gym outfits lang like shirt, leggings or shorts. Any will do basta comfy ka sa suot mo. Ang impt sakin is the right footwear. Baka kc mag injury ka pag hindi appropriate yun footwear mo. About sa guys, honestly sa yrs ko na of going to the gym, wala naman talagang pansinan ng mga ginagawa and friendly din naman yun mga tao dun. Busy din sila with their own workout to look pa anong ginagawa mo so hindi mo need ma concious about it.

[PINKAHOLIC]

^thanks kapatid..
Dapat ba talaga naka rubber shoes? Di ba pwede flip flops or sneakers?

[spnliz]

I have never been in a gym, and now I'm considering (overweight na!!) please give ideas like if I become a member ba, may trainor ba yun na? kasama na ba sa fee or dagdag pa? how about yun group exercises can i just join anytime or may extra bayad din? thanks

[Bowen]

Hi Len143,
If you are not comfortable with your jogging pants you can use trouser.
Always use comfortable cloths while exercising. I found few people using tight cloths while exercising which is also not a good idea as it might stop blood circulation.

[shera]

^thanks kapatid..
Dapat ba talaga naka rubber shoes? Di ba pwede flip flops or sneakers?

Rubber shoes are best because they're most comfortable, otherwise you wont be able to move right and won't be able to exercise well. Sayang din.

as for rubber shoe kinds, there are plenty to choose from, depende what you like, i personally go for nike air max 90s (pero it might be heavy for some people many prefer lightweight running shoes). the best place to get them if you're in a budget are those nike outlets or sports outlets. they usually sell some of their shoes for much much cheaper than in the stores.

As for gym clothes, i found the perfect pair of workout pants, sports bra and tank top and bought it in every color so it's like i'm wearing the same thing i'm comfy with every day!

For those who take a shower pagkatapos mag-gym, how many minutes yong rest period ninyo before taking a shower? 

For first timers, ano ba dapat ang exercises na gagawin pag nasa gym? ok lang ba treadmill agad? lalo na pag walang instructor. Meron kase gym sa place namin and I want to try it sana kaso di ko alam kung paano and saan mauuna

[shopaholic18]

^rest time before shower 10-15 mins. una kong ginagawa sa gym stretching muna then treadmill for an hour, then actual workout 30-45mins then pang cool down ko 30 mins sa stepper and 30 mins cycling.

[Gladz31842]

^sis thank you. hindi pala totoo yong magiging pasmado daw if maliligo agad after ng exercise? hehe

when you say actual workout sis, ano mga ginagawa non?

[meandmyhoney]

sa gym na pnupuntahan ko before, separate ang monthly sa trainors fee. pricey nga lang. pero worth it, after a month, hindi na ko nag pa train, sarili ko n lang, nilista ko lang mga ginawa namin. 

gusto ko na bumalik ulit sa gym. hanap ako malapit sa ofc.
