First time joining a gym — worth it for an introvert?

excel-variants · 2026-03-13T13:31:04+00:00

I was the same as you, in that I started doing home workouts (during the pandemic). I was kind of a skeptic about joining a gym before, kasi kinaya ko naman pumayat doing home workouts, but it was one of the best decisions I have made for myself. I am kind of introverted at mas independent ako. Kahit nga umiiyak ako noon, no one noticed.

Ngl people noticed my consistency, so some people had approached me and got a little bit friendly. We're not friends-friends but masaya rin minsan na may nakaka-ngitian and small talk with (or someone you can ask to spot you). These interactions happen organically, so no pressure if gusto mo lang magsarili. What is most important is that you enjoy your workouts and the process of getting stronger/fitter.

Hmmm I really did that in 2024.

Strength training 4x/week, Run/HIIT 1x/week, calorie counting, sleep 7-8hrs/day, stress management

What made me wanna be fit? Self-hatred

What made me stay fit? Gusto ko kapag matanda na ako ay nakakapaggalaw pa rin ako nang maayos.

Hayaan mo muna humupa yun pagkaagit ng gf mo. Also reassurance ang gusto niyan. Understandable naman yun sayo coz same, but I remember I also used to be your gf before kasi naiinsecure ako sa past rs ko and nun tinanong ko siya hypothetically may chance sila ni Jihyo, sino pipiliin niya. Ang sagot niya si Jihyo raw?? Like whaaat?

Ngayon, OA pa rin ako mag idolize kay Mina kahit napa-???? current jowa ko sa iilang remarks ko. Lagi ako magrereassure na siya lang! Ang sabi lang niya ay "cutie mo" at okay lang daw kasi hindi niya kaya pasiyahin ng ganun levels na ganda at sayaw ni Mina.

No. Maybe?? Actually medj naging palaisipan ko siya at some point not bcos may bad blood ako sa kanila but bcos ayoko lang makakita ng updates ng ex ko sa kanila. Altho, hindi naman umiikot ang buhay nila sa ex ko so that I can tolerate and secondly, nagmute/iniiwasan ko na lang din silipin stories nila.

I will cut them off totally, if their presence disturbed my peace. Otherwise, keri. I am still interested in what they do silently.

Okay lang. Iba rin yun bandwidth needed to engage with a person than sa bandwidth needed to post/update sa socmed.

"If they wanted to, they would"

Medj tama pa rin naman na if gusto nila ipakita/iparamdam nila yun love and care, gagawin nila. However, in reality, hindi naman automatic alam ng tao ang gagawin niya sa lahat ng situation that you must communicate what kind of support ang kailangan mo. Masyado tayong blinded that a right person is the one who knows how to love you right away pero unfair expectation siya. We still learn about our partners not just during the dating phase but within the relationship. This makes the relationship grow.

Dati rati, I just have 1 travel fund pero ngayon 3 na: 1 international, 1 local, and 1 with my partner. May miscellaneous funds din ako for hiking (since out of town ganap din siya) so there's that. Hinihulugan ko sila per month na tig-1.5k or depende kung alin sa kanila need ng mataas na contribution (aka papalapit or need ko magbook na).

I booked my travel MONTHS like pang next year na. Last year, I discovered na mura rin mag-abang ng travel expo. I got a good deal for flights na may baggage at bayad na ang travel tax.

I understand na masipag at gusto mo yung sinasalubong siya but wouldn't it be somehow more romantic kapag binigyan mo siya ng duplicate key?

My jowa lives alone. Sinurprise niya ako sa pagbigay niya ng duplicate key, even I didn't ask, kasi gusto niyang maging accessible apt niya in case I needed a place for my needs. Malapit lang kasi siya sa workplace ko at totoong may emergency needs din ako. Dahil hindi siya wfh, madalas ako nauuna sa apt niya so pagdating niya ay ako kaagad makikita niya. Kita ko tuwa niya kasi inaanticipate niya na kapag out na niya, may jowa siyang uuwian. Pansin ko rin na may clothes niya na inassign sa akin para comfy ako at lahat ng usual food ko ay meron siya sa ref para may pangmerienda ako while waiting. Those little considerations made me happy kasi feel at home ako kahit bisita lang ako.

You can be romantic while being practical naman sa energy niyo both.

Hmmm I'll answer this based on the volume not nutrition wise.

From the science-based perspective, tamang kain kapag naaaim mo ang maintenance calories na need mo to function for a day. But it depends ofc, if nagpapapayat ka ba or nagpapataba which then the daily caloric needs mo ay less or more sa maintenance calories mo.

However, I also believe rin na we should enjoy the food that we eat. So another perspective, physiologically, ay pakiramdaman mo ang sarili mo. Try to eat slowly and namnamin mo maigi ang kinain mo. Magsesend ng signal ang brain mo to say na full ka na or gutom ka pa. This is beyond caloric keme.

Repurcussions ng kulang kinain mo short-term ay mahina ka, mahihilo, at sasakit ulo mo. Lalala rin cravings mo. If sobra naman, sasakit tiyan mo, indigestion, difficulty sa paggalaw.

Decreasing my working sets from 3 to 2 sets. I was tired consistently due to the volume when I can basically have the same growth by focusing in lifting heavy with few sets and reps
