Gym equipment can look like a lot of fun, but these machines aren't toys.
According to LegalMatch.com, 459,978 people were injured while exercising or using exercise equipment in 2012.
Sometimes beginners can get, um, a little too enthusiastic about pumping some iron. Then they probably get a little embarrassed when they turn up at the gym not knowing what the heck is going on.
I mean, it's one thing if you're this dancing treadmill guy, it's another if you've never used one before.
When I walked into my first spin class, everyone was peddling and I assumed that everyone in the room was a regular. Unsure of myself, I asked the instructor for some help on adjusting my seat correctly. It was only after I asked, that suddenly a whole bunch of other newbs began raising their hands for assistance. They were too scared of looking incompetent so they needed someone else to give them permission to ask questions.
Now, the folks you're about to see probably should've mustered up some courage. At the gym, ignorance isn't bliss, it's painful.
