I feel extremely self conscious and think i look stupid whenever I exercise. This has stopped me from going outside for runs since I don't own/don't have the money/don't have the room for a treadmill. It's not like the area around here is very populated. How do I break this?
dude a gym membership is like 10 bucks wtf?
By realizing that no one actually gives the slightest fuck what random strangers do or look like.

Don't worry about making mistakes or looking stupid, take it like it is, a little silly thing. And what the anon above said.

1. it's for your health, not looking cool
2. don't treadmill. waste of money as it will fall into disuse. also lack of fresh air and potential sunshine
3. it actually looks 'cooler' than u think... at least you're doing SOMETHING physical.

If the area isn't very populated why do you care?
Nobody else thinks you look dumb, and if you do it enough you'll be "the fit guy"
If it really bothers you go running at 10:00PM

that's not a bad idea

This. And if you are embarrassed just go to somewhere isolated with no people to run and that should solve the problem, or either run at night if it helps(?

Dude have you ever watched a marathon? When people are on that last stretch they make the most retarded faces because they're pushing their bodies to extremes.
Everyone looks retarded working out OP

i used to think i look stupid when doing exercises too; whether if it looks like i'm doing it wrong or because it's so obvious i'm just a beginner...
but the sooner you get over that, the more comfortable you become. also, research is key; study the forms of your exercises as much as you can, and use a mirror.
