In fact, self-confidence can be learned, practiced, and mastered- just like any other skills. Pick up some of these tips, and gear up your confidence level. Now it's time to sashay your way down the gym runway.
Embrace Yourself
No one loves you more than yourself. Instead of body slamming yourself, or feeling ashamed of your body in front of other exercisers, why not embrace it? Understand that happiness is not a body shape, and just focus on how much stronger you feel after a workout

Accustom your brain to think positively, by looking at your own reflection in the mirror every morning, and tell yourself how amazing you are.
Pump Up The Music
Surprise! Your favourite song can in fact become your confidence boosting melody. As it turns out in a study from The Society for Personality and Social Psychology, the degree of bass in a song has the power to enhance confidence, improve abstract thinking, and make an individual feel & control.

Create a playlist of your favourite songs, and blast them up before your exercise session!
Maximise Your Nest
Who says exercise must be done outdoor? If you’re not ready to face the world, fret not! You can still built some abs in the comfort of your nest. Try an exercise video or an activity-oriented video game. Or consider investing in a stationary bicycle, treadmill, stair-climbing machine or other piece of home exercise equipment.
