I think the experience is universal for the most part, when people get those first few good workouts in and feel the endorphines rushing through the system and get the awesome feeling of accomplishment. If we can help those in our lives who are hesitant get just a couple awesome intense workouts in its alot more likely they will continue to seek that rush, that good feeling. Ive seen this happen to so many people, friends, family.
I definitely agree that stepping into unfamiliar territory does in fact universally bind all of us with some sort of Fear Factor or intimidation.. I don't know any human being in life that possesses that much confidence that they can walk into any situation that they are unfamiliar with and completely capitalize on it imperviously..

Women I personally feel are the biggest self-critique of them all and a lot of that has to do with social media,magazines and movies and so on everything and anything that has to pretend to glitz and glamour and always having to be at your best...I'm a firm believer that women do not get dressed up and look pretty when they go in public to impress other men, in fact I think they do it because of the competition of other women and they don't want to be judged.. sure women can appreciate a man looking at them but I think they more care about the girl that's standing behind her in line looking her up and down..have you ever noticed when a woman is introduced to another woman before they shake hands they're eyeballing each other up and down? They are already critiquing what they don't like about the other woman..
I think this plays a major role on why some women don't go into fitness centers or gyms...

But this can really go both ways as well because I have had many dudes in my life size me up when in fact they shouldn't have because they got a beautiful wife and family sitting right next to them, it's like hey man no need to hate..
