It makes a lot of sense to join a gym. It gives your exercise life structure. It gives you a place to go. Gyms have trainers you can ask for advice. It doesn't have to be fancy. The Y works just fine. The YMCA has lots of classes if you're interested. Don't worry about being judged. Gym rats are remarkably tolerant of people who work out, regardless of their shape or age. Eventually you may come to see this place as a place to "get away to." Weird, I know, but true. Remember, your body craves the chemistry of exercise. Exercising with others is all that much better.
