For some people, working out is more of a necessity than an enjoyable activity. I am one of those people. I want to get fit and be in shape. However, there's just the exhaustion, excessive sweating and sporadic crying that typically go along with it. If you'd rather stay at home eating chips in bed than hit the gym with a green smoothie, this list is for you.
1. You sweat profusely through every form of exercise
2. Going to the gym regularly is an intimidating experience
3. Participating in workout classes makes you feel ridiculously uncoordinated
4. Time seems to slow down whenever you do cardio, and you check the clock constantly until you're finally done
5. You haven't been able to master the "healthy glow" that so many girls seem to have after they've exercised
6. You don't have the strongest willpower to stay consistent with healthy eating AND exercise
7. Sleeping, eating and watching Netflix will always be more appealing to you
8. Using new fitness machines is always a gamble
9. You're constantly paranoid about being judged at the gym
10. Replicating YouTube workout tutorials is never as easy as it looks
11. You feel exhausted after five minutes of effort
12. Exercising gives you absolutely no joy
13. Weightlifting anything heavier than five pounds is a struggle
14. You expect to see results immediately and want to give up when you don't see them
15. You've dabbled in every kind of fitness trend there is, desperately hoping to find something you enjoy
At the end of the day, though, if there's a Starbucks within walking distance of a gym, I'll keep my complaining to a minimum.
