Some days going to the gym can be a huge stress reliever and a positive way to let off some steam. Other days, having the energy to go to the gym can be a struggle and a half.
Here are some thoughts you’ve probably had at least once while at the gym:
1. I’m literally sweating in places I didn’t even know existed. Is this even normal?
2. Dammit, I forgot my headphones in my dorm. I literally just walked across campus for nothing. No headphones = no music = no motivation= no gym.
3. YES! I’ve finally got this running thing down. I wonder if I look as good to others as I feel inside.
4. My abs already hurt so bad, so that basically means I’m forming at least a four-pack right now, right?
5. Okay, this will go by super quick! Just don’t look at your watch ... don’t look at your watch … don’t look …
6. *Looks at watch.* How has it only been FIVE MINUTES!?! I’m 99 percent sure I must’ve been on this machine for two hours by now!
7. Dear people next to me, please take your eyes OFF of my machine. Aren’t we all here to focus on improving ourselves?
8. That being said, if you want to challenge me, you better believe I’m going to act like my life depends on it.
9. With all the calories I’m burning, I’ve definitely earned that burger and fries.
10. As awesome as the feeling I get after a good workout is, sometimes it would be nice if I could look like Beyoncé without having to go the gym.
