Lets be real, working out sucks. Having someone to work out with, makes it suck a little less, especially when it's your roomie. Having someone to support you and go with you, makes you more apt to go and get sh*t done.
If you workout with your roomie, you know these sayings to be true...
1. “If I suck in, I'll have my dream body.”
Standing in the mirror fantasizing about the day you can be as skinny as you are when you suck in.
2. “I just want to lose 45 pounds, nothing ridiculous.”
I honestly feel like this is a realistic goal.
3. “Let's do StairMaster!”
Time to burn those legs and glutes! Lets do this for 25 minutes!
4. “Oh my god, this was the worst decision. I can't feel my legs.”
I thought having a caramel swirl iced coffee from Dunks this morning was my worst decision. I was wrong. So wrong. This is so it.
5. “Why am I sweating when I've only done one mile.”
I'm so out of shape it isn't even funny.
6. “Okay, I'm going to run.”
*Tries to get mile over as fast as possible*
7. “Why the HELL did I just do that? I can't breathe.”
*pauses treadmill* *never returns*
8. “Let's have a cheat meal because I want a hamburger and fries.”
For the love of a hamburger bun and cheese fries.
9. “No wonder fitness people eat healthy every single meal. You feel sick after cheat day.”
That was so not worth, I'm so full it hurts.
10. “So….. like if we split this candy bar it's only half the carbs and sugar, right?”
Right.
11. “But, I don't want to go to the gym.”
Do you want to be skinny? Let's go.
12. “So, if I eat the Dominos I'll just have to jog for an hour to burn it off… not bad, not freaking bad."
Two words. Cheesy. Bread.
13. “I'm going to do three miles today!!!” *2 minutes in* “I'M DYING!”
I. NEED. WATER.
14. "Lets do your ab workout.” *1 crunch in* *You're killing me.”
Seriously, I think I just developed a six pack.
15. "I love working out with you!"
I love working out with my roomie. We push and support each other like no other!
No one wants to go to the gym, but as college freshman, you have to if you don't want to get a serious case of freshman 15. Plus, going with someone who your close with (aka your roomie) can make it way more fun, and you'll have someone to complain to about how you're already winded after half a mile.
