1. When your roommate first suggests taking a trip to the gym.

2. But you begrudgingly tag along because you know that working out is "good for you" or whatever.

3. You walk in, and some bald, scary-looking guy is lifting like six billion pounds, while you're trying to hide the fact that you're out of breath just from walking from the parking lot.

4. You see all the treadmills and other cardio machines to your right, and painfully remember the last time you thought this was a good idea.

5. You decide that since you're already here, you might as well ride the bike for a little bit.

6. About 10 minutes later, you start to get tired and lazy, so you decide to give yourself a little pep talk.

7. You think about that pizza you were about to order before you went to the gym and imagine this is what it would be saying to you right now.

8. Your roommate walks past your bike and asks you how your workout is going.

9. Your mind wanders as you try to stay focused, and you start to ask yourself some of life's greatest questions while pedaling to your death.

10. Then someone posts in your group chat that there is free food on campus and you know you can't pass up free food.

11. You go to tell your roommate that you've had enough exercise for today and she doesn't really feel bad for you at all.

12. But you know you are a champ for finally working out and taking the opportunity to fully observe all the eye candy at the gym.

Let's face it, working out isn't always the greatest thing in the world. But who knows, maybe you'll start your own "How I Met Your Mother" story somewhere in between all the reps and the weird grunts coming from that overly sweaty guy in the corner.
