20 Reasons Not To Work Out
Dose

Going to the gym seems to be a daily struggle protruding into the mind every day. Whether you have a morning, afternoon, or a late night preference for the gym, sometimes you can't help but want to pull out every excuse you can imagine to skipping it.

1. You could be sleeping instead.

2. You could be eating instead.

3. There is always that one person trying way too hard.

4. Moving and lifting things is hard.

5. There is that one person of the opposite gender trying way too hard to get attention.

6. Weights are heavy.

7. The machines are complicated to figure out.

8. The gym is stinky.

9. Workout equipment can be dangerous.

10. Sweating is for whores in church, not you of course.

11. Nobody should have to see the weird faces you make when working out.

12. You could break a bone...or your head...or you could die.

13. Watching the Biggest Loser is close enough, right??

14. Work out clothes are just too expensive and you are too broke for them. And the ones you do have, you wouldn't want to get them dirty.

15. You already did enough exercising walking to the kitchen this morning.

16. I mean, you showered last night, why would you want to do it again?

17. The next episode of the Bachelor is CRUCIAL to watch and you have to know how the fantasy suites go.

18. Beyonce says you can do whatever you want and Beyonce is queen.

19. Experts say a glass of wine a day has similar health benefits of working out for an hour....so if you drink 4 glasses of wine that's 4 hours of working out right??


20. Your phone is at 20% and if you work out an hour listening to Spotify your battery might die and you cannot risk that.
