11 Thoughts Everyone Has After Finally Working Out Again
Gym Ventures

If you're anything like me, you've been feeling guilty for ages about falling off of your workout schedule. For a while you had it down to a science, keeping your routine on point, but then for one reason or another, either a busy schedule, a lazy summer break, or something else all together, you stopped going. You kept telling yourself you'd go next week. Now the time is finally here, and you're going back to the gym for the first time in months. I'm in the same boat, so I know exactly what you're thinking.

1. Is this the real life?

You can't believe it's really happening. You're a little bit nervous. You have your headphones and your playlist. You might even have the squad. It's for real.

2. I'm straight up about to kill this workout.

I'm going to throw. It. On. The. Ground.

3. My body is ready.

You've done all your stretches and a light warm up. You've never felt so alive. This is your moment. Nothing is going to stop you.

4. Why did I stop in the first place?

It's a breeze. You could do this all day.

5. I TAKE IT BACK.

I was terribly mistaken. This hurts. I have the stamina of a not-so-young person. Why did I think this was a good idea?

6. This is awful, yet strangely exhilarating.

Are you into pain? Who knows. But this hurts. And you're happy about it. And you don't quite get that.

7. Have I earned a water break yet?

You're taking a break because you need to stay hydrated. It's totally not because your muscles are screaming for mercy.

8. How sexy do I look right now?

You're at the gym right now. You're sweating. You're basically a fitness god. Someone has got to see this and be impressed.

9. If I work out hard enough, will my muscles look like clouds?

"They said I could be anything, so I became a cloud." --The Internet
Beautiful. Stunning. #goals

10. I am going to be so sore.


It's been so long. You're so out of shape.

11. I can't wait for next time.

A few more work outs and you'll be the next Sean T. Just wait.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
