Whether you're still going strong on your New Year's resolution, or just going to the gym so you can maintain your mildly athletic facade, there are always a couple emotions that gym-goers share.
1. "I have to go workout"
I really don't wanna do this. I'm still sore from yesterday. Can I just take a nap?
2. Getting pumped up on the way there
Okay, I can do this. I can definitely do this. I'm a cardio MASTER.
3. Seeing familiar faces
I just walked in...why are like, seven people I know here? NOPE.
4. The first few minutes of cardio
This isn't terrible! I can keep this up for a half-hour— let's go longer!
5. Let's sweat!
Oh god, I'm dripping buckets. I can literally feel it running down the back of my legs, my arms, down my forehead... I FEEL SO GROSS. I'm SO looking forward to this post-workout shower.
6. OVER IT
I can't breathe, my legs are on fire... why am I still doing this? Why did I think that this was a good idea?
7. This is it... this is the end.
When you almost slip and fall on the treadmill and your life flashes before your eyes... totally casual.
9. Stretch time
I think I love stretching so much because I love people-watching. Creepy, right?
10. Eye candy
Perks of going to the gym: really buff guys in really small shirts. That's always good to have, right?
11. I can definitely do 20-pound weights...
How do people pick these up like they're nothing???
12. The last rep of the day— here we go!
13. Stairs... Why did I think taking the stairs would be a good idea?
My thighs and booty are crying.
14. YOU DID IT!
Proud of you! Now walk (crawl) out of the gym like the strong, badass woman you are!
15. Finally home
There's nothing better than coming home, taking off your shoes, and crashing on the couch after a nice, soul-cleansing shower. Now to do it all again tomorrow...
