It’s that time of year again, the one that all fall athletes dread: winter workouts season. The time of the year when your team becomes the closest, simply because you all suffer together. It is also the moment when you begin to regret all of the junk food that you ate over break. Coach says that the workouts are optional, but let's be real, he will remember all of the sessions that you skipped when you are struggling to keep up during the spring season. Luckily, we are all in this together (thanks, "High School Musical").

1. Crying because you didn’t do anything from the winter workout packet.

It’s the first day of workouts and you think that coach is gonna take it easy on you guys. Instead, you find yourself struggling after your first workout.

2. Questioning why your teammate is running so fast.

We all have that teammate who sprints their warm up lap. Let's remember it’s just a warm-up, not the track Olympics.

3. Constantly repeating no in your head.

You can’t feel your legs or arms anymore and you don’t know what other workout coach can possibly have planned for you guys. You conclude that you’re probably finished and 0.2 seconds later coach lets you guys know that you still have an interval run left.

4. Wondering if your coach just loves to watch you suffer.

You’ve asked you coach if he wants to workout with you, but he quickly declines every time. Too bad that won’t stop him from keeping a smirk on his face while he watches you and your teammates struggle during the workouts.

5. Constantly dozing off during class.

Yes, I know that we’re supposed to be working in groups. Did you work out this morning, though? Didn’t thinks so. Leave me alone.

6. Checking yourself out in the mirror to see if you look more fit.

Why do I still look the same? I’ve worked out for two days in a row, I mean, that should be enough.

7. Getting weird looks from everyone as you walk around campus.

If you worked out with us, you’d be walking like this too.

8. Crying happy tears because it’s finally Friday and you have the weekend off.

You and your team cried, yelled, laughed, and cried some more during your workouts but you’re finally done. Besides, it’s all gonna pay off, right?
