Excuses For Not Exercising Today

  • “Didn’t eat my Wheaties.”
  • “That old guy at the gym that looks just like Popeye creeps me out.”
  • “Currently using exercise DVD as a coaster; don’t want glass to leave water ring on the furniture.”
  • “Worried that my gym might be haunted.”
  • “Spilled my energy drink. Now low on energy…”
  • “Still on hold with Comcast.”
  • “Spandex pants are still out on the clothesline.”
  • “My little Wii Fit fellow looks sad.”
  • “Already worked out one day in a row this week. What am I, a machine?”
  • “Still embarrassed after falling off elliptical last week.”
  • “Mirrors at the gym make me look 20 lbs. heavier.”
  • “This episode of Dexter that I DVRed isn’t going to watch itself…”
  • “Don’t want to let go of any of my precious, precious sweat.”
  • “Way behind on my catalog browsing.”
  • “Pulled a muscle changing smoke alarm battery.”
  • “Personal trainer looked at me funny last time I was there.”
  • “Dog poo still on running shoes…”
  • “Can’t find my lucky workout socks.”
  • “I’m feeling a little H1N1y”
  • “Dog ate my heart rate monitor.”
Whenever I hear people’s excuses for not exercising, they generally sound just about as lame as these. Do yourself a favor and GO GET YOUR SWEAT ON!

  3. I love your in the face messages! Get up, move the feet & just do it! It does not have to be life shattering but doing something is better than not! Keep pushing the message Jack! It is not rocket science & there is no magic pill.. you have to just do it! It takes effort & hard work but the payoff is your health & life!

  7. But my shoes are only good for so many miles (according to the running shop) and with money running tight I have to save the miles so I don't have to go buy new exercise shoes. :)

  8. I've been sat here all day trying to think of an excuse not to go to Spin class tonight, you've just given me the required kick to get my fat ass there! Thanks :)

  9. The maid at the hotel I stayed at over the weekend threw away my neoprene shorts, and I BRIEFLY considered not doing cardio b/c of it (big thigh chafing mess of a man right here), but I did anyway.

    I can relate to the Comcast one though, what a bunch of f*cktards.

  13. I'm still using the whole "trick knee" thing for the time being. Working like a charm, at least til I get the replacement. :)

  14. if only the gym mirrors made me look 20 lbs heavier than my ideal weight! I'd be back for more in a heartbeat!
    And I'm not always in front of a DVD or on a machine, but those days, I make sure to get at least a 2-3 mile walk in, I think those qualify!

  16. but...I hate water rings.

    How's about, the little shop owner who was supposed to sew on my girl scout daisy troop badges had me take every single flippin one out of their industrial strength wrapping and tape them, petal by petal, onto the EXACT PLACE i WANTED THEM SEWN ON...one and a half hours later...I was finished....

  20. Hilarious. Just yesterday I was mad because I couldn't find my tennis shoes to workout. So I did it barefoot! I knew that if I let myself miss one day it would snowball...and actually it felt kind of awesome to jump around without shoes!

  21. I'm going with, "It's raining and cold and the gym doesn't have covered parking."

    Unfortunately, I have a treadmill, cardio step, and weights at home. Looks like I'm stuck with a workout. Darn. :)

  22. What about "It's colder than a witch's tit outside and I don't want to freeze"??

    Great post! :)

  23. "I would, but I'm really comfortable on the couch and won't be able to get back into perfect position again." That's mine. ;)

  24. Aw shit, Jack Sh*t - I can't think of a funnier one than you have here other than I'm holding down the couch so it doesn't float away. Seriously.

  25. "Got up too late and you can't go to the gym for less than 60 minutes. Even 59 would be pointless."

  26. I couldn't find my lucky Pilates toe socks yesterday and I haven't had a pedicure in 6 weeks! Damn it!!!

    Oh well, bare feet it was!

  27. But I DO feel a little H1N1! Wahhhhh! I've been under the weather since Friday and so so so sad. I can't work out. I can barely get through the day. This feel SO un-ME, and I can't take it! AGHHHHH!
