Exercise? I thought you said “extra fries”…

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at St. John's chapter.

1. Holy sh*t, I can’t breathe. I’m so out of shape. 

“Girl…when was the last time you were here? If you can’t remember, it’s been too long. And if you can, and it was 5 weeks ago, it’s been too long. Get it together!”

 

2. Oh no… I hope the guy behind me isn’t staring at my butt.

“How convenient. With five ellipticals free, he chooses the machine directly behind you and your bouncing booty.”

 

3. The sweat’s dripping in my eyes. Ah, it burns! 

“It’s okay, it’s okay! Wipe your eyes with the sleeve of your T-shirt and just push through the pain!”

 

4. Oh my God. Look at her in her sports bra… She looks amazing… I wonder how often she comes here…

“To the girl working out in nothing but her sports bra… You f*%#ing go, girl! You obviously work for those abs, you so deserve to show them off.” 

 

5. I wonder if I’ll be able to see a difference tomorrow…

Sadly, the answer is NO. You’ll probably be sore for the next few days, but the results of your one single gym sesh won’t be visible. Keep working though!

 

6. I NEED to watch another episode of The Vampire Diaries. Ugh, I also need to send a passive aggressive email to my incompetent professor. Oh and I have a whole novel to read and a 6 page paper due tomorrow…Sweet. 

Your to-do list races through your mind almost every second you’re hating being on that treadmill. But, with all of the inevitable boredom that comes with working out, you have time to plan out every remaining second of your day!

 

7. I’m totally rewarding myself with pizza after this.

Buffalo chicken pizza. Garlic knots. Mozzarella sticks. YOU. NEED. IT. ALL.
