Thoughts You Have At the Gym

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Tufts chapter.

Most girls have a love/hate relationship with the gym. Some days we strap on our sports bras and feel like we’re invincible, other days walking to the gym is an exhausting ordeal in itself. If you agree, then these thoughts will probably sound familiar.

Okay, time to work out like a bauss. I’m gonna look like one of those fitness girls on Instagram. I’m gonna get so skinny and hot and fit into all those pretty clothes! I’M SO PUMPED!

 

Treadmill or elliptical?

 

Well hello there, elliptical. We meet again.

 

*takes phone out to pick a playlist and ends up texting for 15 minutes*

 

Okay, enough distractions. Let’s do this thing!

 

I’m not even breathing hard. I’m so fit.

 

Ugh, I love this song.

 

Okay, these boobs are really dancing around. Is this sexy or do I look like a piece of human-shaped Jell-O?

 

What the – how is she running at 9.0 and looking like a freaking gazelle?!

 

Oh, okay, alright, that’s how it is? This race is on, baby.

 

Oh lord… can’t breathe.. Okay, I don’t care, you win. I just need oxygen.

 

OMG! The cute guy on the yoga mats is looking at me. His muscles <3 I think one of my ovaries just exploded. *attempts to move in a sexier way, almost trips*

 

*Passes by a mirror while refilling water bottle* Ewwww. I look so gross. I do not want to see anyone I know right now.

 

*Sees someone you know* I’m so sweaty. Please don’t see me, please don’t see me, please don’t see me.

 

Great, you just had to pick the elliptical next to me.

 

Driver roll up the partition please

 

Maybe I should just be done and leave. Let’s see how many calories I’ve burned… Only 130?!

 

Cardio is stupid. I’ll just go do some weights and ab stuff on the machines. Abs are hot.

 

Do people actually wipe down their machines? Apparently they do. Fine, I’ll be a good person.

 

Please, no one look at me while I try to figure out how this machine works.

 

These are weird and confusing. I should just do some body weight floor stuff.

 

Hmm, what are some good ab and butt workouts besides planks and squats? I’ll look on Pinterest when I get home. 

 

Or maybe I’ll look now. And also take an Instagram break.

 

28… 29… 30! And I’m done! Time to stretch.

 

I’m so gonna start eating healthy and working out all the time. 

Eh, I’ll do that tomorrow. Tonight’s Sundae Sunday…
