A GIF Story: The Struggles of Going to the Gym in the Winter

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Mass Amherst chapter.

It’s getting to be that time of year when girls everywhere start to freak out about getting in tip-top shape for swimsuit season.

Wait… summer is in 3 MONTHS?!

When did this happen? We stop and think what life would be like if we were the “chosen ones.

I mean, maybe you could have done without all those trips to Late Night at Berk…

You decide that you really should go to the gym today but you’re feeling so lazy… like every other day.

You try to picture yourself working out like a bad@$$ to get you motivated to go to the gym.

You’re all set to go until you realize it’s a 20 minute walk to the Rec Center. And it’s currently 10 degrees outside…

The more you think about it, the less appealing the gym becomes. Why is it so hard?

After careful consideration, you decide it is best to skip your workout today… I mean, what’s another day right…?
