The 55 Thoughts That Go Through Your Head in the White Building

As the semester comes to an end and bikini season creeps it’s way in, Her Campus PSU took to the White Building. Although a good work out session does leave you feeling good, the uphill battle is not without a struggle. Here is our stream of consciousness as we worked our way through the White Building, hopefully we’re not alone in these thoughts.

Happy gym-ing,

xoHC

1)   I just walked ¾ of the way up Shortlidge do I really need more exercise?

2)   That counts as my cardio right?

3)   Locker number 107. Combo 1234. Commit to memory. Do NOT screw this up.

4)   There’s no way I gained all this weight, I thought chipotle counted as my vegetables.

5)   But like, I didn’t take my shoes off before I weighed myself…they weigh at least 2 pounds, right?

6)   Officially signed in, let’s do this.

7)   OMG the sneaks on that girl. So cute. I would definitely be more motivated if I had cuter work out clothes.

8)   Holy hot, walking to the cardio room through a haze of testosterone.

9)   Will I grow chest hair if I go into the lifting pit?

10)  It’s really unfair that they put the Food network on in the cardio room.

11)  Lol totally tweeting that ^

12)  The girl next to me is doing incline seven, I should do incline eight.

13)  This calls for some Miley.

14) I’m not going to look at the time until this song is over

15) (30 seconds later) *looks at time…sh*t

16)  I so wouldn’t be here if my roommate didn’t guilt trip me.

17)  I mean I’ve gone twenty minutes so I must stop…the 20-minute limit flyers told me so.

18)  That’s enough cardio right? I should do arm workouts, Michelle Obama def does arm workouts.

19)  But wait did I shave my pits?

20)  S!@$ I didn’t shave my pits…sorry arm workout, maybe next time.

21)  Should I tweet that I’m at the gym, I want people to think I’m healthy. #teambeachbody

22)  So going to snap chat (insert boys name here)

23)  HA never mind that selfie is ratchet.

24)  Maybe I should take a class.

25)  Zumba… Do I need rhythm for that?

26)  Back row, definitely back row.

27)  Why are there mirrors EVERYWHERE?

28)  To the girl who is completely off beat but extremely enthusiastic over there in the front row: oo kill em.

29)   Channel your inner Shakira. My hips do not lie.

30)   I’ve got to remember what these Spanish words sound like, totally need to download this one on iTunes.

31)   Yup, definitely workout playlist material.

32)   4 minutes down. 41 more to go.

33)   It’s okay I can totally do this. I mean I dominate the dance floor at the frats.

34)   Wait that was only the warm up?

35)   Don’t look at the clock.

36)   I am so killing this song.

37)   Feel the beat, feel it.

38)   We are a professional dance company at rehearsal and we are awesome.

39)    I should definitely workout more after this.

40)    Oh my God the comforting sound of the conclusion applaud.

41)   All right off to the land of the ab mats.

42)   I should have googled ab workouts before I got here.

43)   Classic crunches are still a thing, right? What is that girl doing? Should I do that too?

44)   1, 2 skip a few 99, 100.

45)   MY NECK!

46)   Go to the gym they said. You’ll feel great they said.

47)   Headphone: please for the good of all things holy stay in my ear.

48)   Should I try doing planks? Lol no, I’ll save myself the embarrassment.

49)   Did this fratastic muscle man really need to sit right next to me?

50)   Let me try one of those steering-wheel looking weights.

51)   Right left right again.

52)   I think that’ll do it for today.

53)  Where is my name on this sign out list?

54)  *Signs out random*

55)  I totally deserve Kiwi…
