    I have exercised on my birthday because I wasn't doing much. There's also times when I haven't. Frankly it depends on how I feel. Do what feels right.

    My birthday was last Monday, I worked out. I feel better when I work out. Do what you want to do.

    I planned to go to the gym on my birthday, although my husband didn't like that. But in the end, the stomach bug kept me home from the gym and doing anything fun, so my husband got half of what he wanted.

    I would...but exercise isn't really a chore for me...I love to ride and I love to lift. Actually if it were my birthday I'd probably take the day off work so I could really get out there and enjoy a good long ride.

    I've been to the gym every year for my last 3 birthdays; which is about the time I got serious about going to the gym!!! I personally love my gym time...it's my "me" time...why give that up on your birthday! :)

    If you enjoy it, do it.

    My friends don't get it either. I don't view my gym time as "exercise" anyway. It's like stress relief, anger management therapy, and an adrenaline rush, so I'd love to be in the ring or on the mats on my birthday.

    Hell yesss! For my birthday I usually am excited if my family picks up the slack around the house so I can go to the gym MORE :)

    Do whatever makes YOU happy... don't worry about what other people think (especially not on your birthday!). Clearly the fact you're even thinking about going is because you want to!

    I feel so awesome after my workouts; there is no way I would skip feeling that way on my birthday... and if you're doing it in the AM, it will add a little pep in your step ALL day!!!!

    Why would you not?? You eat and sleep as well. A gym is not just for Christmas B)

    Personally... I'm not a morning person, so I couldn't find a reason to go to the gym that early on ANY DAY... but yes, even if it was my birthday I would work out. Especially if I had a special dinner planned so I could make sure I wouldn't feel guilty about indulging a little :) Happy Early Birthday!

    I always take a personal day on my birthday (when it falls on a weekday), and that lets me sleep in AND get a run in relatively early. So I'm just agreeing with everyone that's already said to do whatever makes you happy that day.

    Yes, I love running so I go out and run on my birthday! Last year I was fortunate enough to have a race on my birthday.

    People always say but it's only once a year for special occasions, which is true, but there are lots of special occasions; your birthday, my birthday, valentines day, fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc...

    What I do is I may have an extra treat, or a drink or two if it's a weekend, and not fuss about it.

    I would love to go on a hike for my birthday this year! You said the key words in your original post... you said you enjoy exercising. I do believe in doing what you want on your birthday (and I'm 32 years old) and, if you want to exercise, go for it!

    Yes. I love to exercise, so I'm not going to hold back on something I enjoy because it's my birthday.

    The favorite part of my birthday is a kick *kitten* run. I have a June birthday and the weather is usually nice so I go for a hard run so I can feel bad *kitten* and powerful all day long.

    I didn't last year on my birthday (I had meningitis and couldn't do anything but lay in bed on my birthday). This year I will (just like I did on thanksgiving, Christmas and new year) because I like to and its "my day" so I get to do what makes me happy.
