Really dreading going to the gym today...

I slept in today so it's already 10am and I'm just finishing off my OJ and cereal. For some reason my body feels exhausted and I really don't have the motivation to get up and walk over to the gym, much less work out for 30-60 minutes. What do you guys do when you just don't want to get up and go work out?

I tell myself I only have to do 10 minutes and if I still don't feel like working out - I can quit. But I have to do at least 10 minutes.

I think I've stopped like once. Its more the *idea* of getting ready to workout and starting the workout I don't want to do --- once I'm actually going, I'm good with it.

Do it! And do what EPJ said. Once you get started you'll feel better

Lots of times, just putting on your workout clothes makes you feel like working out.

Or....take a nap if you can and work out after you wake up and have more energy.

yeah i also feel like that, usually after a 9 hour shift at work and then the thought of going to the gym when i just want to go home and put my feet up is daunting.

I usually think of how guilty i would feel if i didnt go, or I just get my husband to drag me to the gym by my earlobes if he has to, once im there im fine!

Thanks guys. Funny, once I ended up at the gym I ended up doing a better workout than I did yesterday !!
