You know it's a good workout when...

When I make grunting noises without caring who is around me.
When sweat drips in my eyes.
When I feel like I could almost do it again.
When I eat super healthy for the rest of the day because I don't want to make my work-out mean nothing.
Thiiiiis!

So true! I know its a good work out when sweat enough to take a nice shower!0

When walking down the stairs at the gym (all the main workout equipment is upstairs, have to go back downstairs to go to the locker room) is difficult. Oh and when my sweat towel is nice and damp. I intend on having one of those workouts tonight!0

When my vision gets cloudy because of the sweat...
When my PT says, ok just 2 more and I push through 5 more... or when I have to say, can I have heavier dumbells please?
When I accomplish something that last workout I couldn't quite do the last time....0 -
This.also.. if Im ridiculously horny within an hour of my workout.... i know it was a freaking amazing one0 -
When I have to take off my glasses because there is so much sweat dripping into them I can't see anyway.0
-
it's a good work out when...the next day I'm sore (not injured, just hard to walk, etc); my clothes are covered in sweat, like there are NO dry spots; I could not do another rep/set/minute of the activity without a break, I worked myself OUT; you got there before everyone on the floor, and left after them0

When I'm really sore the next day0

I play on a team (ultimate frisbee) so I know a workout is worth when my team is successful, we score points, feel good about the way we play, and win! After you've scored a point, you get to catalog your aches and pains, how gross you feel, but the second the pull goes off, all that matter is focus and the disc. I love that feeling. Especially when my BHS is acting up and my heels hurt. The second we start running again, who gives a damn....
It's pretty normal to burn 6-800 calories a day at a frisbee tournament
I love ultimate!!!!
and according to MFP's database, you burn a lot more than that0 -

I will be able to get to this point one day...IT WILL HAPPEN!!!0 -
1. the back of my legs and *kitten* tingle for an hour after I get off the treadmill
2. my shirt is covered in sweat
3. sweat drips from my ponytail, short as it may be0 -
When I want to cry when I realize I have to lift my arms to wash my hair.
THIS!!0 -
When you start thinking towards the end of the workout that death would be too easy.0
-
When my face is red, my clothes are sticking to me, and hair is all tangled...Basically looking like one hot mess, haha.
Also when I wake up the next day I love the pain and the burn...Although it sucks but it is a reminder that I am burning fat, gaining muscle and toning up. But stairs are the devil!0 -
When my face is still red after I've had my shower and am putting on my makeup (I am now thinking I might need a longer cool down...).
When I meet a PR on the treadmill, but give it another mile just because I still have energy to burn.
When going down stairs (or squatting to use the restroom) is torture to my quads.
When my legs are still to sore the next day to wear heels, and I have to do laundry so I can wear pants that are short enough to wear with flats!0 -
When I can barely move the next day.0
-
when sweat pools in my belly button!!!! hahaha0
-
When you are soaking wet with sweat, muscles twitching and know you're gonna ache tomorrow!0

I don't really sweat, at all. I can run 10km in 40 degree C (104 F), up and down a mountain and be dry at the end. So sweat is not a good indication for me!
I couldn't say exactly what makes a good workout. Feeling a little bit tired physically, but exhilarated, I suppose.0 -
I feel ill for a hew hrs afterwards or else my arms shake when I am drying my hair at home 30mins later. Then I know I've done good.0

When you work out so hard that you are oblivious to everything else around you. My husband went to the gym with me the other day and he said I looked like I was in pain when I worked out...lol! It's like, when your in that zone while working out, you don't care or even think about the faces you're making..lol!
I know its a good workout when I feel like I'm going to puke.:noway:0 -

Upon completing your work out, what factor(s) determine whether it was good or not. What is it that puts that extra big smile on your face?
For me, its when I go to brush out my hair. As gross as this may be, if I can wring out sweat from my hair (which is extra thick and heavy), I know it's been a success.
You know you busted your *kitten* in the gym but you still leave feeling good.0 -
You find yourself laughing out loud in the shower at the euphoric "just got done working out" feeling!0

Completed all my working sets (no fails), didn't hurt my groin (old injury), didn't hurt my shins too bad on deadlifts, and I'm ravenously hungry shortly after.0
