    Your muscles are still spazing out over an hour after you leave the gym, as if to say 'seriously dude, wtf were you thinking?'

    When you have a Garmin HR Monitor imprint on your chest, and you cannot possibly undo the strap to take it off...

    When trying to take out your contact lenses requires a team effort with your spouse or a child...

    When you get out of the gym and cannot insert the car key in the ignition, let alone put your foot on the brake or shift the car into gear...

    You can't properly sit on the toilet because your hamstrings hurt so much (my current situation!)

    The day after a leg workout you limit your fluid intake so you have to use the restroom less, because sitting & standing is too painful. O.o

    When I get in my car and can't drive home because my legs are too shaky to step on the clutch!

    Also, today I was so sweaty that I left a wet butt mark on the couch. EEEWW!!!!

    You put off going to the bathroom, because the thought of having to lower yourself down to the toilet makes you wince in pain.... not to mention the thought of needing a crane to pull you back off the pot:)
  • man nips are chaffed.. and it hurts!

    Hooo boy. Done that, and that first blast of soapy water in the shower gets your attention.

    The other posters are right, though. A bit of Glide applied before heading out will keep you safe.

    when you end up with the equivalent of diaper rash from your armpit to waist after a treadmill and/or elliptical session. Also, dropkicking a bike after a particularly difficult spin class *true story*.

    My husband uses Bunion Cushions by DrScholl. They are like an adhesive bandage circle but the center is blank. He runs 90+ minutes and they dont move. I'll get him some glide to try.

    Your face is redder than Rudolphs nose
  • You're too sore to get off the toilet.

    This, it's aweful. I had a few days where I seriously wished I never had to see stairs again, and that I could pee standing up.

    You feel so hot afterwards (temp wise) than you wear shorts home from the gym in Minnesota in winter.

    OMG! I used to live in Minneapolis and I remember walking 2 blocks to the gym to workout and I had on about a zillion layers and was covered from head to toe save a couple of exposed inches of skin on my face. I was literally crying by the time I finished my short walk as I was so freaking cold. MN is brutal! I live in FL now. :-)

    I hate it when you have worked too hard on your forearms/ triceps/ grip strength and you can't pick up any thing. You can't pick up your keys, your water bottle... You feel like you lost all motor function and you are moments from drooling and needing an adult diaper.... At least you feel that way.

    I hate that the worst.... When it hurts to turn the key over when in your car leaving gym...

    Okay let's have some fun.. You know you have worked out hard when..

    after 60 minutes of vigorous running on the treadmill, you experience the sensation of being too tired to slow down. You feel as though if you do not cease IMMEDIATELY, you will die.

    When your students (high school age) ask you why you are walking like you were an extra in a prison scene movie - the b*tch role of course!

    Gotta love going super heavy on deadlifts, squats, lunges, and presses! :sad:
  • When you reallllllly have to force yourself to get up and take a shower...eeeewwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Leaving the gym with a curly hairstyle when you know it was straight went you got to the gym......

    ...you have to hold on to the knobs on both sides of the bathroom door and use your arm strength to lower yourself onto the throne - because your thighs cannot do anything resembling another squat.

    you have to rinse the sweat off your contact lenses so you can see properly to drive home.
