You know you have worked out hard when..

will180576

Your shirt is drenched in sweat no matter what the a/c is like and you are literally freaking shaking as you leave the weight room. That's the point I get to every single time. If I don't feel like that I get pissed off with myself 'cause otherwise I just think I am wasting my time. 'train insane or remain the same!'

Wmr1978

When you are doing the stair climber and sweat so much that puddles are forming on stairs and you almost slip in your own sweat

sarahrichards81

When you're so in the zone that you don't realise you've had the same song was on repeat on your ipod for your whole workout (happened twice now)

tdismydog

when you burn out doing a set of curls and the next day you arms are stuck at a 90 degree angle!

ArroganceInStep

Background: I'm in Karate right now, but have a lot of past experience in Judo. When we have a Judo focus at the school I go to, everyone who knows my background tries to beat me up, because 'hey, I just threw a big Judo guy that makes me awesome!' It doesn't matter that I've gone king of the hill against 15 other people already, have 10 more to go, and am exhausted...still counts.


When your fiancee wakes up and comes downstairs to find you passed out on the rug in the foyer because the stairs were just too much effort.

Ruthaw1961

When you need "Swimmers Ear" after a Spinning class to clear your ear canal of the sweat that ran into it!

flong1975

When you fall off the bike rather climbing off, because you no longer have the use of your legs.

HAHAHA - yep!

Of when you step off the elliptical and quick grab the control panel because you realize you have zero feeling in your feet!

I'm glad this thread got bumped, because I as thinking of it as I left the gym and had a hard time pushing the door open. :laugh:

JJinWI

You get home and your daughter is doing things that would normally annoy you and your husband is complaining about something and it doesn't bother you in the least.

Nothing bothers me after a good workout.

sewerchick93

when you contemplate taking a laxative so that you dont have to use your muscles to have a BM.

Daytonsmommy

you fall asleep doing your cool down stretch

^^Bahahaha! Too Funny.

1. When your husband hurries into the living room where you're working out and asks if you're ok because you're breathing so hard he thinks something's wrong with you.
2. When you continue to sweat hours after you've had your shower.
3. When you can't pull your sports bra over your head
4. When your legs cramp so bad after a work out that you have to walk on your tip toes

liftingheavy

When you pray that someone there for the next group class needs your equipment because you do not have the strength to put it away.

shammxo

your pants wont come off.

when you contemplate taking a laxative so that you dont have to use your muscles to have a BM.

LMAO!

katythemommy

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

lmao! I always do that too and won't wear my jacket I'm so hot! Good ol' MN winters! :bigsmile:

ironanimal

When I leave the weight room, one of three things is true;
- Walking to the car park is slow, staggered and very, very painful.
- Lifting my arms to drive my car is very, very painful.
- Trying to stand up once I've driven home is very, very painful.

You have trouble holding your arms up to shampoo your hair after your workout. And... you're starving but can hardly make yourself any food because you're so wiped out.

turbophoenix

when I'm lying on the ground after my stretch for so long that my cat comes to make sure I'm not dead.

when you contemplate taking a laxative so that you dont have to use your muscles to have a BM.

Wow... someone needs to eat more fiber!

Taylerr88

when you cant get up the bus stairs so you have to use the elevator for people in wheel chairs.

shammxo

when I'm lying on the ground after my stretch for so long that my cat comes to make sure I'm not dead.

and then licks your sweaty face.

Yep! Or even better - the other day I was down so long he actually came and kneaded my head - it's like he was giving me a scalp massage to make me feel better!

turbophoenix

see also: when you take a cold shower afterward to cool off and the water is steaming by the time it hits your feet!

norabeth

It hurts to sit down!


Love it!!!!

I have had to have my husband completely undress me & "assist" walking me to the shower cuz I hurt so bad.

- When coworkers ask if everything is ok, because you circle a chair 10 times like a dog trying to find the "right spot" on a dog bed, because sitting down hurts your core and your legs too bad.

itgeekwoman

you can't get off the toilet after a leg workout!!
when you can't scratch your nose after an arm workout
When you can't walk without looking like you've got a pickle up your butt!!
When people avoid you in the hallway because you've got the mma fighter pose with the shoulders around your ears because your muscles are so tight.
when you wake up from sleep because you rolled over and it hurt!!

LMAO of both of these because they both happened to me...lol

l_oudman

These are all priceless.......:laugh: :laugh:
When after doing squats you would prefer to stand all day rather than sit down (because you know it's going to hurt) and you won't be getting back up again in a hurry.

smarionette

When your entire body breaks out in goosebumps despite sweating in your eyes.

Troll

1. Just the idea of brushing your hair makes you cry. 2. Taking off your shoes takes serious planning. 3. You have to wake up when you want to roll over in bed. 4. Your dogs, who are all 60+pound leash demons, walk slightly behind you after the last post-workout squirrel chase and subsequent hissy fit. 5. Nobody you know asks why you look uncomfortable both sitting and standing. 6. If you can manage to take them off without help, your shirt, ponytail holder, shorts, bra, and socks can be wrung out and fill a bucket. 7. Laughing, coughing, or sneezing make you cry. 8. Your fiance calls you the hulk for the next 2 days. 9. when thinking of the workout, you giggle nervously, as if it was a person who did this to you and they arent done. And finally! 10. You cant wait to do it again tomorrow!
