    I'd say the "people will stare at me" excuse is pretty far from the truth.
    Most people at the gym are just there to work out. It isn't high school.
    I have an alumni membership at a college gym. Not that far off from high school. :ohwell:

    My excuse for not "going to" my HOME "gym"... Got the carpet replaced and all the weight equipment was jammed up in a corner of the garage, waiting for me to finish putting stuff back together and unroll the new rubber mat... Which had to lie flat and air out... Now the room isn't finished, but the rack and bench are back, so no more excuses. I'll start up again, uh, Monday! Yeah! :bigsmile:

    No excuses from me. :)

    Well... the only 3 possible reasons I didn't show up at gym are period, sick and social appointments.

    Well, me being female I can fully understand the period thing. Those come at the worst time. But so far not on christmas.

    My worst excuse was "but I have to go too work today" (I work 6 sometimes 7 days a week for the past 4 years)

    The old me didn't know how important time managment was.

    My friend once told me his car was in the shop and he did not have a ride (both of his feet worked just fine and he lived less than one mile away from the gym).

    (On a Tuesday) I don't have time to work out every night this week/go to my usual class/etc., so I'm just going to write this week off and start over fresh on Monday.

    forgot one of sneakers- of course on that one I was at the gym before I realized it and had rode iwth my hubby and he wasn't finished.

    I'm too cold to go change clothes or go outside and this blanket is comfy

    I'll do it after this chore or tv show

    I don't want to wake my husband sleeping on the couch (for tv based workouts)

    One time I was *cough* very intoxicated and I knew I had to go to the gym in the morning so while in that state, drunk me decided to "help" sober me by hiding one of my sneakers. It took me about an hour to find it the next day.

    I guess that was making an excuse?

    Social Anxiety! Probably the biggest reason I avoid the gym. >.< Becomes a paradox when you realize going to the gym was supposed to be part of my recovery of social anxiety.

    These are excuses one of my boyfriend's friends uses:
    -"I can't come to the gym I have to mail a letter"
    -"I can't come to the gym, I'm making pizza."
    "Why can't you come after you make the pizza?"
    "It's like 20 minutes to make it, then 20 to eat it, I just don't have the time."

    Like what I do at home more.
    My worst excuse use to be because I'm not slim enough.
