Worst excuses for not going to the gym...

At my gym us regulars get our own designated lockers... just so we can be sure to always have one. My friends lost some weight and then got slack and started to regain it. I was trying to get her to come with me and she said-
"i can't ..... i have lost my locker key" !!! I mean seriously!!!! I offered her to share mine and she said her stuff wouldnt fit!!!!
Beat that for worst excuse!

My excuse is that I am not a people person and I can't justify paying for a gym membership when I am perfectly capable of working out at home or outside (plus it is more enjoyable). Plus putting food on the table trumps having to pay my gym membership.

Yes! Walking in the snow or shoveling snow is an awesome workout and the worst excuse for not working out!

I absolutely love your ticker!!!!!! I want an adipose tattoo!

Yours is so cute too! I love that tattoo idea!

"I forgot my workout clothes."

(My gym actually loans out clean workout clothes.)

"They don't have any in my size."

1) its snowing xx

Really? Ever spin out?
Except if its a blizzard. I guess then you can shovel.

Yeah...I live 30 miles from anything like a gym...so snow may very well be a good reason to stay home.

I'm with the OP on this one.

I have a friend that actually signed up for a gym membership for NY resolution, but has yet to come. I asked her why...

She said she wants to lose weight before she starts going so that she doesn't get made fun of.

*Smacks hand to forehead*

How does that even make any sense? you gotta get to the gym to start losing!

"I just washed my hair"

It was hard thinking of an excuse not already listed since I have used many of them....so...

"My cat was sitting on my lap and I didn't want to wake her"

My excuse had always been, "I don't have a sitter for my kids."

I need to get to <restaurant> because they've got <delicious but less than healthy food> on special.

i did zumba yesterday and i dont want to overtrain

just got my hair/nails done

they're closed :devil:

I just hated the drive. It wasn't all that far, only about 6-8 miles to either of the nearest locations of Planet Fitness, but with traffic, it took 25-30 minutes.

It annoyed me because where I live is 10 minutes or less from pretty much everything "important" in the area: the mall, Target, the arena, the casino, at least three good grocery stores, Lowes and Home Depot, all the major restaurants. But there's no affordable (for me, as a cheapskate) gyms in the area.

So any trip to the gym was immediately 2+ hours out of my day, because I didn't want to spend more time driving than I spent there.

Buying my own weights for home was in the top ten good decisions I ever made. Other than a little bit of slacking around the holidays and intentional rest/breaks/deloads/whatever their called, I've stuck with my run 3x a week and lift 3x a week schedule since July. Can't really complain about the commute when all I have to do is walk upstairs or go outside.

this couch is just SO dang comfy!!!!!!

Beat me to "But then I would actually have to move off the couch"

My biggest excuse is always related to my son (15 months old). I can't go in the morning because my gym doesn't open until 5 and most days he's up by 5:30. Can't go in the evenings because I feel guilty for being away from him all day and we only have limited family time.

I solved that problem by joining a new gym close to where I work so I can get my workouts in on my lunch hour!

gonna start monday

I was def going to state this one! Everyone knows you can only start being healthy on a Monday! (j/k)

Everyone reading this right now----it's a Monday! Get to it.
