    I'm already in better shape than most people my age. I can afford to skip a few workouts.

    I only have half an hour before the kids get home. Why bother going for a walk/jog now if I only have half an hour? By the time I get changed and go to the bathroom I'll only have 25 minutes.

    and also this one
    I have too much to do around the house.
    Then I usually don't end up getting anything done around the house...

    I washed my hair and I cant wash it twice as all the nutrients will wash out
    I did my makeup perfect this morning and if I re-do it after exercise, it will never look this good!

    If I work out, I will get sweaty and I don't have time/place/etc. for a shower.

    I broke my toe 5 months ago and it is still sore. It gets worse if I put sneakers on.

    I am 8 months pregnant and my doctor said I needed to stop doing my zumba classes since I am 1cm dilated and doesn't want me giving birth on the dance floor.

    You win!
  • I'm too tired to get out of bed (then I do and feel great)

    Husband is sick, injured, etc and I don't want to go without him (we run together)

    It's too cold

    I twisted the #$% out of my ankle last night while I was running. So since I had a rest day scheduled for tomorrow I'll rest today and run tomorrow. I was going to not respect my rest day tomorrow and run the electric run anyway, but now I'll take a rest day just today instead of tomorrow.
  • I'm so sleepy! I just want someone to bring me cups of tea and cuddles.

    Ok, mine is not an excuse per say. It's more of a fact, a scary, truthful fact that I have to deal with every day.

    There are these little monsters that scare me into eating food, and a lot of it. I try my hardest to pull the covers over me, and be still as possible. Because, we all know that's how monsters don't see you. But, these monsters are GOOD. They can hear me breathe or something, and they attack me from the inside of my mouth! They bring me tasty treats, like cheesecake and pizza. I try to fight them off, but they are just too strong. I didn't want to bring this up, but last night *cry* the tiramisu monster came. He just wouldn't give up until I ate him, all. of. him.

    Nah no excuse, I just eat too much. :grumble:

    i'm tired, and I like sleep more than i like getting up on dark mornings in winter to drive to crossfit and get beasted for an hour with heavy things...... :-(

    and I like bad food more than healthy food.



    I suck

    Not every time, but sometimes I use cripplecramps as an excuse to not exercise. I know my body well enough to know if exercise will help alleviate them, or just be pain on top of agony.

    Legit excuse: I don't exercise immediately after a massage. I did it, once, and nope - not worth how awful I felt the next day and wasting the money the massage cost because I'd ruined all the benefits. Ideally, my alternating days of running align with a run in the am and a massage in the pm. But it doesn't always happen.

    I have too many.... :-/

    I use the treadmill at work, so...I don't want to run there because I look stupid when I run and I don't want someone looking at me.

    The closest gym is 30 miles away and I don't have the money for gas or time to go there.

    It's too rainy...foggy...cold...hot...sticky...snowy...buggy...busy...light...dark...early...late...to run outside today.

    There's no room in my house and I don't like hearing the floor go boom, boom, boom while I do jumping jacks or other exercise.

    ..Yep...they all look ridiculous.

    It used to be "I HATE to sweat". Well, now I just don't like it very much. But I know how great I feel when I'm done with a run, or a ride, or zumba, or whatever, and I start planning out the next time I have to do it.
    I also used these: I can't bring the kids with me, I'll have to wait until hubby is home, but wait, he's only home for dinner then out again for his stuff, so, guess no workout today. (planning on a bike ride with my 4 year old in the kid seat later today)
    I refuse to go out in the rain. (Just last Saturday ran 8.3 miles in the pouring rain, no dreadmill for me, even though I own one!)

    I have become a person of no excuses.

    And funny thing is, I pretty much have to force a rest day on myself these days....

    My partner, who is also my spotter, is stressing out and needs a break. Moral support.

    "We have to make some progress on this darn bedroom renovation. Lets go shopping for base boards and door jambs and start painting them."

    "I gotta rake those leaves before the sun goes down" - I don't feel too bad about this one as raking is a workout too.

    I ate crap yesterday for lunch because there was free pizza delivered to work. I was still hungry after dinner last night too but I knew since I "spent" so much on lunch that is what happens. It was free food!
