Would YOU exercise on your birthday?

So a week on Thursday is my birthday and I usually get up at 5.15am for an hour spin class at 6.30am which I really enjoy. However some people have said I should give it a rest as it's my birthday, especially as I go to the gym/pool 6/7 days a week. Is it alright for me to go as usual or does it make me "sad" for going?

it's just another day .. unless you're under 10 in which case the entire world grounds to a halt
and anyway I enjoy exercising0 -
Yes, I signed up for a 5k on my birthday (and didn't get to do it due to injury - I cried from disappointment)0
-
Yes, so I can eat more0

Who cares what other people think? It's your birthday, you do what YOU want. If that's spin class, have fun. If it's staying sleeping in, enjoy.0

Just a regular day.
Maybe if you hated exercise. But if you hated it why are you doing it in the first place? Find something you enjoy.0 -
If you enjoy it, definitely go. Don't worry about what everyone else thinks.0

You have 24 hours to celebrate your birthday! Be good to yourself and enjoy the routine you have worked hard to establish - then bring on the cake!! Happy birthday0

I know I'm generally pretty miserable if I miss a workout - so yes. I do.0

I exercise almost everyday even if it is my birthday. On my last my birthday I took a six mile hike on a trail along a nature preserve with my buddies. A great way to spend the day.0

why do you care what other people think? do what you want to do.
i just looked in my diary and last year i went for a 2 and a half mile run, and the year before i did Insanity Power and Resistance workout...0 -

I think a lot of people have such negative feelings about "diet" and exercise that they assume you're lying to yourself when you say you enjoy it. If it makes you happy, do it!0

Why overthink this? Do what YOU want. You don't have to exercise if you want to take a rest day, it won't set you back. If you treat it like any other day, then exercise...0

Yes. If i recall properly i did it last year, unless of course something unexpected occurs, e.g. surprise dinner etc.0
-
If you enjoy it why the hell not? You never know, they might spin to "Happy Birthday" for you.0
-
100% yes! It doesn't make you strange or odd.0
-
Hell Yes I would...then maybe go for a Sushi buffet0
-
tomorrow for me and yes!0
