I worked out on my birthday. There is nothing wrong with it. In fact, working out meant I had more calories for yummy birthday cake.0

I would definitely go for a workout on my birthday because I would probably eat ice cream so the exercise helps minimize how far over my calories I would be.0

Happy (almost) Birthday! Wait & make your decision when you wake up that morning. If it were me, I wouldn't go. I'd go have a big stack of blueberry pancakes at ihop!0

Go for it! And enjoy the birthday cake/wine/whatever!0

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 is YOUR birthday not theirs. If you enjoy exercise why would it be sad to do it on your birthday? It would be sad to let other people keep you from doing things you like.
So, exercise if you want... maybe try something new that day if there is something you've been thinking about or try for a new personal record time/distance.0 -

Yep! I enjoy my workouts!0

An extra long workout would be my present to myself. Don't let others tell you how to spend your birthday. Do what makes you happy.0

I work out on my birthday--firstly because I like to work out, and secondly because I was planning on eating lobster and cake and having a glass of wine for my birthday dinner!0

Birthday and Christmas
Wakes me up for the day and stops me picking at bits of food while I'm busy.0 -
If it's a workout day, I work out. I only change my schedule around stat holidays (i.e have to work with gym hours) or around having too much crap to do (i.e. multiple exams).0

My trainer makes everyone do as many up-downs as years the birthday person is old. Just do whatever it takes to make it a good day. It's nice to indulge, even if you indulge by working out0

I always do a long slow scenic run on my birfday... it's such a great meditative process for me.0
