Got the lazy bug right now and am contemplating NOT going to the gym. I already took my rest day on Wednesday. I know if I don’t go I’ll feel crummy but can’t get my butt up off this couch!! Help talk some sense into me!!

Is it a workout you enjoy doing? I find I'm less likely to give in and be lazy when I actually enjoy my workout. Maybe you need to change things up.0

I don’t really mind the workouts- but I don’t really enjoy working out at all lol...I had a sick kid a few days ago so I think I’m still just mentally exhausted from that- sometimes I get home and sit too long and grow “roots” and don’t want to get up. I think I’m going to watch an episode of something and at least just row on the machine.

When it comes to cardio I hate doing it, so I made a long term deal that I can't watch TV until I do cardio. Some people find that getting ready for the gym/their workout is enough to get them to go, but I can get dressed and walk into the gym, then turn around and leave without working out.3 -
Make a deal with yourself to go to the gym and do say 2/3 of your regular workout. Or 1/2. Something is better than nothing.1

Thanks for your replies. I put on a show I like, rowed for 15 mins, then felt motivated to keep going and did another 35 mins of calisthenics (alternating jumping jacks, push-ups, crunches, burpees, and lunges from 50 down to 5) I’m pooped and deserving of those roots now!! Thanks again for replying5

2 things I found out. 1) I needed an at home alternative workout. Some days I just couldn’t make the gym. The workout had to be enough so I could look myself in the mirror and say I did a workout. 2) When I made deals with myself to do less, once started, I usually did more. Sometimes I did the whole thing. The mind is a strange place.3

I usually try to go in the morning before work just because I’m still half asleep, so I’m not really thinking about it lol2
