25 Excuses I Tell Myself to Avoid Working Out

  1. My workout regimen starts tomorrow. No need to worry about it today.
  2. I can’t start in the middle of the week. I’ll have to wait until next Monday.
  3. I’ve already ruined my diet today, so working out isn’t going to help.
  4. I’m feeling skinny, so there’s no need to go to the gym today.
  5. I’m feeling fat, I’d better eat my feelings first.
  6. I’m full, maybe after this next season episode on Netflix.
  7. I’m too tired tonight. I’ll get up early and go in the morning.
  8. I’m too tired this morning, I’ll go during my lunch break.
  9. My coworkers invited me to lunch. I can’t turn them down for the gym. I’ll go after work.
  10. I forgot my gym clothes. Guess I’ll have to go tomorrow.
  11. I’ll work out at home. P90X will be better for me anyway.
  12. My DVD player doesn’t work. I guess I’ll watch it on YouTube.
  13. My laptop screen is too small. This is pointless.
  14. Maybe if I just do a few jumping jacks, that’ll get me motivated to run.
  15. I did fifteen jumping jacks. I probably already burned 200 calories. That’s enough for today.
  16. I would go work out, but then I would have to shower again and I don’t want to wash my hair today.
  17. They say that abs are made in the kitchen. Maybe I can just starve myself skinny.
  18. I don’t really have time this week. I’ll start next week after things calm down at work.
  19. Work was really stressful. I just need to sit on the couch to unwind.
  20. It’s not like anyone sees me naked anyway. What’s the point?
  21. My boyfriend doesn’t care what I look like. He has to love me.
  22. Bikini season doesn’t start until May. I have plenty of time to look good.
  23. I deserve a night/week/month off.
  24. Thanksgiving is coming. I’ll gain a whole bunch of weight then anyway.
  25. This can be my 2014 resolution. I’ll start working out in January.

  3. I have definitely used the excuse “wait…I have to see if As Told By Ginger is on Netflix” to psych myself out of the gym.
