Despite what social media might lead you to believe, there are plenty of people who would rather do just about anything instead of hitting the gym before work on a weekday morning. Because let's face it: Being healthy is hard work (and expensive!), and not everyone is going to love doing it, even if you know it's ~important~.
But if you, too, hate exercising with the fiery passion of a thousand suns, you're definitely not alone. Here are just a few hilariously relatable tweets from people who totally get the struggle of forcing yourself to exercise.

The gym is a place for people carrying out punishments from greek gods, as in a bike that goes nowhere & a weight that falls on your chest.
