Personal trainers have heard it all. Every excuse you can think of to get out of a workout on any given day. I’ve compiled my top ten ridiculous excuses clients use to skip a workout here. I've heard all of these. You should avoid using any of these excuses if you want to remain credible in the eyes of your trainer, as these are not valid reasons to skip a workout.
- I’m on my period, so I’m too bloated to fit into my shorts today.
- I can’t exercise today because I’m going out to dinner afterwards and I don’t want to overeat on my first date.
- I’m getting my hair done in the morning so I can’t workout that afternoon because it’ll ruin my new hairdo.
- All my lulu lemon leggings are in the laundry hamper and they’re the only pants my butt looks good in, so I can’t make it to the gym today, sorry.
- I can’t lift weights today because I just got a manicure.
- It’s raining really hard outside, are you sure you still want to go to the gym?
- My friends aren’t going to be at the gym today, so I’m not going either.
- I forgot to set the DVR and I don’t want to miss my favourite show.
- I’m worried about being too stiff and sore tomorrow.
- I can’t go back to the gym where people will see me until I lose the 5 pounds I put on over the holidays.
No more excuses - get yourself to the gym!
